Be KIND for Kindle!

Our class was trained for Kindle device for the previous week and we were expecting to receive overwhelming help from Kindle users who need assistance with their device. Kindle is a reading device built for the purpose of paperless environment, so if you're a lover of paperback books (like I am), definitely this is not the right device for you. With its sleek and state of the art invention, this device is powered by E-Ink (Electronic Ink) which would make readers not to really focus on the device itself but rather on the reading. I know that many reading devices have already made their own scene on the market lately but Kindle is different since it is just a reading device, nothing more - nothing less. Unlike on other PDAs and 3rd party reading devices, you have to insert traditional memory cards and delete if it'll be full, with Kindle the memory is already preloaded (just like with Apple devices) and it can store up to 3,500 books or 4G and you're just holding a light device, weighing 247 grams to be exact - like you're holding some documents right on your hand. Experimental features are also included, web browsing and some games are in there, surfing is in black and white though. 


facebook-ing, it's faster if it's 3g + wifi connected

You're gonna hate me and the information I stated above would be useless if I say that, as of this moment, Kindle isn't available here in the Philippines - but it'll work though if you're planning to purchase one. I have seen commuters and some of my friends are using Kindle too. Devices on our office are all working fine and we can download eBooks in just 60 seconds, however corresponding charges would apply per download, there are also free books like Alice in Wonderland, Dracula and the like.

Kindle on standby mode, it doesn't have light too for you to feel reading experience like from that from paperback.


Kindle is so good since you can purchase books right on your fingertips in just 60 seconds, this is also my personal choice if money isn't an option, atleast I can read Haruki Murakami book anytime, anywhere - I (still) prefer paperback books, the feeling after reading thick novels are fulfilling still.
