Question in the order of Amazon's Kindle?
Please note that I know a limited amount about this device. And when I research reviews next to pros and cons the termonology confuses me. (Yes I am a Tech Tard). I really don't care about the locations of the buttons or how some people claim it is repulsive. The only thing ruling wheither I will buy it or not is the following questions: With the grand piano can you search for keywords in a book (this would help next to my lit papers and such)? All I want to do with the thing is read books, plain and simple, not listen to music or read a doc file or type a tabloid, so will this meet my simple need? Another question how does this wireless internet whatnot entity work? My understanding is that you can buy the digital books though the device without having to capture on your computer, is my assumption correct? My next question is do you think it is worth it to continue for a better more adviced version or will this current version meet my requests?
Answers:
Yes, you can easily search for specific words with the the ivories. (It saved my butt with a Greek-lit paper on metaphors.) Right in a minute it's a universal search (all of your books), and then you can click on the book that you're interested contained by. The search results show up as snippets, so you can choose the passages that you actually stipulation.
The free wireless service works perfectly, and you can buy books directly from the device. (I've bought books at 2am, and was so happy that I didn't own to wait until morning to visit a bookstore ... or even get up from the sofa.) The internet be important to me because I hate dragging around a laptop, and I haven't been disappointed. It operate on EVDO (like a cell phone on a data plan), and the wireless can be turned off with a switch if you want to put aside battery power or are boarding a plane. BUT make sure that you're in the coverage nouns: http://www.showmycoverage.com/mycoverage… .
If you're a lit major, you should definitely be aware that you can add non-Amazon text to your device. (You can add them through a computer connection or an SD card for free, or send via e-mail for 10 cents.) I've used my Kindle to read scholarly articles and classic books for free, which is really encouraging as a student. You can check out sites like Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org ) for tons of free books, and I've started an online library of Kindle-specific books at: http://kindle.sinshoppe.com .
You might be surprised by how many functions are useful beyond basically the book-reading aspect. The Kindle allows for "highlighting" and note-taking, which are accessible from the text and are collected in a single file on the Kindle. VERY agreeable for writing papers, although it's not yet perfect (it's a dumping ground organized only by the time of the notation).
The subsequent version will probably be better, but I don't think that it'd be worth waiting for. The current one gets wireless updates, so current features can be added to the first-generation device whenever they're done. There's no telling how long it'll take for version 2.0 to appear, and this one will unite your needs. :)
(And yes, I love my Kindle. I'm sure it's hard to tell. :-P)
