Amazon Kindle - electronic reading device?
I am considering purchasing the Amazon Kindle but have a few quesstions.
1) I like to read fan fiction on sites similar to (fanfiction.com, and fictionpress.com) and I would like to know if I can put those on to the kindle or if I can only read published books?
2) The kindle runs off of a sprint card, does that scrounging I have to pay a phone bill or be a sprint customer?
3) Can I use an amazon gift card to by files for my kindle, or do I have to pay with a credit card?
4) Would you recomend the Kindle or a diffrent reading device?
Answers:
1) If it's not on Amazon afterwards you can't read it on the kindle. The Kindle does not even have the entire Amazon.com inventory available.
2) According to Amazon you do not have to be a Sprint customer and you don't have to clear a phone bill.
3) I would be very surprised if they did not allow you to use an Amazon.com gift card.
4) I would not recommend the Kindle. I don't know of any other reading devices.
Here is what I do recommend: review Amazon customers 1 Star reviews. Here is where you will hear something like the negatives. In my opinion some of the flaws are to big to be paying $400 for this device. Some say the cell phone-type reception is not remarkably good, some say the "next page" buttons are too big, some read out the selection is too limited, etc., etc.
With the Kindle, as with any other electronic device, the first book to come out isn't always up to par. The first release is a learning experience for the manufacturer. I used to work surrounded by the software industry and I can tell you from personal experience that software and electronics companies release products knowing full well that they have focal design flaws. I strongly recommend waiting for the next version.
Keep two very critical things in mind. The longer you own the Kindle and accumulate your electronic library the more and more your Kindle becomes a portable and adjectives box of money. If you lose, break or have your Kindle stolen all of your money and e-books might be gone for good. I would check to see if within is some way to electronically recover your purchases before you buy the Kindle.
The other big point to consider is that if you do get the Kindle you are stuck with it for life. You won't know how to transfer your purchases to another reading device from a different company. What if you learn of a better device one day? Your entire library will be committed to the Kindle. You won't be capable of resell the books or lend them out either.
A few things to consider. Please check out the 1 Star reviews at Amazon and hear some of the negatives earlier you make the purchase. Source(s): Watch the Kindle video by Amazon (scroll down the screen to the larger video)
