Why the Kindle (I)
I
I leave, another post in my blog ... It must be the cleansing effect of reading more :-) Today I I
the issue of Kindle. When I bought the Kindle, I was thinking a bit before if not better option a tablet: it can also be used to read and also for other things sive. If someone raises the same, some ideas:
- Want primarily an electronic book reader or want primarily a device for browsing, viewing photos, movies ...? if the book is secondary, if you're going to spend only a ratillo to read, a tablet can be your best choice. Make no mistake: if you want to force you to read and less Internet, possibly with the tablet you take humpback ;-). Here, I quote a snippet from my friend Luis Daniel Gonzalez in an article for the agency Aceprensa:
A discussion of e-readers is whether, in the future, the better an apparatus or a multifunctional device for everything. I do not think there is a net response but if I go by what I know, I think he says he likes a device for watching movies and listening to songs and read books, done essentially the first two things and rarely the third. Say nothing if the device can read magazines, go to YouTube, check my email, enter social networking, entertainment video games, etc. And give me convulsions of laughter that arises that a device with all the possibilities, as the recent iPad, you can take to class with books loaded ... In short, who is a reader wants to read, and knows that reading takes time and needs calm: that seems to be the Amazon Kindle bet on the basis of statements of its executives, who see an advantage in its limitations.
- There are people you can read hours LCD screen without problems, good for them, but make sure that's the case. Yes, I can spend a lot of hours in front of the screen without my eyes sting, but still, after hours of work and I spend several days looking at other things gift, pleasure, I prefer the electronic ink. Until I read with electronic ink do not know what you're missing.
tablet - What are you going to buy? because one size iPad is not the most comfortable to read novels (although better than the Kindle 3G/WiFi for PDFs that are not readily convertible into ebook format, comics and art books, for example, although to read a little while, you may not compensate for a tablet and you go to account go to your laptop, netbook or desktop). As for smaller tablets, tend to have 16:9 aspect ratio instead of 4:3 (which is much better for videos, to taste at the time of sailing and running applications, but worse for books and much worse for photos). And if you're determined and inches aspect ratio is not clear to you that want a tablet, ergo do not need it:-D
- I'm not very fond of reading outdoors, but if you you are, forget about the tablet . The fatal LCDs are read in bright light. A case a bit silly but I've experienced today: if you take advantage of reading in street a few minutes while waiting for someone and it's cold, you'll appreciate to turn pages with gloves ;-).
- The battery in the reader ebooks is unmatched, hard lot, but in all honesty for me this was not a determining factor and I think for many people either. For someone to make long trips, it can be.
reader ebooks - only good for one thing, but does so incredibly well. Press the button on the pileup and exit the book to the page you will come to you without doing anything else, it takes about a second.
anyone not want to sell ebooks readers not knowing where he hits. Have clear that they are for novels or text content are (are not the original pages but the text fits the screen size and font of choice): a PDF without turning is a nightmare to read, because it looks too small and zoom is not the same as with a tablet or PC. Also do not expect to find in electronic form as in the bookstore and in some cases it may be necessary to convert formats and it is not always optimal.
The following article of the series: once decided tablet e-book, why I went for the Kindle if it is the least committed to the standard? And another reminder for boaters: the Kindle is more complicated to buy current books in English with other readers.
