Anytime a new device comes out that is similar to one that is already made, many speculate about which one will "win" becoming the dominant device. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> won't kill the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>Apple is definitely trying to compete with Amazon because they are launching iBooks but this device alone is not enough to end the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>First of all, some people love electronic ink. It looks like paper and is easy on the eyes. Not everyone wants a $500 or more device to read on a screen which they look at all day at work or while watching television. Electronic ink is easy on the eyes and some love it.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> and the iPhone already run a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> application. There are no known numbers but many believe there are more iPhone users with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> application than actual <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>s have been sold. This means that users of Apple products are some of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>'s biggest market base. They already have the application and use it on the phone meaning many will end up still using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> application on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>.</p><p>There are still <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> exclusive ebooks. With the competition of other eBook readers on the market, Amazon has attempted to get <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> exclusive titles. This means that the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> users will still be purchasing these titles.</p><p>The only strategy Apple could take to try to hurt Amazon would be to literally have to cut their customers off of using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> which would be a bad move as customers would not like the change.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Besides writing informative technology and computer articles Lance also writes on other topics like devices like the <a target="_new" href="http://retractablekeychain.net/">Retractable Key Chain</a> and the <a target="_new" href="http://retractablekeychain.net/retractable-id-badge-holder.html">Retractable ID Holder</a>.</p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-52921180374542368632012-07-28T19:37:00.000-07:002012-07-28T19:37:00.151-07:00Amazon Kindle DX Can Replace Print Versions of Newspapers<br /> <p>With this release, Amazon proved that the market for portable equipment e-books remains huge. With the feature to display newspapers, magazines, textbooks, up to the novel, making this tool a mandatory tool for people who love to travel and want to read anywhere.</p><p>DX comes with a larger screen than its predecessor, the 7.9-inch (K-2 have amounted to six-inch screen). Interestingly, DX is equipped with Auto-Rotating Screen feature that can make the screen display is changed according to the direction you rotate the screen. Whether in the form of portrait to landscape (and vice versa). Auto-Rotating Screen feature can also be found on smart phones output Apple, iPhone.</p><p>Capacity provided to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX big enough, that is 4 GB. The capacity of this magnitude can store approximately 3500 books as much fruit. However, unfortunately Amazon does not add a memory expansion slot for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX. For battery life, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX was accompanied by a rechargeable battery which when fully charged can last up to two weeks.</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX also been equipped with a 3G network that allows users to access the internet anywhere.

Amazon was the first company that realized the importance of EBooks and introduced <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. They succeeded in tapping the potential of electronic books and now sell in millions. The popularity of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> prompted other players in the market to come up with their own versions of EBook readers but none of them have been able to beat the competition except for Apple.</p><p>Apple <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> and Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> have emerged as the two main competitors in the EBook market. Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> comes with the option of having up to 1,500 EBooks uploaded onto its interface and you can read them on the go. It has E-ink display, dense pixilation, reflective screen, highlighting and bookmaking and dictionary, among other specifications. Despite all these functions, it is just an EBook reader. It does not have any other features.</p><p>Apple <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> on the other hand is a complete computer on the go. You can add up to 64 GB of books on its i-Book format and read as many titles as you want. You can use highlighting, bookmarks, focus and dense pixilation and other features on this device as well. Apart from that, you can also watch your favorite movies, connect to the internet, and make word documents and conference with your business partners. It is a computer and not just an EBook reader.</p><p>Given the usability of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> most people have started preferring it over Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. There is however an edge of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> over <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>. Amazon is the largest book seller and it offers great discounts for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> books. Those who have a profound interest in reading find it more suitable to buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> as they are able to read all of their favorite titles without spending much.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Check out my other blogs at <a target="_new" href="http://makeupforblackwomen.org/">Makeup Black Women</a> where you will find the latest information on <a target="_new" href="http://makeupforblackwomen.org/?p=132">Natural Makeup</a></p><p>I'm a full time student and live with my husband Brad and 2 year old baby girl Yoli.

What is an E-reader some may be wondering? It is an electronic, hand-held device, though usually bigger than a phone, that you can read your books on. The types of E-reader vary from brand to brand, but I can tell you right now that they all have their own awesome, unique features and I personally don't think that you can go wrong with any of them. Some of the more popular types of E-readers that will be discussed are the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, Nook, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>, and even the iPhone.</p><p>Amazon was among the first to release an E-reader, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, and it took the world by storm. What is so great about the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is that you feel like you are actually looking at a book, not a computer screen. Unlike many of the others, you can actually take it out into the sun without a glare. Each <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is different when it comes to its features, but the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 3G is my favorite. You can surf the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> store for new books when connected to your wi-fi or even in areas without internet connection, because it has 3-G. You may be thinking how much does this 3G cost a month? Surprisingly, there is no monthly fee! Once you buy the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, the 3G is yours to use as you please without ever having to make another payment.</p><p>Amazon also makes buying books on your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> easy and affordable. To buy a book, all you have to do is go to the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> store on your device, find a book, and press buy now. Your gift card or credit card that you have registered will be charged and the book will automatically show up in your library. You can even by books from the Amazon website to transfer to your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. To do this, all you need to do is go to their website, log into your account, search the book that you are looking for, and Amazon will give you lots of options of types of books. Once you see the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> version, just push buy now and the book will again automatically show up in your library once your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> has internet connection. This comes in handy also when pre-ordering books. If you pre-order a book, the book will automatically go into your library right at midnight when the book is released! No more standing in long lines to get that next Twilight book, for you will be sitting comfortably at home reading before anyone can get their hands on it.</p><p>Another great aspect of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is that you can share libraries. For instance, if all of your family members have a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">kindle</a>, you can all log in under the same account and share books, that way everyone doesn't have to be buying new ones. It also doesn't even matter if you live together. Your family can be countries away and all share the same library. That would be impossible to do with real books! When it comes to your friends, you may not want them logged into your Amazon account but there is a way that you can share with them too. Depending on the book, you will be able to lend it to them. All you have to do is enter their Amazon user name and it will be transferred to them for their reading enjoyment. Worried that they won't give it back? No need to be, because Amazon will automatically send your book back to you after 10 days. If they weren't done reading it yet, just send it back to them.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> also features books that are a lot cheaper than many of the books out there. They run weekly specials of books for only 99 cents, so keep an eye out for those because it changes every week. Also, almost all of their other books come at some sort of a discount. When you purchase your book, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> will list what the market price is for that book, how much you will get it for, and the percentage that you are saving. So basically you are buying books at a discount and then sharing them with everyone else. Does it get much better than that?</p><p>Amazon also has a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> app for those of you that are still not convinced to go buy your very own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. This app will work on many devices including the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>, iPhone, Androids, Blackberrys', and many more. By downloading this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> app, you can get all the great benefits that Amazon has to offer without purchasing a new device. The purchasing of the books works the same with being able to buy either on your device or the Amazon website. You also still have the same great lending and sharing features that you would on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>For the lovers of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>, Amazon has also recently released the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Fire that is an E-reader and a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">tablet</a> combined. With this E-reader, you can read books like before, but when you're done, you can continue to surf the web, play games, watch videos, and even do homework. You get the same great features of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>, but you pay hundreds, yes hundreds, dollars less!</p><p>Overall, if you like to read, then the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> would be a great product for you. They have many makes and models to support what you would want to use it for and they are extremely price affordable in their devices as well as their books. I know personally that my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is basically glue to my hands because I love it so much.

It's a great way to build authority and brand yourself as an expert. The only downside of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is that it's a little bit tough to get the formatting just right.</p><p>Now I've written a number of articles about the power of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> and the its benefits - remember there are authors who've literally sold millions of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> books, one who hit the headlines a few months back - over a million copies in 1 year at only 99cents. Not much I hear you say, but that guy netted over $330,000 and just think about the viral exposure he got -what do you think will happen the next time he publishes a book on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>? It's not rocket science, so get involved...</p><p>The easiest way to do it is to upload the document directly to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Direct Publishing. The site is kdp.amazon.com. Once this is done correctly, your book can be viewed on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> devices and any device with a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> app. This includes PC's, Macs, Androids, Blackberry phones, iPhones, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>s.</p><p>Formats <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Accepts</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> will accept several different formats:</p><p>- Microsoft Word (.doc or.docx)</p><p>- ePub (.epub)</p><p>- Plain text (.txt)</p><p>- HTML (.htm,.html or.zip)</p><p>- Adobe PDF (.pdf)</p><p>- Rich Text Format (.rft)</p><p>- MobiPocket (.mobi or.prc)</p><p>While lots of folks naturally choose to upload Microsoft Word documents directly to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, I'd advise against this. The reason is that there's extra coding in Word documents that the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> reader can't handle. What this code will do is mess up your formatting completely. Your graphics will be screwed up and your fonts misaligned.</p><p>I recommend using Rich Text (.rft) or plain text (.txt) because neither have any extra code that can make things difficult for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> reader.</p><p>Images In Your Books</p><p>Pictures have to be in .jpg format. They should be aligned in the center only. Don't copy and paste them into your document; they should be inserted directly. Currently, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> device itself only shows images in grayscale, but devices with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> apps can show full color.</p><p>Other Formatting Considerations</p><p>- No headers or footers</p><p>- No bullet points</p><p>- No strange characters that the device might not be able to read</p><p>- Bold, italics and indentations are alright</p><p>- Add a page break at the end of each chapter or they'll all run together</p><p>- Use 'indent' under Paragraph Settings instead of tab key if you want to indent</p><p>I suggest making the table of contents at the very end of your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> formatting. The reason is that the page numbers will be different than those of your original document. It looks pretty weird to have an incorrect table of contents, so do this as a last step and make sure it's right.</p><p>Before you upload, you should also scroll through the book slowly one last time looking for anything funny. Be on the lookout in particular for funny page breaks or tabs that you forgot to take out.</p><p>Using MobiPocket Creator</p><p>Another option that makes formatting a heck of a lot easier is to use MobiPocket Creator. This is a free program you can get from MobiPocket.com that converts HTML files into .prc, which is an eBook format. It turns your HTML file directly into <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>-ready eBooks, which means one more step (converting.doc file to HTML, then HTML to .prc) but eliminates a lot of the formatting hassles.</p><p>Once you publish your first <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> eBook, you'll get a feel for which files work best for you. Just don't get frustrated if you have to do a little re-formatting. It becomes second nature after a while. And if you're going to be publishing a lot (which you should be!), it's well worth it to download MobiPocket Creator because it makes it much easier.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Toby Russell, Internet Marketer, Publisher & Property Investor offers tried and tested methods to help you succeed on line.

Here are three really great reasons for purchasing this e-book reader versus any others which may be currently available today:</p><p>1) The Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX is lightweight and very portable. It can hold up to 3,500 e-books, magazines and newspapers in one small and easy to operate device; try carrying around that many printed books everywhere that you go.</p><p>2) The device is completely wireless and never needs to be connected to a personal computer. It features the integrated "whispernet" technology which allows you access to the World Wide Web to download new books, magazines and even to gain access to blogs and the all-important site, Wikipedia. It is perfect for anyone who is studying.</p><p>3) The price is right when you factor in all of the included features of the unit which includes a patented viewing screen that will automatically rotate when the device is; and mimics the look of actual paper. It can handle PDF files natively and can even play MP3 and AAC audio files. It allows you to view your photographs and can even read a book to you.</p><p>It really is amazing just how much stuff can actually be packed into such a small device. So while you are out shopping for that perfect e-book reader, then look no further then the amazing little Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX, the epitome of e-book readers currently available on the market today. While you could always opt for something a little bit cheaper, you will be losing many of the great benefits which can only be found built into the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> standard as basic features which makes this particular device the must-have item on anyone's list this year.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Read our honest <a target="_new" href="http://www.bestdigitalreader.com/kindle-DX-Review.html">Kindle DX review</a> provided by kindle reader owner.

Unfortunately, there haven't been any official announcements from Amazon yet.</p><p>Rumors about a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> smartphone first appeared last week when it was discovered that Amazon was collecting smartphone-related patents. Most tech experts suspected, from the evidence given, that a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> smartphone was in the early stages of development.</p><p>However, a recent report has suggested that the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> smartphone is much farther along in the development cycle than a lot of people anticipated. In fact, the company might be ready to start testing the phone this week. These rumors come from the Wall Street Journal, which is a pretty reputable source as far as tech industry news is concerned.</p><p>The WSJ report can be found on their site but it basically states that Amazon is about to start testing the device this week, if it hasn't starting testing them already. Mass production of a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> smartphone could begin later this year. Some predict the phone could arrive in time for the holiday season, while others think we'll have to wait for early 2013 to get our hands on the so-called '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Phone'.</p><p>When it comes to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Phone specifications, the rumors get a lot vaguer. Some people say the screen is between 4 and 5 inches, but nobody is really sure. Any information about the processor and other hardware specifics is currently unknown.</p><p>If Amazon does enter the smartphone market, it will do so at a time where it faces stiff competition. Apple's iPhone 5 is currently in development and it could be released just before the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Phone, undermining smartphone users who were just looking to upgrade.</p><p>Standing out from the crowded smartphone market could be difficult for Amazon. But if they can replicate the success of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> - and bring their cheaper, more accessible online store to the world of smartphones - then their flagship phone will certainly have a fighting chance.</p><p>I find the idea of a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> smartphone intriguing. It seems like it could be a great win for Amazon, as they continue to try to compete with Apple in the tech space. To me their next step would be some sort of laptop; that way you could actually have a seamless integration across platforms like you can have with Apple. Lots of folks have an iPhone, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>, and MacBook - why not a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> phone, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Fire, and Amazon laptop?</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Thomas Michaels writes for the Kindle Owners Blog, where he works to keep up with the latest Kindle news and tips.

This all changed when Amazon, the world's largest book seller, released a proprietary e-book reader called the '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>' in November of 2007. Since then, things have turned 180 degrees for the struggling e-book market.</p><p>Authors, especially unknown, self published authors are the ones who have most benefited from this emerging market...and for good reason. Because Amazon owns the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, they constantly need new books to include in the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> library. All an author has to do to take advantage of this is to produce his book in the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> format. A paperback version would compliment it, but it isn't necessary. Amazon distributes both.</p><p>Notice I said, distributes, not publish. Publishing and distribution are two completely different things. You can sell your book without a publisher. In most cases, 'you' will be listed as the publisher. But it's hard to sell books without someone to distribute them. This is where Amazon shines. After all...that's what they built their business on, selling books.</p><p>Distribution is the main problem new authors face. They have no way to get their books in front of potential buyers. Sure, they can sell them on their website and maybe through some local bookstores, but neither of these channels usually have much selling power. Getting a book into major brick and mortar bookstores is nearly impossible without an established publisher.</p><p>By making your book available for Amazon's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, it can be seen by millions of potential buyers and for virtually nothing. Remember, if people can't find your book, they can't buy it. By having it on Amazon, people will find it.</p><p>Converting your book into Amazon's format can be a little tricky, but with the right help, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Your book can be uploaded to Amazon's DTP (digital text platform) directly from your computer. If you've written it in Word, you can save it as an HTML file and the DTP will perform the conversion in a minute or two.</p><p>There are several steps to consider along the way though. You'll need to know how to strip out the extra control codes that Word inserts into your file. You'll need to know about copyrights, ISBN numbers, setting up your Amazon account, business license, direct deposits, title pages, author credits, and a few other things that though they're not mandatory, they are still worth knowing about.</p><p>Most aspiring authors think that they're going to have to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars to get their book out in the market place. That's just not so...if you know how to do it. The bottom line is...you can get your book online and for sale in Amazon's store for nothing.</p><p>Amazon isn't the only player in the e-book arena. Sony, Apple, Barnes & Nobel, and several others are getting into it too. Just under 2 million E-book readers were sold last year. In 2010, this is projected to jump to between 7 and 8 million, and the trend is expected to continue.</p><p>If you've ever thought about writing a book, you couldn't have picked a better time. It's hard to go wrong when you can get it into the world's biggest book store, for nothing.</p><p>The best way to get detailed information on how to get your book into Amazon's bookstore is to log onto Amazon and type, "how to publish <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">kindle</a>" into their search engine. Several pages of 'how-to' books will come up. The most useful books will be those listed first. Look for the least expensive with at least a (3) star rating and you'll be good to go.</p><p>Here's the icing on the cake. Since its inception, Amazon authors have been getting a royalty of 35% of the retail selling price for each <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> book Amazon sells. As of June 30th, 2010, this royalty will be 'doubled' to 70%. That's a 100% raise!</p><p>This is an exciting time to be a new author. Never in the history of writing could an author get a book in front of millions of readers so easily, if at all! As e-book readers drop in price, e-book sales will grow exponentially. If you've written a book but never thought you could get it to market, think again.

Yet that's what I did. I also updated that announcement three weeks later when my book fell to 278,000 and then broke into the Top 10,000. You see, my ranking began at 950,000 - and I like progress.</p><p>Read on if you care to learn why these rankings matter for indie fiction and non-fiction authors, as well as business people who know they have a book (or article) in them but are too busy to take the leap.</p><p>The Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Select program fueled my rise (and fall and then rise). As a member I am allowed five giveaway days every three months. This promotion tool allows an author of articles and books to get some much-needed attention - if the author does some simple promotion.</p><p>You may wonder, why give away a book for free? Free is the new windfall. By sharing your article or book for free, you have the potential to achieve significant downloads. If you do this well, the Amazon system will be very pleased and begin improving your book ranking - even though no actual sales have occurred. Yet sales eventually will occur. More on that later.</p><p>In June of 2012, my first free day netted 209 downloads. I was thrilled because a writing colleague had told me that even 100 downloads can be significant.</p><p>In July of 2012 my second free day netted 5,376 downloads. I was stunned. My ranking soared from about 275,000 to as low as 9,950. How did it happen? I'll tell you. But first...</p><p>Think about it. You are a new author, or you have a new business or acting or singing career and you need a boost. You create a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Select article - a fairly short piece - or short book. It must be...</p><p>fun to read<br />informative<br />biographical and/or insightful.</p><p>But it can also include contact info and promotions for your product, service or expertise. How do 5,376 new fans sound?</p><p><strong>HOW TO MANAGE A FREE DAY W/ <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">KINDLE</a> SELECT</strong></p><p>As of July 3, 2012 my Amazon ranking for my new title is about 17,000. I guarantee my rank will continue to drop, until I can generate more sales and promote another free day. And yet for a couple days I was ranked in the Top 100 in three categories.</p><p>If you can get Amazon to pay attention - "Attention must be paid," said the wife of Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's classic play "Death of a Salesman" - you will be rewarded.</p><p>When I planned my second free day, I knew I would need help. This is how I got it.</p><p>First, I found a list of blogs that announce free <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> books. Some are free, others charge a small fee.</p><p>My Twitter following was only about 500, so I hired Book Tweeting Service. For a modest fee, three days before my free <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Select day they began to Tweet promos that I wrote - with their help - that included links to Amazon, of course, and hashtags, such as #FREE #BOOK and #<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, etc.</p><p>I also purchased a "free alert" from Orangeberry Virtual Book Tours. They Tweeted my message all day long. Dedication is worth paying for.</p><p>I re-tweeted (RT) all the above Tweets as I saw them, and added replies and thank yous with my link.</p><p>I remained engaged online from 7 AM to 10 PM on the free day, with breaks, of course, and created new tweets as needed, which BTS and Orangeberry kindly RT'd.</p><p>Also, since I could tell I was doing fairly well in the United Kingdom, as their 24-hour free day was coming to a close, I featured tweets that reminded those readers to "get it quick." Afterwards, I concentrated only on the United States.</p><p>How much did all the help cost? $180.98. In the hours following the free day, a trickle of sales -- readers who missed the free day? -- quickly returned $54. More sales will follow, so the outlay is a no-brainer.</p><p><strong>MORE TIPS FOR <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">KINDLE</a> EBOOK RANK</strong></p><p>Since I created the short links for my Tweets at bit.ly, that site's statistics told me which link was most popular. Naturally, I kept pushing that link.</p><p>Also, the music theme of my book provided an obvious audience. So before the free <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Select day, I grew my Twitter account by engaging that niche and a couple others. In short, authors must define their audience - and then engage them.</p><p>By the way, throughout the day I met some wonderful people who showed an interest in my project, so I was more than happy to RT their announcements and ideas. A sense of community and sharing developed, and it was very nice. I don't care to compete with other writers. It is better to encourage them.</p><p>Another thing to keep in mind is that you need to inform book lovers of their options. For example, I wrote blog posts that revealed a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> device is not needed to get a free copy of a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> ebook: Just download free <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> software. In the posts, I advised readers to Google "Free <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>" for apps and other information. And I provided links for PC and Mac users. Make it easy.</p><p>But what about sales? Some authors merely post their book and it takes off. Why? I don't know. Karma? Or maybe their book falls into a very clear genre. Millions of others get nowhere, and this is particularly true of non-genre fiction. Suffice it to say, if you want your beautiful book or article to get some attention, you must get in front of it and promote! Don't be shy.</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Select free days - if well managed - can get you some attention. As you improve your rank, Amazon begins including your title in simple promotions with other titles. This adds fuel to the fire. But...</p><p>As I said before, my rank will drop until I find new ways of engaging my readers and audience. The ups and downs are like an ocean tide: forward movement, retreat; forward movement... and so on. In other words, marketing never stops.</p><p>But that's okay, because wishing and hoping rarely works. And it is exciting to your book rise and shine.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Douglas Glenn Clark is the author of The Memory Songbook.

It's really between Amazon's 3rd generation <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX vs Nook reader from Barnes & Noble - a natural product rivalry with Amazon staring out as the world's first online bookstore beating the world's largest traditional bookstore Barnes & Noble to cyberspace leadership.</p><p>But as they say, it's often just a matter of time for the competition to gain parity and keep up. Barnes & Noble did that with its online presence and with and strong answer to Amazon's e-reader, though 2 years late. But <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> remains the clear market leader with the Nook threatening its position.</p><p>It can be difficult choosing between the latest generation these two readers, both enjoying decidedly a growing market following with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> having the edge. And if you don't have your priorities spelled out, the decision can be a bit agonizing. But if you do, it can be easy.</p><p>While both readers sport the same e-paper display technology, the Barnes & Noble reader has a 3.5-inch color LCD display contiguous with it under the e-display for navigating through content. That can be an edge if you've been used to touchscreen smartphones. But if you like QWERTY keyboard on your smartphone, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>DX has to be your choice.</p><p>Screen display area looks deceptively similar but the Nook3G takes up the lower bottom with the touchscreen LCD leaving only a page display of 600 x 800 resolution while that on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>-DX offers a larger 825 x 1200 resolution. If you want a larger page display, the choice is clear.</p><p>Weight can be a deciding factor. The 18.9 oz from Amazon is sure to tire your wrist holding it up to read much earlier that will the 12.1 oz from B&N.</p><p>The one made edge of the Amazon eBook reader is its Text-to-Speech feature which allows the book to be read out loud. While it makes reading a listening chore, the feature has its practical advantage as it allows you to do some emergencies without missing a beat on what you're reading. It's also a helpful feature for kids learning to pronounce words, foreigner learning the language and even the blind getting book content. That's what you won't get in the contender.</p><p>Amazon's Store boasts a library of 725,000 books. B&N has thrice that number. So if the wealth of titles is a priority to you, the world's largest bookstore can't disappoint and the Nook takes advantage of that.</p><p>The DX only has 3G connectivity while the Nook-3G has it plus WiFi. Both offer their data connectivity free with the Amazon's Whispernet and the AT&T network. This feature may not matter to people who don't bother with hotspots.</p><p>While the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>-DX has twice the onboard memory at 4GB, the Nook has microSD support for up to 16GB. If the 3,500 eBook titles that can be stored on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX won't be enough for you, then the Nook has to be your choice.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Next, go to my <a target="_new" href="http://www.kindledxd00801.com/">Amazon Kindle DX</a> blog and you will find the complete review and you will also get tips about how to find the best deals right now. There is also more information about the Nook reader.</p><p>If you find the smaller version of Kindle more attractive you should check out <a target="_new" href="http://www.d00701ebookreader.com/">Kindle 3G Ebook Reader</a>.</p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-84751282512726134322012-07-26T15:26:00.000-07:002012-07-26T15:26:00.367-07:00Is Kindle 2's E-Screen Pleasing?<br /> <p>In designing their electronic reader, Amazon wanted to get readers lost in reading, not in technology. They have accomplished this goal with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2. It uses the same kind of ink you find in books, only it displays the ink electronically. You can literally tan yourself on the beach and read a mystery on your electronic device at the same time. Amazon says the device uses 16 different shades of gray, which portrays visual nuance for your brain.</p><p>If you wear glasses, contacts, bifocals you are in for a treat. Everyone who has any kind of impaired vision rave about the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>'s improvement over the earlier version. Simply put, the screen is easier on the eyes and allows you to read for a long time without much straining your organs.</p><p>One thing that you can't do with a book is change the font size. This is a benefit of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 that readers with poor eyesight will appreciate greatly. There are six different font sizes to choose from and it is easy to change. You will probably find the size you like and just stick with it for everything you read. But having this ability is revolutionary!</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 will show much more than just Microsoft Word documents this time around. On your screen, you can view PDF, TXT, HTML, JPEG, GIF, MOBI, and other kinds of documents. One anecdote, the PDF title screen is full of depth unlike similar devices which seem to strip it down to simple text. Sure, the visuals are not the same quality you find on your PC, but they are the quality you found on your PC a few years ago. If you plan on doing a lot of PDF reading, you should look into the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX, which has a native PDF reader whereas the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 requires conversion at the computer.</p><p>The screen is better than anything on the market and a major improvement over its predecessor. It's more like reading a paperback book than it's like reading a tech device. At least it is the closest to a book you can experience today.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Brian Gabriel shows consumers how to use technology to save time and money.

There is no wireless setup with the new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">kindle</a>, some others require a wireless setup, the free 3G connection uses the wireless signal that cell phones use with no fees attached.

It can't get any easier then that.</p><p>It is a great gadget to have while traveling as it does not require a Wi-Fi hot spot to download books and has wireless coverage almost everywhere you travel.</p><p>This new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is definitely the way to go.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Finally, the Kindle makes a great gift.

Even the humble newspaper is transformed into pixels onscreen as more and more book lovers embrace the new eBook reading devices while their beloved paper editions gather dust on the shelves.</p><p>Considered the king of eBook readers (and certainly the most widely known since Oprah endorsed it on her show last year) is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> from Amazon. And now the third generation 'new' <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is here looking much slimmer and sleeker than it's predecessors.</p><p>The new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> (or the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 3 as many people are now calling it) has a improved e-ink screen, is lighter, comes in a choice of the standard white or new graphite (dark grey) color and now can hold up to 3,500 books - which is double the capacity that the 2nd generation versions had.</p><p><strong>So why would you want one?</strong></p><p>If you haven't used an eBook reading device yet, then you probably don't understand what the fuss is all about - after all it's just a screen and doesn't have the same feel as a real book with paper does right? Well while it might not have the same feel and smell as paper, many people agree that reading from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is very much like looking at the page from a book because of how it is displayed using special e-ink technology.</p><p>But the real advantage is the amount of books it can hold. You can take your entire library of books with you and always have it on hand. Imagine relaxing on the beach and finishing one novel, and then downloading the sequel then and there (downloading books using the built in Wi-Fi takes less than a minute) without leaving your deck chair.</p><p>Plus it's much lighter than carrying around tons of books at only 8.5 ounces and slim enough to pop into your handbag when you are done. (If you are going to carry it around in your handbag though I suggest getting a cover to protect it from bumping against your cell phone and getting scratched - or is that just me?)</p><p>And of course I've left the best feature until last. It's cheaper! Yes indeed, the new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>'s are now under $200 which compared to the earlier versions which were nearly a hundred dollars more it's now becoming more affordable for the everyday reader to own one.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p><a target="_new" href="http://ebook-reader-blog.com/ipad-kindle-or-sony-touch-book-reader-for-ebooks/">Compare the Kindle</a> with the iPad or Sony Touch, or just find out everything you want to know about the <a target="_new" href="http://ebook-reader-blog.com/">third generation Amazon Kindle</a> at the ebook reader blog.</p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-3551294155622224412012-07-26T04:52:00.000-07:002012-07-26T04:52:01.010-07:00iPad Vs Kindle - Let the Fight Begin<br /> <p>When word about the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> first began circulating, before the product was even released, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> started shaking in its sleek casing. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> vs <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>. Amazon vs Apple. Jeff Bezos vs Steve Jobs. No one would have put these pairings in a boxing ring a while ago but the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> changed everything. Considering neither is cheap, if you're thinking about buying either you need to know which one is the best for you.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> is like a big ol' iPhone and mini library in one lovely design. It's basically a computer with less storage room. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> cannot browse the web as extensively, check e-mail or watch videos. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> can. Because why would Mr. Jobs settle for anything less.</p><p>There are three reasons not to buy the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>-price, size and battery life. But if it was a good week at the office, you're a true "bigger is better" American and see outlets everywhere then there's no reason to get anything but the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>. However, the group of people who can relate to the previous statement are few. The rest of us probably need to settle for a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. While it's not like settling for a book hand-written by monks, you will look at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> owners with envy.</p><p>However, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> owner may envy you because you have free 3G, no glare on your screen and an extra 240 bucks in your pocket. Oh, but look at the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>'s touch screen. It's color too! There's just no winning. We can't say get X because X is just absolutely superior to Y and you're an idiot to even consider buying Y. It comes down to personal priorities.</p><p>If you want to spend as little as possible and really just want to be able to have thousands of books at your fingertips anytime, anywhere then go <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>If you have the money to spare (including the monthly Internet fee), it's probably worth getting the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> over <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> and all other e-readers. And for right now it's definitely worth buying the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> over any e-reader costing over $400.</p><p>Our best bet? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> owners will be happier in the long run. With <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, what you buy is what you have.

Maybe a cheaper, nicer design will come out but the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a> you have today will be just as good (look at the iPhone).

These choices are the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX and the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> with Global Wireless.</p><p>Each of these devices has it's strengths and which one you should choose really depends on what your own needs are (or the needs of the person you're buying it for, if it's a gift.)</p><p>Most obviously if you live outside of the United States, the Global <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is your only choice because the DX only works within the US, while the global version (as it's name implies) works in countries all over the world.</p><p>If you live inside the US then the choice comes down to saving money by buying the global wireless version or getting the expanded size (both as far as display goes and the amount of hard drive space it has) that the DX version offers.</p><p>The global version is just six inches diagonally while the DX version is 9.7 inches. The global version can hold up to about 1,500 books while the DX version can hold about 3,500 books.</p><p>Along with the expanded size, another advantage that the larger <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> can offer is an auto-rotation screen. For example if you flip the device on it's side, the text on the screen will automatically flip too so that you can read it that way. This can be quite helpful with looking at certain types of material (such as some pictures.)</p><p>Other than the differences in size and where the wireless functions, these two devices are very similar and they both have all of the following features:</p><p><br />Access to over 360,000 books, magazines, and newspapers on the Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> Store.<br /> Ability to download any book, magazine, or newspaper in just 60 seconds.<br /> Very long battery life. Can be used for days without a recharge.<br /> No monthly wireless charges (similar to a GPS system.)<br /> A "paper like" screen that is easy on the eyes.<br /> "Read to Me" feature which turns all of your books into audio books.<br /> Built-in dictionary. <br /> Wireless access to Wikipedia and a basic web browser. <br /></p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p><a target="_new" href="http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com/KindleDX.html">Kindle DX Review</a></p><p><a target="_new" href="http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com/KindleWithGlobalWireless.html">Global Kindle Review</a></p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-60963826644949691442012-07-25T20:31:00.000-07:002012-07-25T20:31:00.585-07:00Discounted Kindle Books Going For Around One Dollar<br /> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is a device people use for reading. It is wireless and can be carried around wherever you go. The device can hold over 200 titles including over 400,000 books. Not only can it hold books but other things can be stored into it such as blogs and magazines. With it being wireless people do not have to worry about tripping over any of the cables and can take it around wherever they go. On long trips <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> is great because it can entertain someone or even help out teenagers with homework.</p><p>There are a lot of books now that have been turned into books so people can download them. One of those books include "To Have And To Hold". This is a romance book that can make you sigh at the end. It is about a woman who decides to marry someone but later things happen and then she starts doubting her decision.</p><p>Not only can you find romance books on line but you can also find a variety of history books. A Winter Tour In South Africa is a wonderful book that talks about the development of the Colonies with the British Empire and how their condition has changed over the past decades.</p><p>When buying books in stores the price can be very high and some might find themselves spending over twenty dollars on a book but with e Books you can get them at awesome prices and there are some e books you can for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> that is not only at great prices but there are lots of discounted <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> books on line people can get and pay only around one to two dollars for so they would save a lot more then actually getting the book in a store.</p><p>It can be really hard sometimes knowing what kind of gift to give someone and more so a teenager. A lot of teenager's really enjoy reading a good book but might not like carrying it around with them all of the time but with a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> they can carry lots of books with them at once and just put it in their pocket or locker at school. When a student has to do a lot of essay's or papers and needs books <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> can be just right for them and that is why it would make a great gift for someone or even a child that likes to read and has a computer.</p><p>After getting a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> you can browse and help them find some really awesome books for their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> at discounted prices or you can get some for yourself.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Kari has been writing about eBooks for a few years and has an intimate knowledge about eBooks for kindle.</p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-2749437223184401832012-07-25T15:32:00.000-07:002012-07-25T15:32:00.404-07:00The Amazon Kindle 3G Vs the Barnes & Noble Nook - Who Will Win the Holiday Shopping War?<br /> <p>If you have been considering an e-book reader for yourself or as a gift, the choice between the Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 3G with Wi-Fi and the Barnes & Noble Nook will be a tough one. The reviews show that both products are terrific e-Readers but it is the differences and your personal preferences that will make your decision. Priced at $189 for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 3G and $199 for the Nook your decision will be based on your choice of features.</p><p>Both units have 6 inch diagonal E-Ink electronic displays, with 600 x 800 pixel resolution. The weights are comparable, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> at 10.2 ounces and the Nook at 12.1 ounce. And the actual unit sizes are 8″ x 5.3 for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> and 7.7″ x 4.9 for the Nook. Both have an internal memory of 2GB but the Nook has an expandable micro SD slot which would only be necessary if you think you need to store more than the 1,500 books that the 2GB will hold.</p><p>Battery life is also similar, 10 days or 7,500 page turns, with the wireless off. And both completely recharge between 3.5 and 4 hours. Both units can be used as an MP3 player, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> with built in stereo speakers and the Nook with built-in mono speakers. Both also have headphone jacks.</p><p>Here is where your preferences will make the difference. The Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> has a keyboard at the bottom, it does not display in color but has a 16-level gray-scale that does a great job with images. The Barnes & Noble Nook has a color touch screen at the bottom. So do you prefer typing on a keyboard or touch screen?</p><p>And here is the big one - the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 3G with Wi-Fi uses Amazon's Whispernet through Sprint's 3G high-speed data network for U.S. wireless coverage. No charge involved. And there is expanded coverage available if you are traveling internationally. The Nook has free wireless via AT&T, and free Wi-Fi in all Barnes & Noble stores. If you intend on down loading books while traveling service from these providers would have to be available.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> has an additional feature, Text-to-Speech. You can switch from reading a book to listening to it with the audio book reader. You can enlarge the print with both units. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>'s screen is less reflective than the other e-book readers which eliminates the problems that reading off a screen in the sunshine can create. The Nook's screen is ranked better than most of the competitors but not better than the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. Where will you be reading?</p><p>So here we are. What are your preferences? What type of keyboard, and whose wireless carrier do you prefer. Both the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 3G and the Nook e-Book readers have great reviews and thousands of books available. Good luck with your choices and happy shopping.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>To see more of my reviews and suggestions for holiday gifts please visit: <a target="_new" href="http://expectthedream.blogspot.com">http://expectthedream.blogspot.com</a></p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-21476788544676185542012-07-25T11:59:00.000-07:002012-07-25T11:59:00.654-07:00Kindle 2 - It Can Only Get Better<br /> <p>Every single day technology keeps advancing and in each stage we see an exponential change in the way people interact with technology. The effect technology has over the world of gizmos and gadgets, is exemplary. Same is the case of Amazon's electronic book reader <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 is better than the original <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> in many ways. Read on to get to know <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 before you buy one.</p><p>The most interesting feature of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 is its soothing screen. It gives you the feel of reading a real book. The E ink display technology brought here by Amazon is simply outstanding. There is absolutely no illumination while reading and it consumes power only while flipping pages. It is quite a different experience from the annoying and straining computer screen.</p><p>The second feature to look for in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 is the text to speech technology embedded in it. It reads out your favorite book, blog newspaper and magazines when you are not able or willing to read them. This feature is useful when it gets dark or while traveling in a train where there is no proper place to sit and read. It also has an option of a female or a male voice. There are some intricacies involved when it comes to pronunciation.</p><p>The next thing is the durability and fragility. Many have said that the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 is very fragile but the decision of fragility depends on the person who uses it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 is pretty sturdy and not so fragile but at the same time nothing is as durable as a book.</p><p>The simplicity <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 presents is excellent. You do not need a manual or any kind of documentation for operating it. Unpack the box and start using it right away. The battery back-up this gadget gives is absolutely stunning.</p><p>The only one thing where <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2 can lose out is its price. This little gizmo is overpriced at $259. You can purchase e-books online through Amazon itself and this adds to the cost factor. Taking into account all the factors, Amazon is going to rule the e-reader market for a while now with its release of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> 2. The bottom line is nothing can replace reading from a hard bound book not even technology.</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Good Ereader is company specializing in selling Electronic readers. Visit its <a target="_new" href="http://goodereader.com">Kindle DX</a> Store to know more. A lot of information is available in the <a target="_new" href="http://goodereader.com/blog/">E-reader blog</a>.

While books are great and it's nice to have a bookshelf lined with all your favorite titles, the fact of the matter is that books add clutter to your house and can take up a lot of room. They are difficult to move when you buy a new house as they are heavy and require a number of boxes to fit them all in. With the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, you remove all these problems as all of your books are stored in digital form.

When you go on trips, you often want to bring several books so you have something to read in the car, on the beach, and anywhere you might find yourself. However, it often seems silly to pack a set of books and to have to sacrifice more suitcase space for the books. With the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>, all those books can be found in the device and so, it's easier to bring a number of books with you on your vacation.

It also allows you to take notes, so you can mark points to remember what they said or to add your analysis for any papers you might have to write. It's hard to imagine, but the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> makes reading a better experience.</p><p>These are just a few ways in which the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> improves upon the reading experience.

It is no longer a trend to carry books or novels with you for travelling because they are bulky. Furthermore, an average person can finish a novel in three days, and he needs to find a new book to read after that. With e-book readers, a user can store up to 3500 equivalent books inside a small lightweight portable device. How convenient is that?</p><p>Introducing the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX, the next generation of the Amazon e-book reader series codenamed <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. Improving from the original <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> First Generation, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX now boasts a sleek black exterior. It has a new, high contrast E-Ink screen that has a 50% better contrast and a larger dimension of 9.7". What makes the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX a step ahead of other e-books is the screen. The screen does not reflect the glare of sunlight or other strong intensity light sources, making it easy for the user to read anywhere. With a long battery life of up to 1 week, you can be sure this is your good companion on travels!</p><p>There is a need to get the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> DX because Amazon is already deciding to shift more emphasis towards e-books due to its convenience. There is no need to worry about shipping or delays in delivery, and the user can obtain his newly-acquired book within minutes from payment at any place with Internet access. Such a revolution will only promise that reading will become more than just a pastime hobby. It will become a phenomenon that will take the world by storm!</p><p>Amazon is placing its reputation in its own original product, so be sure that it has met the highest standards of quality and reliability. With an affordable price and ubiquitous access to the Amazon site, you can be sure that you are connected to Amazon all the time!</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>If you are still deciding between the Amazon Kindle DX [http://www.theamazonkindledx.com] or the Apple iPad for your needs, read our honest Kindle DX [http://www.theamazonkindledx.com] review first to help you!</p> <br /><br /> <br /> <p>faiz ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738112841238526962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783137828268141701.post-6731844311275170432012-07-25T00:50:00.000-07:002012-07-25T00:50:00.131-07:00Three Unfortunate Misconceptions About Kindle Ebook Publishing<br /> <p>Take a look around you the next time you visit a quiet beach, and I'm sure you'll see that besides the men and women who have plopped themselves down with a paperback novel under the shade of an umbrella, numerous others are reading material on their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. Amazon has sold millions of these devices in the last few years, to the point that mainstream consumers who aren't particularly gadget lovers are using them.</p><p>In many cases, those <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> users are reading books that also are on sale in bookstores and available for borrowing in libraries. But did you know that thousands of authors and entrepreneurs are now earning extra money and in a few cases a very good living writing content specifically to be sold for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>?</p><p>I've identified three misconceptions that keep some writers and experts from pursuing this exciting new entrepreneurial opportunity.</p><p>Misconception #1: You need a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> ereader to get involved in publishing for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>In fact, you don't need a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> device either to read works published for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> or to publish them. Amazon provides free tools for reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> ebooks on your PC, Mac, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=nb_sb_noss?_encoding=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=tablet&url=search-alias%3Delectronics#/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aandroid+tablet&keywords=android+tablet&ie=UTF8&qid=1324451793">iPad</a>, iPhone or other smartphone. Amazon also provides everything you need for publishing your works for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> without owning a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> yourself.</p><p>I don't own a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. I much prefer reading traditional books. However, I have painlessly published 19 ebooks for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>. You can, too.</p><p>Misconception #2: You need to write a full-length book to get involved in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> publishing.</p><p>This is also not true. Although six of my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> ebooks are digital versions of previously published paperback books, the other 13 are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> originals and only a fraction of their length. The shortest is just a little over 5,000 words. It prints out off my computer at 17 pages.</p><p>As long as you alert potential buyers to the shorter length of your compact eBook and price it accordingly, you can earn money from selling short reports on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>Misconception #3: You need to be a technical whiz to format a manuscript for publication on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a>.</p><p>This used to be difficult. Amazon has now simplified the process by allowing properly formatted "doc" files to be uploaded for conversion to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> format. Amazon performs the conversion, and you can check in their online previewer to see if the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> version looks the way you intended it.</p><p>Now, if you can manage formatting a Word file according to easy-to-follow instructions, you can upload your work to the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> store without struggling with software or paying for technical help. Smashwords offers an excellent free style guide to preparing your manuscript for uploading to Amazon. Look for it in the left column of their home page.</p><p>If you enjoy writing, if you have files and files of useful content, if you have reports that are no longer selling from your website but could be easily updated, if you gave up on finding a traditional publisher for a manuscript you still love - these are all great reasons to look into <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=kindle&x=0&y=0">Kindle</a> publishing now. Chances are, any excuses you still have not to do it also involve misconceptions!</p> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>The author of 16 books and nine multimedia home study courses, Marcia Yudkin has been selling information in one form or another since 1981.
