Better-Placed Buttons
Using the new Kindle is nothing like reading e-books on a laptop.You can enjoy the device anywhere you can whip out a regular book and not worry much about how you hold it.This wasn't necessarily the case with the Kindle 1.So much of its surface was covered with buttons that I never knew quite where to put my hands,and I was forever unintentionally turning pages,jumping to the menu,or triggering some other disruption.
The Kindle 2's buttons are much smaller and better placed.The ones that turn pages have been redesigned and no longer respond to a stray press on the edge of the reader.The odd scroll wheel on the original Kindle has been replaced by a more traditional five-way navigation control of the sort used on many cell phones.These changes—a cleaner look overall and half the thickness (just over a third of an inch)—add up to a far more pleasant experience.
Amazon also either left alone or improved the parts that worked well.Delivery of books,magazines,and newspapers is done over the Sprint (S) wireless broadband network and requires no user registration or extra fees.Purchases are billed to your Amazon account,and the cost of the network is built into the price.(One downside:Amazon's choice of network technology,along with content-licensing issues,limits the Kindle to the U.S.market,at least for now.) A redesigned keyboard lets you check for titles in the Kindle store,search for text in a book,or add annotations or bookmarks.
Not Perfect in Dim Light
There are things that could be done to make the Kindle even better.The E Ink display,which relies on reflected light rather than the backlight used by a computer or phone screen,is easy on the eyes,provided the lighting is good.But,as with Kindle 1,the letters are dark grey on light grey rather than black on white and thus a little hard to read in dim conditions.And too often I find that the book I want isn't available,even though Amazon offers more than 200,000 titles.(Prices range from $1 to around $15,with most books going for $10.) One last gripe,which isn't going to change:Unlike a paper book,a Kindle title can't be sold or given away when you're done with it.
Ultimately,the best market for the Kindle may be as a replacement for huge,expensive textbooks.But textbooks need a low-cost,large-format display and,especially for K-12 education,color.E Ink is working on both,but neither is likely in the near term.
i still prefer the old-fashioned pleasure of reading ink-and-paper books.But a couple of weeks with the Kindle 2 is converting me.The ability to carry a whole library in a 10-oz.package makes it a reader's treasure.
更好的位置按钮
使用新的金德勒是不一样阅读电子书籍的笔记本电脑.您可以品尝到任何地方的设备,您可以鞭子了经常图书,而无需担心很多关于您如何保持它.这是不一定的情况下与金德勒1 .如此多的其表面上覆盖着的按钮,我从来不知道在那里很把我的手,我是永远无意中谈到页,跳跃的菜单上,或引发一些混乱.
在金乐2的按钮小得多,更适合.那些打开网页已重新设计,不再回应杂散出版社的边缘读者.奇数滚轮的原始金德勒一直取而代之的是一个比较传统的五向导航控制的排序上使用的许多手机.这些变化给简洁的外观和整体的一半厚度(略超过三分之一英寸)加起来远远更为舒适的使用经验.
亚马逊还可以独自或改善了部分运作良好.提供书籍,杂志,报纸是在斯普林特(县)的无线宽带网络,无需用户登记或额外费用.购买向您亚马逊帐户,成本的网络建成的价格.(一个缺点:Amazon的选择网络技术,以及内容授权问题,限制了金德勒向美国市场,至少现在是这样.)经过重新设计的键盘可以让您检查商品的金德勒商店,寻找一本书的文字,或添加注释或书签.
不是完美的在昏暗的光线
有些事情可以做,使金乐得更加美好.电子墨水显示,依靠反射光,而不是所使用的背光的电脑或手机屏幕上,很容易对眼睛,提供了良好的照明.但正如金德勒1 ,信件是深灰色的浅灰色,而不是黑白色的,因此对一些难以阅读在昏暗的条件.往往我觉得这本书我想是不具备,尽管亚马逊提供超过200000冠军.(价格从1美元到15美元,大部分书籍会10美元.)最后一个抱怨,这是不会改变:与纸张书籍,一个金德勒标题不能出售或赠送当您完成时它.
最终,最好的市场,金乐可代替庞大,昂贵的教科书.但是,教科书需要一种低成本,大尺寸显示器,特别是对K - 12教育,颜色.E Ink公司的工作都,但也有可能在短期内.
我还是更喜欢老式的乐趣读墨水和纸张书籍.但几个星期与金德勒2转换箱.对有能力执行整个图书馆10盎司封装使其成为读者的财富.
