Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged in a while. LONG while! I need to really get on this and just blog my little heart out! And share whatever I the Lord has me sharing with you. So, I have been reading a lot lately. I mean a lot! It's great! Because I LOVE to read! Well, since I got myself the amazon Kindle, I'm seriously thinking this is the BEST investment I have ever spend my hard working money on! I mean, don't know if you guys are familiar with the Kindle. First of all, I have LOTS of books, and not enough room for all of them. So, I would either stack them on the floor, or put them in another book shelf in the living room. (which I don't like, I like MY books in MY room with me) but with the Kindle, I can download up to 1,500 books with this little device!! I know!! amazing huh?! Don't you just love technology? Someone once said “Print is dead”. They just may be right. With today’s technologies and wireless networks, you no longer have to own a printed book in order to read it. E-books are a good way to enjoy reading while not having to worry about owning several boxes full of books. The Kindle is compact and lightweight so it is easy to handle. Just think of it as a conveniently portable television for your books. You can even download magazines, newspapers, and blogs! Okay, so you are probably asking yourself, "wow! this is to good to be true, right?" It's NOT! For instance, a book on the latest New York Times bestsellers list can be purchased for $10.(or more!) Other titles will cost you around $1.99, which is significantly cheaper than a printed book, even in paperback. Books that are public domain can be downloaded for free. Since, I purchase books from Borders or Amazon.com those books tend to get expensive over time, but with Kindle they are at least 30 to 40% cheaper! So, in the long run I will be able to save money as well as space on the purchase of books. Okay, seriously I am NOT getting paid by amazon for the kudos I just gave the Kindle. I just really, really, like it! And I wanted to share with all of you. And if you are an avid reader and are running out of room to keep all your books. Then maybe, just maybe the kindle is good for you. When It first came out last year, it was expensive so I waited. Now it's $259. Not bad for all the money I am saving on the books. And like I mention, they have a lot of FREE books and the other books, if you are interesting in buying them then you can sample them for free like 2 or 3 chapters. Totally works if you are not sure you would like this book or not. Okay, so that is enough of my nerd talk =) and now off to to some reading! I will be posting some of my ALL time favorite books on here, I just have to make it a good top 10 list, but it's kinda hard when I have like a top 500+list!
ok question.. What if you want to lend a book to someone, do you give them the kindle?
ReplyDeleteOk what if you want to highlight something is there a feature?
How long is the book stored for?
And lets say you hit the limit, I know crazy but if you do, do you need to buy another one?
Can you hook the kindle to a printer to print a page?
Im just asking.. it looks cool.. bring it to church next week so I can see it.
Good questions girl! Yes, you can lend a book out to others that have a kindle. And the Kindle can be downloaded for free from amazon.com to your pc, your blackberry or itouch or iphone. So like I have it on my blackberry and the books I have on my Kindle, I can read them or transfer them over to the blackberry. It's pretty cool. And the any book that is stored for as long as you want it or delete it. Or you can store it on your archived list. And it holds up to 1,500 books, so it does not a removable memory that you can add more to it. So I guess if you us it all up you can just delete stuff on it and have room. I never heard about anyone printing a page out of it...but I know you can. Especially because you can have it on your pc. Oh and yes, you can bookmark a page that you like and are reading and you can highlight and make notes on it also. You can also go on the web on it. It is basic web. Because it does not have flash on it. So like web pages that you basically read on...like google and wikipedia (which is free) you can get on it! and like mobile pages of facebook and twitter. I will bring it next wk so you can check it out =)
