Our world of technology grows by leaps and bounds. Every day there is another development in the world of technology. Some of these inventions help us expedite our workloads while others enhance our world of entertainment.
The Kindle is one of those new items. Its usefulness would fall into both categories. Not only can you load your favorite novels, newspapers and magazines but you can also use it for work files.
Macintosh and Windows users can download and transfer through the USB connection Kinddle content, personal/business documents, MP3 and Audible files. When connected to your computer’s USB port Kindle will show up as a removable mass-storage device.
The necessary system requirements are as follows:
• Windows-based: Windows 2000 or later
• Macintosh: Mac OS X 10.2 or later
• USB port: You can use an available port or an attached USB hub with an available port
The Kindle has a built-in PDF Reader. Just think about the convenience of being able to unload the loose papers in your briefcase, such as case studies, manuals, financial statements, etc and put them all on your Kindle. This would allow you to take all your papers with you and read them on the go.
Another remarkable tool on the Kindle is the “Text-to-Speech” feature. This will read (in English) your newspapers, blogs, books or magazines to you. If you get tired of listening, you can switch back to reading. This is hands-free as when the Kindle is reading to you it automatically turns the pages. If you have a preference between a male or female voice you can make that choice. You can even adjust the speed at which the reader reads to you. You can use the Kindle to read your books to you if you are in your car. It is absolutely amazing all this device does!
If you are a person that finds it difficult to start your day without reading your paper you will really enjoy Kindle’s feature of having your newspapers automatically delivered wirelessly to your Kindle before they reach the news stands. Just think if you are traveling you will not have to rush out to pick up a paper. You can make your coffee in your room, or go to the restaurant for your breakfast and your paper will be waiting for you on your Kindle. Kindle has a 5-way controller allowing you to flip between articles. If you come across an article you want to save and reread later you have the option to clip and save the entire article to read it again later.
I know that when I first thought about using a Kindle I did not think it would work for me as I like to read with a highlighter and be able to make notes in the material I am reading. Kindle’s QWERTY keyboard allows you to add annotations to the text. Because it is digital you can edit, delete and export your notes. Do you ever lose your place when you are reading? This will not happen with the Kindle. It remembers where you left off and opens to the last page you read. This is a real time saver in itself!
If you enjoy audiobooks you can go to audible.com and have the option to download from an inventory of 50,000 titles for a three month trial cost of $7.95 a month. If you decide to stay with this service the cost increases to $14.95 per month after that. I personally enjoy audiobooks when I am spending long intervals working on the computer. You will never be at a loss for reading material.
Kindle has a high-resolution screen that boasts 16 shades of gray giving you sharp images and photos. What a convention way to carry your favorite photos.
The Kindle DX with a 9.7” diagonal E-link® is 10.4” 7.2” x 0.38” and will hold 3,500 books. The smaller version, the regular Kindle has a 6” diagonal E-link® and is 8” x 5.3” x 0.36” and holds 1,500 books. With this type of storage you can clearly see how it will lighten your load when traveling.
Your biggest decision is to decide whether you want to purchase the Kindle DX for $489.00 or the first Kindle that sells for $259.00.
I have included links to Amazon to learn more about the Kindle. Amazon also has a great service involving the Kindle. You can purchase and download books, etc. directly to your Kindle or to your PC. There is even a great assortment of Free Books. Be sure to check this out.
I hope that this information has been helpful to you in making a decision on purchasing a Kindle. After reviewing this information, I personally feel that it could be a great asset.
Happy reading!
