Q. I am planning to buy a kindle, and I am debating over these two, but I dont really understand it....
I dont really need to go online and I have okay eyesight. Im mostly going to be listening to audiobooks and reading real books on it.
I have never owned an ereader before and am very eager to get one.
could I please get some feedback from someone who really has these ereaders?
Thanks!
A. The Kindle product line now involves the following choices:
1. E Ink vs LCD display
Choose E Ink (Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard) if long-run reading is your priority; choose LCD (Kindle Fire) if apps/games/video/web-browsing is your priority. E Ink displays ebooks just like paper-based ebooks, using ambient light; LCD displays ebooks just like computer monitors, using back lighting. On the other hand, E Ink is only black-and-white and is too slow for video. LCD does great with those non-reading applications. Further, Kindle Fire has a sophisticated web browser, Silk, which leverages local and cloud storage and processing dynamically, thereby providing high-performance web browsing.
2. 5-way controller vs multi-touch vs keyboard
Choose 5-way to save money (base Kindle is only $79), multi-touch for easy-of-use, and keyboard for ease-of-typing.
3. WiFi vs WiFi+3G
Choose WiFi+3G if you wish to download ebooks or browse the web when away from a WiFi hotspot. An ereader with 3G support will be able to connect like a cell phone. Unlike a cell phone, however, there is no monthly fee for Kindle's 3G service. Note, though, that the web browser on Kindle isn't so great. Also, once an ebook is downloaded, neither WiFi nor 3G is needed to read it.
4. With Special Offers vs Without Special Offers
Kindle With Special Offers (WSO) Pros:
* $25 (WiFi) or $50 (3G) less expensive.
* May save more if special offers turn out to be useful to you.
* Ads do not show up in the middle of reading an ebook.
* I've heard only praise from those who buy Kindle WSO.
Kindle With Special Offers Cons:
* May just dislike ads in principle, even outside of reading experience.
How to get flash on kindle fire?
Q. I got the kindle fire on 2/3/13. I'm not sure which generation it is, but it's 8gb (if that helps at all). The only reason why I got it is because of my textbooks for school. Before you guys start telling me that I should've gotten another tablet, let me just tell you that I wanted the cheapest ereader out there. I am a college student and have other expenses to worry about. I am unable to download my textbooks because of flash. And I see no option to enable flash. What am I doing wrong?
A. The Kindle Fire is good choice, it's of reasonable price and you can do basically anything on it.
Your device should be the Kindle Fire 2nd generation. It's newly released by the end of last year. Since Adobe is abandoning Flash, all new tablets no longer come with Flash. You can still sideload Flash to the Kindle Fire, however. Here you can find the details:

One more thing is that it's actually more convenient to get stuffs from Amazon through your computer. It's larger screen on the computer so it's easier to look at reviews or to look into different products. On your computer, just get digital content (like Kindle books, video, music, apps, etc) for your Kindle Fire to your Amazon account. Those digital content will then appear automatically on your Kindle Fire (as it's also registered to the same account).
Hope that helps.
What are some other electonic reading devices other that the popular Kindle and the one Sony offers?
Q. Was trying to dig up some info on the what was available out there in the way of electronic reading devices, other than the Sony or Amazon's Kindle. Would like to find a unit that would allow me to utilize ebooks I already own along with new purchases. Not too thrilled by the fact that Kindle has done away with the external memory option and does not use standard wireless. Also most reviews I find on the Sony unit complain about screen glare. What are my other options if any?
A. Some more ebook readers include:
Cybook
BeBook
EZ Reader
iRex
Cool-er
Not all Sonys have a touchscreen that causes glare. Some people are bothered by the reflection and others are not. It's nothing compared to the screens on phones, computers, and tvs.
You can research them all here and watch video demos of them in action:
