Q. I want a new regular kindle, not a kindle fire, not a kindle touch, a new regular kindle. How much is that?
A. Kindle 4------$79 w/ special offers, $109 w/out special offers.
Kindle Keyboard 3G-----$139 w/special offers, $189 w/out special offers.
I don't see why you don't want a kindle touch. They're pretty awesome. Though if you insist on not getting a touch screen that leaves you with the kindle 4 and the kindle keyboard (previously known as the kindle 3). The big difference is that the kindle keyboard has a physical qwerty keyboard and the kindle 4 has an onscreen one that you control with the 5 way controller and it is in alphabetical order. I've found that the kindle keyboard has better screen contrast, so that the whites are whiter so that the fonts are crisper. It also helps that body is black rather than a gray so its easier to read.
The Kindle 4 can connect to wifi only and that is how you would download books, but the kindle keyboard has built in free 3g so you can use it's browser or buy and download books anyplace you go and the 3g is completly free.
Just explore a little more and look around. I'll give the amazon website for this below, but the kindles have working models available at walmart, bestbuy, and target.
what is the Amazon Kindle?
Q. I would like to by an ebook reader is the Kindle any good, and which kindle is the best one to buy?
A. Kindle is Amazon's ereader. 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. Five-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.
Biology Books for Kindle?
Q. Are there any biology reference books for the kindle, where you can search a word and get its clear definition. Kind of like searching in the dictionary in the kindle.
A. Hi, hasan, neither Nook nor Kindle handles eTextbooks well however Barnes and Noble has something for a regular PC or MAC including a laptop or a desktop. An eTextbook is a digital, downloadable, version of a physical textbook. It can be read on your PC and Mac with B&N's free NOOKstudy application. An eTextbook will look exactly like the physical version so you will see the same graphs, charts, drawings etc. The best part is that you can read your eTextbook anywhere that you bring your computer without needing the internet! And, you have the option to purchase or rent it depending on your needs.
In terms of Nook vs. Kindle for everything else, the only models I would take into consideration are Nook Simpletouch from Barnes & Noble and the new Kindle Touch (non-ad-supported) that both cost $139. Ad-supported Kindle models show full page ads to you (and everyone around you) every time they go to sleep mode and also show 2 line ads right there at your home screen - so annoying that Amazon even released a software that for $30 can convert ad-supported Kindle into non-ad-supported one. Non-touch screen Kindle models are such basic stone age devices (with page turn lag, buttons, and black blinks/flashes on each page turn) that I would not even speak about them. Nook (unlike Kindle) supports eBooks in ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world. Current e-Ink Nook Simpletouch has the latest generation touch screen display, no page turn lag, it weights less, its battery lasts twice as long (two months on one charge), it has microSD slot and it doesn't blink on each page turn - much better than current Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard. Nook Touch is still better designed than even the new Kindle Touch with battery lasting two months with ONE hour reading a day with Wi-Fi off thus it's still twice as long as new Kindle's two months with HALF and hour a day with Wi-Fi off. It looks like Kindle didn't get any battery improvement in the new model, they only changed the test condition. More, Kindle Touch still flashes black on each page turn while Nook Touch reduces the flashing by 80%. Nook Touch and Nook Color (unlike Kindle) have microSD card slot to take a card (class 6 or above) up to 32 GB. If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, youâre allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi.
Also, no point in getting 3G Kindle now as they limit what web sites you can access (only Amazon store and Wikipedia are allowed.)
