Jailbreak or Root Your Ereader and Turn It Into Something Else Entirely
Full size
If you want to get a few more features from your ereader then it's time to root or jailbreak it. The process is incredibly easy on a Kindle and once you're done you can add a few great apps to it to add even more functionality. You can do a lot more with an ereader than just read books and with a little effort you can turn it into a powerful little media consumption machine.

Original Question

Is the Kindle Fire worth the upgrade?
Q. I got a regular Kindle last Christmas. I really do love it. Seeing the new Kindle Fire, makes me wonder if its worth the upgrade. What are the differences between regular kindle, and kindle fire? I'm interested hearing from people who have had both and if they prefer one over the other. However all opinions are welcome. Also, I know the Ipad can do the same things so I'm trying to decide what if anything I might consider buying this year. Thanks for all your input!

A. i own the regular kindle. the battery on a full charge last 14 days. the kindle fire charge will last about 8-10 hrs. if u need color to read ur ebooks, then get the kindle fire. if u dont need it. stick with ur reg kindle.

Original Question

Is the Amazon Kindle worth it? Honest answers only please?
Q. I'm thinking about purchasing one. Is it worth it? The one for $114? Also, is it the kindle 3?

A. Some cons: the Kindle is a black and white only and it doesn't have a backlight. I still find the placement of the keys very inconvenient--if you are sitting nicely in a chair things are good but if you're trying to read in bed or on laid out on the sofa, etc., you're inevitably going to hit some other key(s) and will waste time trying to find your place again. I have found the way the Kindle keeps track of where you are (perhaps by the word rather than the actual page number) to be cumbersome--since I read the same book from 2 different Kindles (one is gen 2, the other is gen 3) and also on my computer, finding where I left off on the various machines is impossible (was it 40165 or 41563)--but I hear Kindle/Amazon is fixing this in the next generation (maybe the next upgrade). I also don't like the way that the books don't start on the front cover, they open automatically to the first page of text so you skip over the cover, that page where the copyright info is, maps, other stuff I liked to see before I get to the text. A big con is that the price of Kindle books seems to be increasing so for some books you are only paying $1 less then the hardcover version. Kindle books seem to go through a conversion process where they need to be cleaned up a bit and with almost every book I've found someone didn't clean up as well as they ought to have; and I've read some reviews where the writer says the conversion is done in such a lousy manner it's not worth trying to read the Kindle-ized book. Not all books are available in Kindle format either. Amazon offers some free books but not enough; a friend who bought an e-reader from somewhere else (not a Kindle or iPad) says she can download any book in the library for free (hopefully it's not one of those libraries that is deciding which books to ban).

Some PROs: I love my Kindles. I can take it with me and have that secure feeling knowing you at least have something to keep yourself amused should things get boring wherever you are (delays on the commuter train now only mean I have more time to read--who cares about work?). I tried playing a few of the simple games (Minesweeper, some word game) but find it just too hard to play as fast as I normal would with the Kindle keyboard. I love not having to deal with "what do I do with the book after I've read it and don't want to keep it?" question. I love that you can increase the size of the font. And although I have never liked things being read out loud to me, as I get older and my vision gets worse, that audio read out thing might come in handy. Supposedly you can do very limited web searches but I haven't figure out how and I do not want my battery used up doing web searches. If I remember to turn off the wireless feature after downloading, I usually only have to recharge my Kindles about once a week and it takes less then an hour to fully charge each of them. I don't find ANY of the available reading lights designed for the Kindles usable. And compared to friends who got an iPad (which is backlit and in color), their iPads are only good for maybe 5 hours max before they have to recharge, the screen on the iPad gets a LOT of glare so it's impossible to use in bright sunlight or strong overhead light. I'm also getting tired of those pictures of authors on my Kindle when it is off (aren't they costing me battery juice?).

For the price, it was well worth it for me to get a couple Kindles. You might want to do some research to see when Amazon intends to upgrade next (no use buying a gen 3 of the 4 will be out in a matter of weeks) and what the upgrades will be--color perhaps?
