Amazon Kindle 4 eReader: Ready to Read

Amazon Kindle 4 eReader: Ready to Read

By: Alexandra Fistic  In: Accessories and Peripherals  Updated: Jan 25, 2012

The new trend in reading is nowadays represented by the ebook reader. And it is not hard to understand why. These small machines are capable of storing thousands of books and their reduced dimensions make them easy to carry around, therefore one can read anywhere and anytime with no effort. Aside from being able to browse from so many books, the economical aspect is worth to be taken in consideration: most of the ebook readers can support PDF files that one can easily download from the internet, so you don’t have to spend any more money on books. One of the best 6 inch ereaders available on the market is Amazon Kindle eReader, so keep reading and see if it matches your needs!

The Amazon Kindle eReader is equipped with the E Ink display, which makes the screen as easy to read as paper (and that is an important detail). Another thing that makes this ereader very popular is its size, it weights only six ounces and it is as thin as a pencil, which makes it fit very well into your pocket (and that would be also because of its six inches screen).

As one of the best ereaders that deserves respect, the Amazon Kindle eReader incorporates the Wi-Fi technology that allows the user to download an ebook in no more than sixty seconds (a more than decent time value). Its battery can last up to one mount (considering half an hour as daily reading time) and the storage capacity won’t go further that one thousand and four hundreds ebooks.

In terms of performances, the Amazon Kindle eReader will easily make it to anyone’s top five ereaders! Why, you might wonder? Because it can be used as soon as you unwrapped it out of the box, so no software is required to install (or anything as such). Another important detail is that the user can change the text font (and you are given three choices for that) or the size of the characters (from eight different sizes).

My only reproach to its producers is that it can’t text wrap PDFs so when you zoom you have to also scroll horizontally, but you can still borrow Kindle books from Amazon’s library or buy them for ten dollars per ebook (over 800.000 titles are cheaper than that).

Moneymetter

The price for the Amazon Kindle eReader is around 80 US dollars (listed on the Amazon.com). And that is a very good money value! Is the Amazon Kindle eReader the best ereader? I would say one of the best ereaders! The 80 bucks version come with unobtrusive ads, but in case you don’t want them you have to pay $109 for an ad-free Kindle 4 eReader. It’s the best deal out there, no question about that.
