Kindle
Kindle buying advice ?
Which one to buy, and pros and cons please ? If you selling one pm me price please? We have an iPad2 but were thinking ahead for our holiday, or at least the mrs is for reading (me and kidz in pool) LOL. Rob |
my mrs has the first one without the keyboard and loves it,
very light and usually a full charge can last over 1 month with her reading it for 4hrs a day.mind and turn the wifi off of you will only get 1 wks use from it, she looked at the newest one with the keyboard but she said it reminded her of a computer so didnt get it, hope this helps |
Cheers Tom, I'll pass the info onto the mrs.

Hi Rob,
My 10yr old has the basic one (no kbd & no 3G) and here are our conclusions:- No keyboard makes it very frustrating when searching for words, books etc in the kindle store or even putting in password. The Kindle will act as a web browser (albeit not very advanced) so with the free 3G it is a handy portable browser, especially on your hols :-) but basic Kindle only has wifi. However- Touch screen version is just available so that is definately worth considering as it only costs a bit more than the basic, better battery life, audio, and other stuff. Hope that helps :-) Cheers, Adrian. |
Thanks Adrian,
I thought these were all quite good, I didn't realise that some were painful to use. It was worth the thread then, at least now she will have some idea on what to go for. Rob |
what phone you got dude? kindle app is free on andriod and windows phones, so may not need the specific thing, also dont forget you can only buy books from amazon with kindle.

i brought the wife the Kindle 3 from Amazon She loves it and finds it well easy to use
really wouldn't go for any of the advanced 1's with keyboards etc as the ipad will cover the other needs , also don't get to carried away remember that it's only meant to read books Also you don't need to buy books from amazon plenty places online to get em ;) |
Cheers for the info guys, I'll keep an eye out on a good deal, as we (she) doesnt need one until mid July.
