Shepherd Ching 16年 前 About black and white:As same as Sony Reader, there is no color and no nightime reading because their design is saving battery power.About functions:Last time BChan has pointed out that the weakness of Sony Reader, no search function for Bible study. But now Amazon Kindle is better, it has keyboard, search and other functions than Sony Reader.About running cost:1. Sony Reader is a pdf reader. (One time off, no strange attached)2. I watched the video that Amazon Kindle has no clear instruction of their storage. It seemed that user need to pay monthly service fee.(One of the business tricks: "Milk customers money" a little bit day by day) 投票するためにはログインが必要です。 次として送信する: キャンセル Nate Cavanaugh Shepherd Ching 16年 前 Hi Shepherd,About the storage of the books, it's stored on an internal hard drive that can be expanded via an SD memory card.It also says that you can send jpg, gif and bmp files to the reader for easy on the go viewing, so I wonder if they just show up as b&w photos.I don't think they're looking to milk customers dry, but rather offer useful features that people would be willing to pay for, while giving a lot of value.At least, that's what it looks like.I hope that's the case in reality 投票するためにはログインが必要です。 次として送信する: キャンセル

Ivan Cheung 16年 前 Although Sony's ebook reader name is funky, I'd have to say that Amazon's 'Kindle' is a bit ambiguous. Will Kindle be a beacon of knowledge in the dark? I think not. 投票するためにはログインが必要です。 次として送信する: キャンセル Nate Cavanaugh Ivan Cheung 16年 前 Ah, but see, look at the name iPod. Completely ambiguous, weird, and yet, now part of everyday vernacular.Librie is hard to say, hard to remember, and has no connection to to anything.So at least Kindle has some tangential connection, in that it kindles within you the burning desire to read, and illuminates our lives with it's easy access to information 投票するためにはログインが必要です。 次として送信する: キャンセル
