I found a series of Kindle
reviews by Pocket Now. These I really like because they show the Kindle and all of it’s functions up close. Plus they are honest reviews with no bias. The Kindle is a cool product, but it is not perfect. At least not yet.
It starts with locking the Kindle into the cover. The Kindle has 2 next page buttons, and a previous page button. It also has a back button and a selector wheel, which control a selector. It has a simple keyboard, where you can input words, search, and control the text size.
The on off button and wireless button and speaker are on the back. It has a rubber back cover and a nice ergonomic feel. It also has a headphone jack and a mini USB port. If you are new to the Kindle or thinking about getting one, then these videos are useful.
In this second video review, they talk about the screen and lighting issues with the Kindle. The Kindle has a 6 inch screen with a resolution of 800 x 600, and uses E-ink. To select items on the Kindle there is a selection wheel and a chrome strip that marks your selection.
This video also compares the contrast of the Kindle E-ink with a real book. The right bar is a next page button. The top has the book name, and author, and whether you have it book marked. On the bottom it has a meter that tells you how far along you are. You can also change the text size.
You can also look up a word on the fly. After looking up the word, just click on the back button and go back to where you left off.
This is the last video in the Kindle review from pocket now. It goes over reading newspapers on your Kindle. It also discusses some experimental Kindle features such as Basic Web – where you can attempt to view web pages over your Kindle . Keep in mind this is experimental.
Ask Kindle NowNow – where you can type a question and real people will send you 3 answers in about 10 minutes. And play music – where you can put in an SD card and listen to music, while you read on your Kindle .
