Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device
My first half-hour with the Kindle, November 20, 2007
Randall B. Miller (Tulsa, OK)
picked it up at The UPS Store. Took it out of the box, turned it on, saw that it was charged. The wireless indicator was all bars. I scanned the instructions, pressed home, selected Time magazine and a book, and had them in the machine in less than 20 seconds each.
Then I started reading them. (While in the parking lot where I had picked it up moments before.)
First impressions:
1) My Kindle was preregistered and said “Welcome Randy” on an early screen, and was ready for me to buy stuff.
2) I own the Sony PRS-500 and 505, and the screen is the same quality, as well as page-turn speed. The buttons are very different and better…the turn page button is 5 inches long, the “turn page back” button is a half inch long. This makes much more sense than Sony’s minimal equal-sized buttons.
