In the last few months, 2-Speed Labs is inundated with virtual traktorsko trailer load of new gadgets. I hope to review many of these in the coming weeks dissecting for your enjoyment. Having just finished my second book on Amazon's new light, though, and think about the device fresh in my mind, I thought to start with this über cool gadget.
For those of you who have not heard of light, Amazon's to take the e-book reader. To many of the same features other e-book readers - store for many books, good electronic ink (E-ink) display search content, etc. It is phenomenal battery life, even better (a lot) with the radio off. I read the book plus a variety of download articles on one charge - and read the speed of kindergartner.
What is really cool about the device to which it adds Amazon Uhispernet call. Basically, It'sa one mobile (EV-DO radio services using Sprint) built-in light for download books, journals and other Internet issues. Although you can not place a call on the light, viewing and downloading ability is very cool. There is no periodic charge for use, either. Projections are used to load up-front cost in the reader.
Of course, it always (well, the optional) data connection is super easy to view Amazon's library books in the form of light (a sudden number of books already exists - more than 100,000) and download them immediately. Since the most expensive book is $ 9.99, it probably will not break you. Although it is difficult $ 359 (recently reduced from $ 399) expenses for the device.
One can subscribe to a few magazines and newspapers (for a fee, of course) and journals are automatically sent to the light as soon as available. Newspapers are delivered in the early morning hours and even the early birds do not have to wait to step in front of the shoes, garment for coffee and newspaper delivery person to appear. From what I can say, New York Times works well in the present form of light, others are a little hunting to do.
When you register your light, you receive two e-mail addresses. As you send certain documents to this address, Amazon will turn in documents in a format that is understood and set fire to or e-mail document created on a computer or on your proslijediti light through Uhispernet. There is no charge for the document to an e-mail (you can transfer it to yourself when you set fire to it), but Amazon charges $ 0.10 for each document sent directly to your light.
There are several blogs that can also be logged in, if you do not mind to pay for reading blog posts. There is also a few "experimental" features that include ueb browser and MP3 player.
The problem with the web-browser and reader of the blog is that the light is set to work with the sites - such as those in the book. It does not process the HTML box, or large ueb page-oriented information well. Although the scroll wheel wrong with me, it does not move the cursor or screen up and down as you think in the mouse and the paradigm of the browser on your computer. Instead, the previous and next buttons are used (as in the previous and next page). It is difficult to explain, but not what is in the context of normal ueb browser or blog reader.
