Win a Kindle

Jun 2

Written by: Don Jones
6/2/2008 8:01 AM

I purchased an Amazon Kindle a few weeks ago. More importantly, I’ve read about six novels on the thing, including Sabriel, Orphan’s Journey, and others. I’ve even been re-reading the original Shannara series by Terry Brooks.

I have to say, I like the Kindle. Yes, it has the industrial design aesthetic of a doorstop, but it grows on you. Learning to hold it isn’t difficult, and once you do you realize that you hold it much like you would a paperback novel, putting your thumbs in easy reach of the “Next Page” buttons on either side of the unit. The eInk display is crisp and clear, and easier on the eyes (mine, at least) than ink on paper. If you’ve never seen an eInk display, you’re tempted to think of it as some kind of advanced LCD - not so. It’s actually tiny little bubbles filled with black or white (well, off-white) ink. They’re electrically charged and can be turned to display either side on command, creating a flat, crisp display that reflects light - it does not use a backlight. Once turned to the desired position, the little bubbles stay put - meaning the display uses no power unless you’re turning pages. With its wireless feature turned off, I’ve run the Kindle for about a week without charging it.

Here's my full hands-on review of the Amazon Kindle, along with a chance for you to win your own! http://concentratedtech.com/content/index.php/2008/06/02/amazon-kindle-review-win-one/
