主题：今天收到了俺的Kindle 2 -- 豆扑
家园 今天收到了俺的Kindle 2 一天把玩下来觉得……真是很完美的一件东西，无可挑剔的显示效果，细致周到的用户界面加上方便快捷的内容获取，迟早要成为电子书业的iPod。可以预想，其短期影响是让报刊业起死回生，而彻底断了名著再版的香火；长期影响则将深刻改变大多数人的阅读习惯，外加省下好多纸
美中不足的是在德国能从Kindle store能买到的内容少好多，多半新书都没有，而影响最大的几份报纸在德国价格直接翻番（NYT美国kindle价14，99美元每月，在德国订要27，99美元）。但是无论如何，要说起内容的话，不信亚马逊又能信谁呢？
修改：刚收到亚马逊的邮件被退返20美元……
Good news! Due to strong customer demand for our newest Kindle with U.S. and international wireless, we are consolidating our family of 6" Kindles. As part of this consolidation, we are lowering the price of the Kindle you just purchased from $279 down to $259. You don't need to do anything to get the lower price--we are automatically issuing you a $20 refund. This refund should be processed in the next few days and will appear as a credit on your next billing statement.
本帖一共被 1 帖 引用 (帖内工具实现)家园 不看好kindle，kindle能上网么？ 这个东西要轻薄，这个kindle满足，但是还要能上网，否则成了只能买报纸买书来看的终端，就要看默多克那套收费内容PK google免费哲学的胜负手了。
理想中的kindle除了轻薄外，还可以向chromeOS那样能上网，要触屏，其他功能不要，可以少费电，但是要能够与手机3G联网，这样除了收费内容外，还可以有自己的网上收集到的内容，比如pdf，比如一些网页，自己的内容可以用SD卡，但更重要的是可以从网上存储那里实时下载看，这样就需要有个网上管理个人内容的服务，叫云也可以，类似myMac那样的东西。
Amazon如果想做内容方面的app store，这个kindle还要做得更体贴些。再说，什么能阻挡一般的上网本代替kindle呢？ 还不说Apple如果也来个iBook之类的。 如果台湾或大陆那些山寨厂，开发个专用上网本，内置3G，通过手机商来发售，再找NYTimes，默多克等好好谈谈，或者跟google联手，用google的云来开发网上存储，做出一张不局限于Amazon书店的网上内容大饼，不是个很有钱图的事么。弄得以后让Aamzon称臣，弄得不好卖给google接着去PK，这不比在那做代工强多了。
家园 今天发布2.3升级，支持pdf直读和90度转动屏幕 http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200324680&#kindleversion
Kindle (Global Wireless) and Kindle (U.S. Wireless)
Built-in PDF reader: Your Kindle can now display PDF documents without losing the formatting of the original file. Send PDF documents directly to your Kindle (via your @Kindle address) or drag and drop PDF files from your computer to your Kindle (when connected via USB).
Longer battery life for Kindle (Global Wireless): You can now read for up to 1 week on a single charge with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks.
Manual screen rotation: The Kindle screen can now manually rotate between portrait and landscape views so you can see the entire width of a web page or magnify the page of a PDF file. The page-turn buttons work the same in either orientation, and the 5-way controller movements are switched to match the orientation.
Option to convert PDF files to Kindle format. If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format (so that they can reflow), type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your @kindle.com address.
家园 不错，请问可以看自己的pdf文档吗？ 还是一定要买Amazon的书？
