Re: e-tablets

the nook can be hacked to the android interface (I believe it's the nook? ) Shiny, I've not heard of anyone having the problem with the reboot problem, that's a shame, typically they will either send you a new one or give you a big discount on a new one. I can say that when my first one died, they very quickly replaced it. there are converter programs out there so that you can get books in one format and convert them to the format you need, however typically you can get the book you want in the format you these days. I regularly read on my kindle, my phone (occ) and my computer (kindle app), I prefer my kindle if I'm going to read for a long time, it's easier on my eyes, that e-ink is nice and flat). Personally, I would buy kindle because of the Amazon CS...anytime I have an issue they take care of it, wether it's talking me through a reboot or helping me replace my first kindle or replacing a camera (different arm but still amazon)

Re: e-tablets

my Kindle is the K2...so it's got how much space???? ah, found it, 2gb, I've had it for a couple of years, and I've only paid over $5 for maybe 5 - 10 of them (authors I really like), the rest of them...I'd say 85% were free, and the final bunch were probably .99 - 1.99 or so.

the specs for the FIRE say " 8GB internal. That's enough for 80 apps, plus 10 movies or 800 songs or 6,000 books." that's alot of movies to keep on the device I would think...like I said, keep it on the cloud and download it to the device, even for a car trip, just make sure you find a coffee shop once in a while to swap the movies out...

Re: e-tablets

if you get your books from Amazon, don't keep them on the device, just download them, read, then remove them, let them keep them on their system, you can always get to the books again from your bookshelf again...that said, I have over 200 on my kindle. The newer Kindle is suppose to hold 1500.
look at the specs it gives you a pretty good feel for it.

Re: e-tablets

Oh, I 'believe' if you buy the Flame you get member access to the video library and storage on the Amazon 'cloud' research that first before you count on it...I'm more certain of the video part of that, but still not positive.

Re: e-tablets

What kind of info are you looking for? it's not out yet, but I'm on an email list for the kindle (love it) and one or two people seem to maybe have tested the flame soooo I may be able to give you a bit of info...

I know I want one, desperately :lol: it's wifi only, not like the 3g kindle. it's supposedly Amazon-centric opposed to the google-centric tablets you're use to seeing according to 'those in the know'.

there's a couple of tidbits, let me know what else you'd like to know, I may be able to help.
