Anyone had experiences with a kindle? I'm considering buying one but don't know anyone who has one IRL.

Also where/how can I pirate books to put on it?

>> No.1279702

Bought one two weeks ago.

Its a godsend.

I find my books in various seedy websites (torrents are a last resort) and they work just fine.

Also, if you get a .pdf file ebook, convert it to .MOBI.

You'll get more functionality out of the Kindle that way.

Of course, this is considering you actually get one.

my thoughts on the kindle

good ebook reader. however the screen can be fragile- get a cover for it. Also make sure your warranty is good AND never, ever admit fault (The screen stopped working in my laptop safe bag, etc). They'll ship you a new one right quick. 2-3 days. To pirate, dl the ebooks then convert to .mobi with calibre. easy.

Had the wifi kindle for a few months, extremely light without the cover. Very thin, add the cover and you double the weight but its still light. Also get the lighted cover if you read in the night. Now the bad, it crashed on me a few times, but only when I was looking up definitions for a word. Overall the experience was a good one. BUT I sold it, why? because I got an iPad and the iPad blows the fucking kindle out of the water. Tap the word on the iPad and bam you got the defition, the kindle you have to navigate up with the dpad to get to the word and say a tiny prayer it doesnt crash. iPad is also AMAZING for pdfs, you'll start downloading magazines and just whipping through them on the iPad. COLOR images, great for magazines and a few books. Super easy to highlight and create bookmarks. The overall view of your library on the iPad just looks slick. Now all that is great right and that alone is why I sold my kindle. But add on top of that all the other shit the iPad can do.....internet,apps,videos,pictures,push email....shit I'm reading a book and it dings when an email comes in. The display of the iPad is much large also, and no need for a light like the kindle at night.

Now all that said, if you spend a lot of time outdoors reading under the sun, then get a kindle because the iPad sucks under bright sunny conditions. If you don't speed most of your time outside, buy the fucking iPad, and yes you can download pirated books onto it just like the kindle...much easier actually since you usually don't convert them like the kindle...just drag, drop, synch in itunes.

Indeed. I now have all (more than all, actually; I went on a dl splurge last night) the weird fiction I could ever want on my Kindle. I even decided to cough up a whopping $2.00 for the Definitive H.P. Lovecraft ebook.

Be careful of translations of classics, though. Look how badly the $0.99 translation of The Metamorphosis mangled one of the most wonderful opening sentences in Western literature:

>One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.

That's about it, but is that not enough? Even if you still buy all the books you read on it, the price difference between ebooks and physical books is enough that you recoup the cost of the device fairly quickly. I don't see any reason why someone who reads a lot wouldn't buy one.

Hmmm that is strange, how old are you?

I actually get headaches playing video games, but can sit in front of a computer all day long with no issues. I have had zero problems with the iPad reading for hours on end, probably the longest being 4hrs. I don't know, I was worried about that possibility but apple said I could return it no problem if that was the case. I do agree the kindle looks just like reading out of a book, hence why you need a light source. Maybe age or glasses play a part? at least you tried it and found out for yourself it wasn't for you.

I forgot to mention this though, even though the kindle has a web browser, it is a complete joke. Dont even let that be a factor in purchasing a kindle.

>>1279827 what's the advantage of having 3g

When a Dance of Dragons finally comes out, you can get instant gratification of reading it even if you're up at Mount Everest base camp?

I think it depends on how much you travel. If I were using my Kindle as my main source of information and entertainment while traveling extensively (like many of my consulting friends do), having the 3g means not having to bother with negotiating local hot-spots when you want to grab something new.

It's hard to justify the extra $50, otherwise, if you ask me. Beyond the "I AM A HUMAN BOOKSTORE" geek factor, of course.

I'm in the middle of the boonies and the on campus wireless is all sorts of messed up, so for me the 3G was necessary. Closest bookstores are Christian owned and ordered everything from Amazon gets to be a little tiring after a month or two. Also, no bookshelves! Those are my reasons for owning a Kindle.

It takes a little getting used to, but I got the case along with it, and it lets me hold the Kindle sort of how I would a regular book. It's a good product, but I recommend you do your own research and see if it's a good fit for you.

This thread is full of shit considering book sources.

Avoid pdf, it's shit. Get a real text format (epub, lfr, lit, mobi, txt, rtf, html or whatever) and convert it with Calibre to whatever your reader supports best.

Also avoid torrents, you will only find big packs of shit you don't want to read or novelties and bestsellers and most of the time in pdf. To search for a precise book you want to read use irc and #bookz on Undernet.

Project Gutenberg is good to get classics though.

The real reason to shy away from torrents is that you're distributing, not just downloading.

Due to the nature of torrents, whenever you're grabbing a movie/game/whatever, you're also providing it to others. It's the latter, not the former that lands you in deep legal doodoo if you're caught.

That's a huge IF though.

It's ace, just don't expect to get a decent price off of the kindle store.

I usually have a few different books on the go and it's wonderful to dip between them

Probably not, if I remember correctly they sold out the last few years so they really don't need to put it on sale. It's already one of the cheapest ones out now (that is any good whatsoever). But then again, you can just go pick one up at your local Target, so they might be mass distributing them this year.

If anyone has a good link to a mass torrent, feel free to share.

I might be a bit late to this thread, but does anyone know of an e-reader that you can type documents on?

Kindle (compared to Nook):
>has more memory
>has longer battery life (with both WiFi on and off)
>is smaller size (with same screen size?)
>weighs less
>costs less

I can't imagine how the interchangeable back panel and personalized screen savers are selling points for the Nook, but hey. I also can't speak to compare the quality of the respective e-inks, so I'll assume they're equivalent. The biggest thing the Nook has going for it is that you can get microSD cards to expand its carrying capacity, everything else is pretty much equivalent.

The only reason an IPad would stand a chance against the Nook or Kindle is because you can do things other than read books on it. But, of course, with that comes a much, much larger pricetag.

Does Nook have native PDF support? How easy might it be to import books from *ahem* other sources?

Oh and I guess the Nook's color screen at the bottom is pretty cool, but it's also nice to have tactile buttons to type with on the Kindle. That point is pretty even

Just got back from Target and Barnes and Noble, where they had their ebook readers on display (Kindle and Nook, respectively.)

The Nook screen appeared longer. But the contrast wasn't nearly as good, and it was annoying to read- it wasn't even as good as an actual book.

However if you plan on paying for books, they have a much bigger library to choose from and in most cases are a little cheaper, plus they can read epub format.

I'm also looking into getting a kindle. Do other ebook readers do better than the kindle? I live in Australia and Sony readers were insanely expensive. Also If I buy the kindle from Amazon will they use the current exchange rate?
