Why You Should Buy a Kindle 3G Wifi, Not an Apple Toy

Article by Cameron Connery

Find out how you can get free Wifi all the time when you buy a Kindle 3G wifi ebook reader. You’ll be able to bring your Kindle to ball games, the beach and the airport and get free Wifi wherever you are!

It didn’t take Amazon long to figure out that they could whoop Apple’s butt by doing one thing with the Kindle 3G Wifi: offering free 3G Wifi anywhere in the world to Kindle 3G Wifi owners. This one thing gave them an edge on the Apple iPad and was all they needed to ramp up interest in the third generation Kindle.

This makes the Apple iPad look worse by the day. Not only is the iPad about 0 for the good version, plus per month for calling service and Wifi, it’s big and bulky – too big to fit in a travel bag.

But the Kindle 3G Wifi on the other hand has a lot of things going for it.

First of all, the whole “free Wifi” thing is a great option. All you have to pay is the one-time fee of 9 for the Kindle device, and you’re ready to get free Wifi for the entire life of your ebook reader.

Then, there’s the slim, compact size. While Apple’s iPad reaches nearly 10 inches in height, the Kindle 3G Wifi measures a mere 4.8 by 7.5 inches – big difference! This makes it a lot easier to hold on the bleachers in between watching your kids round the bases and take water breaks.

Now, I will say this about the iPad. It’s a little easier to browse online on the iPad than on the Amazon Kindle 3G Wifi. But that being said, it’s a whole lot cheaper to use the Kindle as an internet browser than using an iPad, wouldn’t you say? So it’s well worth it to browse for free than to pay for some internet connectivity!

Also, the Kindle 3G Wifi comes in two different colors, white and graphite. The graphite resists stains and fingerprints more than the white, but the white gives you that iPad look if that’s important to you. And of course, it’s easy to find decorative covers to put on the Kindle to give it some style of your own.

But do you know what I like best? The long battery life. Yep, the battery life on a Kindle 3G Wifi far, far, far surpasses its own predecessors as well as the iPad when it comes to battery life. Amazon says that it lasts up to three weeks when the Wifi is turned on and up to one month – one whole month! – when Wifi is turned off.

So you don’t have to cart around charging cables wherever you go in order to keep a charge long enough to get through “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.” You’ll have plenty of charge to get through your whole ebook with this kind of battery life!

But there’s just one more thing you should know about the Kindle 3G Wifi that I didn’t have room to write about here. But you can find out what that is when you check out http://www.squidoo.com/3g-kindle. I promise you that the Kindle will knock your socks off in every imaginable way – without digging too far into your wallet.

Question by BrAIYNdahmaged: Is a kindle good at displaying textbooks?
I have a hard time reading e-textbooks on my computer. Mainly because the pages are not big enough and the screen is annoying to read off of. It is just nicer to be reading it on regular paper. I was wondering if a kindle would be a good buy, because it’s pages are a lot like paper. It would save me a lot of money. What should I do? Does anyone have any advice?

I was wondering how to read or use documents on the Kindle touch, it said that you can transfer them to the Kindle, so I took the document I wanted off my computer and did so. But when I ejected the Kindle, and went to go look for it, I can’t seem to like it. Could anyone please help me? It’d be great big help! Thank you so very much!

If it’s in pdf or mobi format, you should be able to drag it to the Documents folder. If it’s not, use Calibre ( a free application) to convert it to mobi and then copy it.
