Have you read any big PDF or ePUB files on it yet? If so, how is the page turning and can you search or go to a certain page number without any problems?I ask because I hear all these ereaders are crappy with handling PDF's especially scanned ones which is what I have most. There is a program that converts them (Calibre) to ereader formats, but even that's iffy.
I did not realize it, but the article says that the Baltimore Ravens got their name from Poe.
You just realized this now??
No, I'll just work in the library a while. The only time I take them out is when I have to read the whole book. If it's a topic that interests me a lot or I know I'm going to be consulting it often, I'll just buy it if it's not available online.
I found many great deals on used books at Amazon. I think I've only checked out 2 book from the library since going to school. I need a bigger study room. Either that or start installing bookshelves in the kitchen.
It's defintitely (OK, maybe) the most cited source of Leftists. That's why they are all experts on everything after all.
Good point. I need to stop this thought of putting every ebook I have on the device. Just need the ones I'm reading at the moment. (plus I'll save about $100)
Non-expandable memory may be the deal breaker. I was looking at the Nook, other ereaders, and some inexpensive tablets, and most have card slots. Just need to check how readable the screens are.
I'm against SOPA and can understand the protesting by these sites. But did they have to shut down their sites in protest? A banner or flash screen would get the message across.
Starbucks has free Wi Fi in my area. I was just wondering if you had to pay for a service provider plan as you do a cell phone if you want internet access.I have a few books in PDF format that have a lot of graphics (Greek art and stuff). Was just wondering how the Kindle handles those.Also do they have an SD or other memory chip slot for extra storage? The one I linked to is 1.5g. internal storage. I can fill that up in about 5 minutes.I'm assuming these can be hooked up to a computer to transfer files?
Just checked out this one. Mentioned free storage on cloud. Free storage of what? It says it's WI-FI. Does this mean I can get an internet connection anywhere there is WI-FI or do I have to pay for access? Kind of a stupid question, does it need an internet connection just to read a book? Can you highlight and mark up text? Does this thing have a browser with full internet capabilities? And what about graphic intensive PDF files?if not this one (as it seems to be the cheapest one), what about the other ones?Edit: added disclaimer for laziness. I could probably just read and find all this out, but I'd rather talk to someone who has actual experience using it.
