Kindle 3 Review
1. Kindle 3 Review Tai Tran 15/10/2010 http://www.coolthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kindle3G.jpg
2. First Impression Hey Tai, turn this thing on What ya mean? It's already on! Huh? Wow! It looks exactly like a book, unlike a digital device at all
3. Size Friend 2: It's portable, I like it Friend 1: Ain't it too small? I: If it's too small you can try DX
4. Display Predictably, only black and white. Expect color in near future Page transition isn't very smooth PDF files can be copied to Kindle via USB or sent via Wi-Fi. But font size need to be enlarged in computer before being copied to Kindle Graphs and formula are very well displayed Graph process is slow Landscape mode Kindle can't improve scanned PDF quality You still need to use light in darkness Reading under sunlight is great, no reflection
7. Through a microscope Amazon Kindle Organic, pleasant for the eyes Single-purpose: books Apple iPad Digital Multi-purpose: entertainment Peters K, 2010, 'Kindle and iPad Displays: Up close and personal', BIT-101, accessed 15/10/2010, from http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=2722

14. How to get out of Drive Mode Drive mode You can copy files to your Kindle via USB You can't read on Kindle in this mode Message: "If you want to use your Kindle and continue charging, please eject your Kindle from your computer." How to eject correctly "Safely remove hardware" doesn't work Go to Explorer, right-click on Kindle drive and click "Reject"
