Kindle 3 Review Tai Tran 15/10/2010 http://www.coolthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kindle3G.jpg
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
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
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
