What is Amazon Kindle? What are the features?

Kindle is an e-book reader designed and marketed by Amazon.

The e-ink screen of the eye-friendly kindle is different from the self-luminous mobile phone and tablet screen, it does not emit light itself, and allows us to see the text content by reflecting natural light, which is the same as when we look at paper books, so it is quite good for the eyes.

The name Kindle was chosen by Michael Patrick Cronan at the invitation of Lab126. He and his partner, Karinhibma, suggested using a kindle, which means to light a flame. They believe that the name is rich in meaning, alluding to the excitement that books and wisdom bring.

What is the Kindle used for? The main purpose of the kindle is, of course, for reading.

1. You can read all kinds of books, including magazines, newspapers, comics, etc. I bought the e-book push through the WeChat store, bind my kindle, enter the book I want to read directly in the push***, and then push it to the kindle to start reading.

2. Read all kinds of RSS. You don't need to log in**, you can watch some web news directly on your kindle through the Internet, and there are many ways to subscribe, such as dog ears, reabble, etc. I am buying push, and buying VIP directly includes the RSS push function.

Kindle reading is not only a low-cost purchase of e-books, but also has no accompanying entertainment and social features, which can reduce distractions when reading. The design of its ink screen is more comfortable and power-saving during the reading process.

Kindle black and white screen, broken browser, no entertainment features, why buy it?

According to my own test, there are three main advantages compared to tablets:

The screen is realistic: the e-ink screen, the e-ink does not hurt the eyes, and the printed matter is simply messy;

Ultra-long battery life: only in the page change lighting power consumption, according to the official website, it can be used for more than 8 weeks when you watch it for half an hour a day at the strongest brightness of airplane mode. Want to ask how many days does the tablet be charged? It's sad to say.

In addition, the 213-gram thin and light experience, 2GB of ultra-large storage, and rich network e-book resources are really addictive. Reading changes temperament, fed up with games day and night and online social networking (kindle can't play games, just to focus on reading), it's better to let go of impetuousness, make full use of your fragmented time, and be a Confucian who reads poetry and books! The Kindle uses an e-ink screen with inductive ink in the middle of the screen, which is arranged and combined to form a black and white pattern according to the instructions.

It looks great in sunlight. It can simulate the feeling of looking at a paper document in real life. Also, reading for a long time will not dry and sour the eyes.

However, the Kindle can only be used to read books.
