I want to buy a kindle, but my family strongly opposes it, saying that it is useless and a waste of

As the saying goes, SLR ruins a lifetime, and Kindle is three generations richer. The good thing about reading is that the price of the kindle is simply too cheap compared to the value it generates.

But the economic conditions do not allow it, so we have to think of other ways.

For example, you can buy a kindle 5 for 600 yuan, except for the lack of a backlight, the others are very easy to use, very pure readers. Then you can go to work on your own, and there is no problem in saving money for a kindle. Even a second-hand kindle can be considered.

It doesn't matter if your family supports you or not. In addition, when I was in school, the books in the library should also be put to good use, what to say about kindle, most serious books are in pdf format, and the general kindle is not very good at reading pdf, and the screen is too small. There are a lot of books in the library that you can't read on your kindle.

So be sure to take advantage of it.

KP is too expensive, just buy a K4 K5, more than 500 yuan.

Or buy a second-hand K3,400 yuan, it's okay.

The second-hand nook2 is also about 400 yuan.

It's a good thing to read more, I hope you don't rush and explain it clearly to your family.

Now it costs hundreds of dollars to buy a few random books.

I used k3 first, and now I use nook2, and I've read dozens of books in 2 years.

If you are still a student, I recommend that you make good use of the library. Seriously, e-books aren't that rich in resources. Many of them are made by netizens, and the quality is uneven.

I am a sophomore this year, and last year I faced the same problem as you, and my family's attitude was the same, and I generally thought that knowledge was important, and finally stubbornly persuaded my parents, which is a decision for me, and I chose me to be responsible. However, after buying it, I found that the value was not as great as I thought (at least for the time being).

I don't have the money to buy it, the logic is obvious.

What does a library do?

I've given people similar questions before.

First, about reading PDF files. It is troublesome to read PDF with a six-inch screen, and the words are too small. Although there is software that can convert a PDF file with a six-inch screen, it is also troublesome to convert each document.

Therefore, I don't think it makes much sense to buy a Kindle if you only look at PDFs.

Second, about the speed of opening files. The current Kindle4 and Kindle Touch CPUs have been upgraded compared to Kindle3, and the previous Kindle3 has been able to open files very quickly, and the new one has not been used but it should be better. If you read the manga, it might be a little slower, but I haven't tried it.

3. About the difference between the Kindle 4 button version and Touch. The button version has only 5 buttons, which will be very difficult for people who like to read books and take notes, and touch can be used to input text on the touch screen. The button version is a little smaller and thinner than the touch, but the standby time is shorter, one month (two months for the touch).

The button version doesn't have a sound output, and I don't know if there's one. The button version is $30 cheaper.

Fourth, about whether to buy a kindle or not. Don't look at many people who bought it, they are mainly because they are cheap, and they are American, so they feel that they have taken advantage of it. In fact, the people who really insist on using this book are still a small minority.

Carefully assess whether you really need it, and then consider that the yuan is also money, don't join in the fun.

Kindle is an e-book reader, also known as an e-book, designed and marketed by Amazon. I have a friend's company that makes similar products, and once brought one to me to play with. I slid it casually, I felt incomparable to my phone and tablet, not to mention the slow reaction speed, and the screen flickered.

I joked with the other party, will anyone buy this thing, it's better to buy feelings than to buy this.

As a result, within a year, I began to get ready to buy, and my desire to buy became stronger day by day. In order to suppress my desire to buy, I also set up a flag, reduced to 90 pounds and then bought, and then the standard was lowered to 95, but I still couldn't meet the standard, so I simply let Y place an order on Amazon, without checking the discount, and without waiting**.

It took two weeks, and it basically overturned my previous cognition. Well, I've read six books in two weeks, and of course it's a bit of a mouthful, but it's still good.

There are several parts of kindle's resources, Amazon has a free area, and there is also a membership area, where members (kindle unlimited) can borrow books in designated areas for free. 12 yuan per month, and the average is about 12 yuan per month. Whether it's free or membership, you can borrow up to ten books, and if you exceed ten, you must return them first, that is, remove them from your machine.

In fact, it is a very good habit to clean up in time, but in view of the fact that it is now the era of large storage, many people like to hoard, especially when they encounter their favorite books, they always want to save them, and the borrowing mode of Kindle is a bit not in line with this trend. But from what point of view, reading is always more important than saving.

In addition to the membership and free area, a regular way to get books is to buy them directly, ranging from a few cents to a dozen yuan a book. In order to improve the user experience of purchasing, it provides trial chapters, which can be read two chapters before buying.

In addition, we can choose how to import it. One is, of course, a copy of the computer directly connected to it. The other way is to send books to the device through the mailbox by configuring only one mailbox.

Except for the lock screen ads, there are only books inside. In recent years, it has been difficult for me to focus on one thing, I have to read WeChat every few minutes, Weibo, and brush up on news gossip if I have nothing to do, no matter what app I am using, I must quit every once in a while, and scan each application. And there is nothing in the e-book, you quit this one, then read the next one.

We have been pursuing a variety of functions and coolness, and hope that all kinds of needs can be met. At first we just wanted to hear your voice, but now mobile phones can basically cover 80% of life's needs, it liberates us from all kinds of things, and then plunges into another black hole. Sometimes it can be moderately simplified, doing one thing at a time, not in parallel, but a good experience.

At the same time, Kindle reduces the cost of re-selection. If you don't like it, change it. When I bought it, I found that I didn't like it, so I could only pile up dust.

Of course, it is not without drawbacks, the screen will flash when turning the page, and students who are used to using mobile phones and tablets may not be comfortable at first glance. If you're interested, you can buy one and play with it, and it's sauce for now.

Not cost-effective.

Here's what I have to say about Kindle Unlimited:

What kind of ** to read what kind of books, I don't deny that there are indeed some high-quality works in the library, but there are too few, and the vast majority of the rest have no reading value;

Aside from the book list, if Kindle Unlimited opens up more high-quality resources in the future, it is indeed very cost-effective for people who have maintained reading habits for a long time - except for the free public version of the book and a small number of classic works**, each other book** is usually more than 10 dollars, and the audiobook** is more than 20-30 dollars, even if the cheapest membership is more than 10 dollars per book;

The form of subscription plays the role of "books cannot be borrowed or read", which can urge people to read as much as possible in the current month, so as to avoid the situation of buying books like a mountain and reading books like a thread;

For me personally, the lack of quality resources in Article 1 is fatal, so I definitely won't use this service at this stage;

I don't recommend this service for people who want to practice their English by reading the original books, the Kindle Store has a large number of free public edition books, most of which are classics, which cost nothing and are of higher quality.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that reading is not to save money, nor to follow trends, but to choose the list of books to read purely based on personal interests and inner preferences. Reading a book is not like buying something in a hypermarket, so I strongly discourage anyone from choosing this service for a cheap subscription fee in the hope of a so-called good deal - the result is either to be forced to inject a lot of garbage and waste time, or to lose interest in reading and end up wasting a subscription fee and not being able to read a single book.
