When we travel, be it overnight or for a couple of weeks, one of the things many people take with them is a book or two. This might be a reading book or perhaps a travel book relating to the holiday destination. Either way books can be heavy and of course take up room when packing. So is there a better option?
Well, yes, an ebook reader is the ideal companion for many bookworm travellers. There are several of these on the market but Muchmor Canada Magazine takes a look at the Amazon kindle which has repeatedly been named best ebook reader by companies such as Consumer Reports.
The kindle is now in its third generation redesign and there are three models to choose from. The first and cheapest model is the Wi-Fi version which retails at $139 USD. It has a 6 inch screen that uses E Ink Pearl to display the books. It weighs only 8.5 ounces (240 grams) and the battery lasts approximately one month (wireless off).
The second model is the same as the Wi-Fi version but also includes 3G wireless coverage. It weighs a fraction more: 8.7 ounces (246 grams). It cost $189 USD.
The third option is the larger kindle DX which boasts a 9.7 inch screen and includes Wi-Fi and 3G. It weighs 18.9 ounces (535 grams) and has a battery life of approximately 2-3 weeks (wireless off). This model is by far the dearest at $379.00 USD.
All models come in the new graphite finish and come with Amazon's Whispernet technology which along with Wi-Fi networks allows instant searching and downloading from their kindle book store.
So, does the kindle live up to expectation?
Muchmor Canada Magazine tested the kindle to find out if it was really as good as everyone says it is.
As an avid book reader I was very skeptical about using an ebook reader as I love the touch and feel of a book in my hands. This might sound a little odd to someone who is not a self-confessed bookaholic, but to anyone who is they will understand what I mean.
On first glance the kindle looks very nice. The graphite finish adds a bit of class and feels good to hold. It is very light, lighter than a standard paperback and it feels comfortable in the hands.
There is a qwerty keyboard at the base of the device along with menu, home and back buttons. The 5-way controller allows you to navigate the screen with ease. Down the side of the screen are four large paddle-type buttons which allow you to turn pages forwards and backwards. The same buttons
