Kindle, experiences, uses, skills and tricks

Last December 1 Kindle de Amazon was on sale in Spain, of direct form, in its simplest version, at a 99€ price. After realizing the order the same day and receiving it on the following day, I am going to speak to you on my experience with him, one week later, how to use it, so that it serves, so that it does not serve, any skills of use and any tricks to extract any more profit.

Before starting, if you are interested in a Kindle it is the moment to buy it. Until December 12 you have a 10€ discount writing this code: A9ZHHNE6 on having realized the order. You are warned.
We start.

What the Kindle if it is:

The Kindle is a reader of electronic books, small, light, very very easy to use, with dictionary in integrated Spanish, with a duration of battery of more than one month and that only costs 99€. So simple as that. This is what it does and in that it is hardly surmountable.


The Kindle weighs 170 grams, something more than an iPhone, but a screen size has 6 inches, approximately 15 centimeters. In the hand he feels well, very well he would say. It gives the sensation of weighing very little for the big thing that is. You can be reading a lot of time with him in the hand and it is not tiring. It has 4 buttons to spend the pages, 2 to every side. The low button of every side is to advance page and the top button to step back. I liked reading very much books in the iPhone for the possibility of reading a book in the bed, knocked down, to it support with a hand and power spending the pages with a simple gesture, without using other one. The Kindle allows it. At first the button becomes rare to spend with only one hand. It is difficult to explain, but as you have to touch the perpendicular button inwards with a hand you give something of angle and it costs you. To the half an hour you are spending the pages without problems. If you it take with 2 hands this difficulty it does not ever exist. It is neither serious at all nor worrying, but one who complains about everything and that one was the first sensation that I had, now more that accustomed, I spend the pages without difficulty.


In addition to 4 side buttons for the change of page the Kindle he has 7 more buttons. For order. The low button of the left is a button back to behind. If we enter the dictionary it serves to us to return to the reading, if we advance chapters or return to the front it will take us back where we were, of course, if we pass we will not be able to advance again. The second button is that of the keyboard. On having pulsated on this button, us a keyboard will appear on screen that will allow us to introduce text to realize different actions, from introducing the password of a network wifi to that let's want to connect to us, send messages to Twitter or Facebook with fragments of the book or realize notes on the text. The central button consists of four arrows of direction and a central button of selection. With the direction arrows we will be able to move for the menus of the Kindle, select text to underline, to select a word so that the dictionary defines it to us or to jump of chapter in chapter of a book. With the central button we will accept all the messages or menus that appear on screen. To the right of the central button we have 2 more buttons. The menu button contextual will do to us to appear a menu with all the options that we can realize in every moment. Generally the options that are available are: To activate / deactivate Wifi, to Visit the shop Kindle, to Change source size, to Go to …, to Go to the most advanced most well-read page, Description of the book, to Look in this document, to Add a scoreboard, notes and scoreboards, to See underlined popular. On having touched this button also, there us will appear the top bar where we will be able to see the title of the book, the hour, the coverage wifi (if we are connected to some network) and the state of the battery.

The last button of the frontal part will film us of Home where we will be able to see all the books that we take in the Kindle and where from we will be able to gain access (touching the menu contextual) to the configuration of the Kindle and to the experimental web navigator.
