Kindle Pda
Why is Kindle so expensive?!?
The technology is not even on par with your current PDA, iphone, Windows Mobile who can pretty much do more than the kindle?
Exactly! Just Me, youre getting a cookie.
There's many advantages that dedicated "ebook readers" such as the Kindle have over PDAs and such:
- No glare or reflection from screen, can be read in bright sunlight
- Same readability as a newspaper or book (everyone knows how much it sucks to read from a computer screen for hours)
- Doesn't get warm
- Larger screen means less scrolling and page turning
- Battery life (can last up to 2 weeks)
But onto your original question, my guess is:
- The technology (like eInk) is still expensive to manufacture
- Not enough units are being sold (say compared to an IPhone) to bring down the price yet
- There's not enough competition in the market; there's really only 4-5 competing products right now
So, once there's more competition and more people buy these (the big push will likely come from education institutes), we'll hopefully see prices come down.

Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 3G Works Globally, Graphite, 9.7" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology
This is an edit to my original review which I regretted immediately after posting because in fairness, I realized I didn't give the Kindle enough time to make a good review. After spending some more time using the *** Kindle ***, reading a couple books, and also trying the Nook Color, I have edited my review and am giving the Kindle a better rating with some comparisons to the iPad and Nook Color.
Category: Eye Strain
This is what supposedly makes or breaks a reader. With the Kindle DX I can read for hours inside, in the car, anywhere without eye strain. For someone that looks at a computer monitor 10 hours a day this is a huge deal. The iPad is not so bad, but it does cause some eye strain especially after reading longer sessions of more that an hour. The Nook Color caused me horrible eye strain after reading for short sessions less than an hour due to the tiny screen and glare it produced. After reading on an LCD screen for close to a year I was really impressed how pleasant on your eyes these Kindles are.
Category: Web Browsing
With the Kindle DX, web browsing is basically a last resort unless you are used to browsing with a really slow connection like dial-up or satellite. The web is black and white and formatting is more pda like. For browsing the Ipad is far the best. The Nook Color also seemed to display sites accurately but the screen is small.
Category: User Interface
The Kindle DX seemed like a step backwards with no touchscreen and looks and feels outdated. After getting used to it, it does work OK. The iPad navigation is much better and more intuitive. When using the Nook color I would constantly open links accidentally when trying to scroll vertically using the touch screen and didn't like it.
Category: Cost
At $379 the Kindle DX is really expensive and unless you are a hardcore reader or spend most of your time reading in direct sunlight, you may be better off getting the less expensive version, or spending about 100 more for an entry level iPad which enables you to surf the web, play games, check your email, etc. Not trying to discourage anyone as I have the Kindle DX and intend on keeping it but these are some valid concerns for the price.
Category: Text to Speech.
Far as I know only Kindle does this, however, it's not available on all books due to copyright issues.
Category: Weight and Size
Smaller is not better when it comes to size for these readers. The Kindle's size makes it easy to hold and read without constantly flipping pages. The Kindle also weighs less than both the iPad and Nook Color, which doesn't seem like a big deal but it is. I give the iPad a not so distant second place in this category because it's big enough to read easily, but is heavier. I don't recommend the Nook color because it's heavy AND small. Not comfortable to hold and you constantly need to flip pages.
Category: Reading Indoors/ Outdoors
One of the biggest advantages you'll hear praised on the Kindle and other e-ink readers is the ability to read in bright sunlight. OK... but why not also provide a light for reading in the dark? I can't speak for other people but most of my reading isn't done in the bright sunlight. If I'm at the beach the last thing I'm going to do is break out the Kindle. I read mostly indoors, or in bed at night, sometimes with the light off so I don't bother my wife when she is trying to sleep. With the *** Kindle DX *** you need to read with the light on or get a clip on type of attachment like you would for a regular book. With Ipad or Nook Color you don't need an attachment due to the built in backlight.

Top 40 Best iPhone Apps in 2011
There are now well over 250,000 apps available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and, surprisingly, many of the best are free.
The following list showcases our pick of the 40 best free iPhone apps, and includes iPhone applications for social networking, travel, news, photography, productivity and more.
If your top free iPhone apps aren't covered, tell us all about them in the comments.
1. Facebook
Once an ugly duckling, but now – as of version 3 – a social-network-aware swan, Facebook is a triumph. The revised grid-based ‘home screens' provide speedy access to regularly visited sections (news feed, notifications, and so on) and pages, and the experience is such that it in many ways beats the browser version.
2. Gorillacam
Pretty much from nowhere, Gorillacam arrived in December 2009 from the creators of the Gorillapod tripods. It mashes together a slew of features to hugely improve an iPhone's camera (timer, multi-shot, spirit-level, on-screen grid, ‘press anywhere' capture), meaning you can bin a half-dozen standalone apps that offer similar things.
3. RunKeeper Free
The prospect of Nike+ but better and for free might sound unlikely, but that's what RunKeeper Free provides. The app uses an iPhone's GPS capabilities to track your jogging route, and provides mapping and details of pace and calories burned. Activities can be shared online, and treadmill runs can be entered manually.
4. Stanza
Kindle's grabbed many ‘electronic book' headlines, but an iPhone or iPod touch is a perfectly competent alternative – at least if you have the right app to hand. Stanza enables you to download books from various sources (many of which offer free titles), and you can transfer your own ePub, PDF or eReader titles from the free Stanza Desktop.
5. Dropbox
Plenty of apps exist for transferring content between your computer and your device, but Dropbox is free and easier to use than most of its contemporaries. Dump files you want to sync in a folder on your computer and Dropbox for your device will enable you to access them, download them for offline viewing, and, in many cases, view them.
6. thetrainline
For anyone commuting by train, thetrainline is the free app to beat all others. Journey planning, offline results, timetables and a location-aware ‘next train home' option are available via a clean, streamlined interface. The app's not quite as good as National Rail Enquiries, but it is very similar – and five quid cheaper.
7. Skype
It's imperfect and annoyingly lacks push notifications, but Skype is still an essential download. The interface is pleasingly simple and usable, enabling anyone with a Skype account to make free calls to other Skype users and cheap calls to anywhere in the world. If you're on Pay and Go, this is particularly handy, but the app also enables iPod touch users to utilise their devices for calls.
8. Movies
Although some aspects of cinema listings app Movies are disappointingly US-centric (notably regarding details on upcoming movies and DVDs), it succeeds where it matters. Select a film and the app figures out where you're located, lists nearby cinemas, and displays times your chosen film is showing. Efficiency can be further increased by pinning favourite cinemas to the top of the list.
9. TonePad
Virtual pianos and guitars are all very well, but purely digital musical toys are more suited to Apple handhelds. TonePad is the best of them, using a grid-based interface that enables you to turn notes on and off and compose pleasing and harmonious loops; your creations can be edited, saved and uploaded to share with other users.
10. Thomson Reuters News Pro
There are many free news apps, but Reuters News Pro offers a breadth of coverage that makes it a winner. Preferences enable you to tailor the app's output to the UK, and the toolbar provides swift access to news, pictures, videos and stock markets coverage.
11. Twitter (formerly Tweetie)
Tweetie was the iPhone Twitter client that other iPhone Twitter clients wanted to be. Its combination of polished interface, plentiful options and multi-account support meant everyone loved it – apart from cheapskates, because Tweetie wasn't free. Now, however, it is, because Twitter bought it, rebranded it as Twitter, and set fire to the price tag.
12. Comics
In all honesty, Comics is a little awkward compared to using it on an iPad, but you won't find a better comics experience on an iPhone. The app is free, as are dozens of downloadable comics – and once you run out of those, many more are available to buy. Reading works on a frame-by-frame automated ‘zoom' basis, and is surprisingly usable.
13. Wikipanion
The Wikipedia website works fine on iPhones, but a dedicated app is a better bet. Wikipanion is a freebie which gives you quick access to article sections, in-article search, viewing options, bookmarking, and the ability to tweet about whatever odd fact you've just unearthed. Also, wonderfully, there are no ads.
14. Evernote
Clients to access the popular Evernote service for storing notes and ideas online are available for so many platforms that we half expect a ZX Spectrum app to be announced tomorrow. On the iPhone, Evernote is efficient and usable, enabling you to rapidly scan your notes and also create new ones.
15. Kindle
Now iBooks has arrived on the iPhone, you might wonder why you should bother with Amazon's Kindle. After all, the app's not as pretty as iBooks, nor is there an integrated store (you buy in Safari and sync purchases to the app). However, Kindle offers a massive selection of books compared to Apple's app and the reading experience is great.
16. Around Me
Around Me figures out where you are and lists local stuff – banks, bars, petrol stations and, er, Apple Retail Stores. The app's reliance on Google Maps info means there are gaps, but it's nonetheless handy to have installed when in unfamiliar surroundings, and the ‘augmented reality' landscape mode is amusing, if flaky.
17. Dictionary.com – Dictionary & Thesaurus
A million definitions and 90,000 synonyms are available in the palm of your hand with this free, offline dictionary and thesaurus. The app is fast and efficient, includes phonetic and audio pronunciation of words, and its interface seems perfectly suited to the iPhone.
18. Air Video Free
Air Video Free can stream (and convert as necessary) video from any computer running the free Air Video Server. You only get access to a small number of items per folder or playlist, but some careful planning can get around that limitation.
19. Adobe Photoshop Express
If you're looking for Photoshop-style power, Photoshop Express won't impress. However, if you're after a quick, free, highly usable tool for making edits to your iPhone photos, Adobe's app is ideal. Use it for cropping, straightening, exposure adjustments, colour effects, sharpening and more.
20. iHandy Level Free
One of the tools from the excellent iHandy Carpenter toolkit app, iHandy Level Free turns your iPhone into a spirit level. By default, it'll show just how wonky your device's accelerometer is, but tap the calibrate button and you get an accurate and great-looking level.
21. Instapaper Free
Set up an Instapaper account, create a bookmark in Safari on your device, and you can then send articles to Instapaper Free, for a superior and focussed offline reading experience. The app also acts as a superb taster for the paid version, which adds alternate themes and iPad support.
22. PCalc Lite
"But I've already got a calculator on my device," you might argue. True, but now you can stash default Apple apps in a folder, it's easier to justify replacing them with something better – and PCalc Lite is without doubt the finest free calculator for iOS, with a great interface and plenty of options. You can also bolt-on features from the paid version via in-app purchases.
23. iBooks
Having made a big splash on the iPad, iBooks has now arrived for Apple's smaller devices. Effectively iTunes for books, the app combines a reader and store, in Apple's typically usable and integrated fashion. Usefully, iBooks includes PDF support and bookmarks automatically sync across devices.
24. Red Laser
Now free, due to being snapped up by eBay, the Red Laser bar-code scanner is pretty accurate, even if you're still saddled with an iPhone 3G. It's great for checking prices while shopping, and also enables you to get your media collections into Delicious Library if you make use of AppleScript.
25. eBay Selling
And the reason for eBay buying Red Laser? This app, which makes it astonishingly easy to sell your unwanted stuff. Use eBay Selling to scan items; you can then research prices on eBay or import items for sale far more quickly than you can using a PC.
26. eBay Mobile
Unsurprisingly, eBay also has the buying side of its operation covered with eBay Mobile. The app supports iOS 4 multitasking, and, like eBay Selling, it's fast and efficient, to the point that it's preferable to using eBay's website on a PC.
27. Google Earth
"Hold the world in the palm of your hand," says Google about Google Earth, which enables you to fly across the planet by swiping your finger. More integration with content and features from Maps would be good, but Google Earth's Wikipedia articles and a Panoramio layer at least ensure it's a great app for seeing the world from your living room.
28. XE Currency
XE Currency is a fine example of an app that does what it needs to, without fuss. You configure a list of currencies, and it shows current conversion rates. Double-tap a currency to set its base rate or to define values for custom conversions.
29. Shazam
Shazam is an app that feels like magic when you first use it. It's deceptively simple—hold your iPhone near to a music source, and wait while the app listens and tells you what track is playing. But the sheer technology behind this simplicity is mind-boggling, and while Shazam doesn't always guess right (and only allows five ‘tags' per month for new users, unless you upgrade to the paid version), it's worth a download.
30. Bump
Another contender for the ‘surely, that's witchcraft?' award, Bump enables you to select up to four contacts, then ‘bump' your device into another iOS device running Bump to transfer details, or to compare contacts. And, yeah, we know there's an email-based ‘share contact' option in Contacts, but where's the fun in that?
31. Yell.com
As you might expect, Yell.com enables you to find local stuff. Select from a bunch of built-in categories or type in your own term for a list of local amenities, and use the map to navigate. Avoid the clunky augmented reality view, though.
32. BBC News
BBC News has a mobile website that works very nicely in Safari. However, when using it you'll find video isn't accessible. The BBC News app has some slightly quirky navigation (and occasionally questionable stability), but provides quick access to breaking stories, complete with playable videos and zoomable text.
33. Find My iPhone
For the paranoid souls out there (or the unlucky ones who've had their devices pilfered), Find My iPhone has now been freed from the paid version of MobileMe. Assuming you've a 2010 or later iOS device, you can set up a free account and locate your devices within seconds. (Note that older devices can also be added to Find My iPhone – you just need a recent one to get things going.)
34. Dragon Dictation
Fed up of typing on the tiny iPhone keyboard? Use Dragon Dictation instead, which happily converts your speech into text (with slightly spooky levels of accuracy for a freebie app). You can even punctuate ("Comma! Full-stop!"), and when you're done the app enables you to fire your thoughts at Facebook, Twitter, Mail or the iOS clipboard.
35. iHandy Torch Free
It's a torch! It's a cheesy neon light! It's a hypnotic spiral effect! With slightly annoying ads! (In reality, iHandy Torch Free is a mostly a handy app to have installed in case you get up for a midnight snack or toilet visit, don't turn on the light and want to avoid smashing your toe annoyingly hard into an unruly cupboard.)
36. TVGuide.co.uk TV Guide
TV Guide is an app that's come a long way. At one time, this was a disappointing UK TV listings app. Today, it boasts now-and-next and scrollable listings views, reminders, and calendar, Twitter and Facebook integration. Only avoid if you hate TV or don't live in the UK.
37. Zoopla Property Search
There are loads of property search apps on the App Store, but Zoopla is the best of them. Its listings are comprehensive and there's also local market data, including local sale prices and estimates on market value. The location button is a bit rubbish, but the app soon finds properties when you manually type a location.
38. IM+
If you're an instant messaging fiend, IM+ gives you access to GTalk, Yahoo, MSN/Live Messenger, AIM/iChat, ICQ, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, and Jabber. With multitasking and push notifications in iOS 4, IM+ has been transformed from a curiosity into a must-have freebie app.
39. Atomic Web Browser Lite
The lite version of Atomic is missing quite a few features that are found in its paid-for version, including even basic multitasking support and content resumption on reopening the app. However, for times where you need a single-session browser that automatically dumps everything on exit, such as when buying gifts, this is a handy app to have installed.
40. Virtuoso Piano Free 3
Virtuoso Piano Free 3 won't turn you into a virtuoso, but it's a perfectly serviceable mini piano. You can amend the number of keys shown on screen, and buttons enable you to rapidly navigate the full keyboard. You get two built-in voices for playback, to which you can add variable levels of sustain.
