@mynamebestname
You got a good point. I overlooked their datamining technology.
@mcbrite thats pretty interesting, well if i had known that I wouldnt have said such a comment.
so instead of being a complete jackass next time why dont u wise up, and say that from the start. ur respect level might actually reach above ground level.
@thajadewolf Are you my therapist?
You don’t see how your comment was idiotic? All a satnav does is take a couple of speech-blocks and fit them together. . . The same every time basically. . .
The reader needs to construct entire sentences from scratch. . .
i. e. you can’t compare it WHATSOEVER and if you do your an idiot. . .
voilá
@mcbrite, calm down and respect.
no color screen??? what year is this?
that comment is so fucking retarded I don’t even know where to begin to explain. . .
you, good sir, are a fucking moron. . .
@mynamebestname u should check out the night rider garmin i believe had for a while, lol the voice on its a riot
Guys just get the normal kindle 2
lmfAOOO
@thajadewolf
I think that making speech for GPSs is a lot easier than for something like a kindle, because a GPS only has to say a few words, like ‘turn left’ etc, while kindle has to handle an enourmous amount of words. . .
But I don’t own a GPS, so I’m just guessing
Anyways I agree that it is way too expensive.
I want one so badly. . Not only because the hardware looks supreme, but also because amazon is the best bookstore, with their datamining technology, and large selection of books.
im sorry, but the text to speech on the kindle is just crap. For 489 dollars all they can give u for text to speech is that lousy robot voice. GPSs under 200 have more voices that sound better. . . . dont get me wrong i think the kindle is awesome, but seriously amazon???
Also i believe the ipad can also only run one app at a time.
@joacovl who reeds? i think most people READ
i want
I agree. It serves its purpose. But Id probably get the regular kindle. This one is pretty pricey.
your mother is ugly
prooc, had u ever even touch a book??? they are almost always black and white (black is the ink and white the paper for ur information) and if i want it to reed, why i should need itunes? if i need it for reed i need long battery, and ipad dont has one. . .
Well the problem we had with e-books its causing bad sight, like when sitting too long at the computer. So these guys solved it with kindle. Another e-book minus – not portable ( except on a laptop or ipod ) they solved it too ))
You could think, ahh this is simple idea to make one of these, but it’s a weel thought and marketed idea ( that has big success )
the only minus – price ! ( duh! ) but comparing to laptops its slightly less ( they thought this one too )
If you’re looking for something cheaper, the DX is definitely not for you. The Kindle DX is $489, but the only major advantage it has over the regular Kindle is the screen is, which is only 6″ but $230 cheaper.
No. Just black and white.
When you’re reading a magazine does it have colors?? =(
@BlankMessageTV I agree, the Ipad and Kindle are 2 very different devices for different purposes. Kindle is best at reading simple text, replacing lots of voluminous books with a long battery life. That’s what it does. The Ipad is for sitting casually on a couch reading RSS feeds or watching a movie/TV show. We’re so used to new stuff combining everything it possibly can, but that’s not necessarily optimal. I see no reason people wouldn’t have both this and an Ipad.
not when u can potentially carry upto 3000 of them. Im looking it up now and this paticular one seems to be around 600$ its hard to understand why it costs so much and why you would buy one for that price.
all you APPLE fan boys SHUT THE FUCK UP this isnt a jumbo ipod SO SHUT IT this is meant FOR READING. . . NOT FOR MYSPACE
You are mature, leafy trees.
