It is a very nice Device!
3 out of 5 stars
It is a very nice Device!
KINDLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SERVICE OR REPAIR CENTRE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. IF THE DEVICE STOPS WORKING IT'S YOUR RISK. Pros 1. Good Packing feels like an international product. 2. It is very thin, light and small. Easily fits in pocket. 3. It is much smaller than you think after seeing online pictures and specs 4. Once you switch on the device it automatically guides you about how to use it and register. Also there is a User's Guide Ebook in Kindle which explains all functions. 5. Screen is Glare Free much better than a smartphone or tablet. You can read even in bright Sunlight. If the backlight is turned Off, reading Screen's white portion is yellowish just like the paper of books. That's why it is called Paperwhite. 6. There are two separate models of Kindle Paperwhite. One with only Wifi and other one with Wifi and 3G. The 3G model has free internet usage. You will not be required to pay internet charges for downloading books from Amazon in 3G model. 7. Don't get depressed after buying. It will take some time to adjust to reading on Kindle from Hard books. You will love it once you start reading on Kindle. 8. Everything From Hardware to Software is well thought of and planned in minute detail. It is a very intelligent device. It is a masterpiece. 9. The Kindle is based on Linux Operating System. In between there is Java Runtime Environment. On the top is Java and HTML/Javascript. 10. On the bottom of Kindle you have micro-USB port for Transfer of files/Charging, A LED indicator for charging and An ON/OFF button (That is the only button on Kindle except Oasis model). 11. The Charger doesn't come bundled with the Kindle device. No need to buy charger. Your Samsung Smartphone charger or any other Micro-USB charger will work with this. There is only one Micro-USB port in Kindle, use it either to connect to PC or charge the Kindle. 12. Electrical rating written on box says "5.25v == 500mA MAX". Therefore do not buy charger with rating more than 0.5Amp. 13. Battery life is long enough. It will last 6 Weeks, if you read half an hour daily. Provided you keep wifi off and set the brightness level at 10 (Kindle Paperwhite). 14. There are 24 levels of brightness. For me Level 7 is enough for reading even in darkness. 15. I never need to charge it. I connect to my PC everyday for USB synchronization for 5 minutes. That is enough for charging this device. 16. While charging Kindle, Orange indicator light is On, When fully charged the indicator light turns to Green. 17. Though the data cable comes with kindle. Any mobile data cable will work with this. 18. When you switch ON a smartphone or tablet it takes lot of time to boot and then it shows the home screen. But Kindle is switched ON in a second and shows the page which you were reading last time. 19. While Reading the Ebook, Touching Screen on Right Bottom will turn the page forward. Touching Screen on Left Bottom will turn the page backward. Touching Screen anywhere on Top will show the Top Toolbars & Menu. 20.In the bottom left corner while reading an ebook, The Kindle shows you the percentage of book read and estimated time required to complete the chapter and book based on your reading speed. 21. The top right corner of Kindle Screen is for bookmarks. While reading book if you tap twice on the top right corner of Kindle Screen the page is bookmarked. 22. You can take Screenshot in Kindle of any screen like Home Screen, EBook Cover, EBook Page etc. You have to touch simultaneously Top Left and Bottom Right of the screen with your fingertip. A png file will be created. You can retrieve that file by connecting Kindle to your PC with USB Cable. 23. You can download MOBI, PRC, PDF, TXT, AZW3 ebooks from internet, Then transfer to your kindle from your computer through USB Cable and read them. There is no limit to how many books you can transfer via USB to Kindle except that your 4GB Kindle memory should have space left. 24. You can download EPUB, Doc, RTF and HTML ebooks from Internet, then Convert to AZW3 or Mobi using Calibre Free Software, Then transfer to your kindle from your computer through USB Cable and read them. 25. While reading an ebook, Kindle shows what passage other people have highlighted. It also shows what notes they have written (from those you follow in kindle community). 26. While reading the ebook, If you slide your finger over a text or long press a word with a finger, the text is selected. Kindle will display the meaning of the selected word. You can search the selected word/text on Wikipedia (Needs Wifi). You can translate the selected word/text (Needs Wifi). You can Highlight or add notes to selected word/text. You can share the selected word/text on Email, Facebook, Goodreads and Twitter. You can search selected word/text in current Book, All books, Kindle Store (Needs Wifi). You can open Dictionary. You can Report Content Error (Type, Formatting, Image, Other, Comments). 27. When you highlight a text or make notes or bookmark a page from ebook, it is stored in My Clippings.txt file. You can access this file from your PC using USB cable. You can collect all the highlights and notes of a particular ebook using this file. Even if you delete highlights, notes, bookmarks from My Clippings.txt file, they are not deleted from ebook. 28. Goodreads is a amazon website that rates, reviews and suggests books. Goodreads is integrated with Kindle that means you can access Goodreads and all its features from kindle. When you open a book for first time on Kindle, The Kindle asks you to mark the book as 'Currently Reading' on Goodreads. 29Whenever you look at a word meaning while reading a ebook by long pressing a word with your finger, it is added to Vocabulary builder as a flashcard in 'Learning' section. Once you have mastered the word it moves to 'Mastered' section. You can also delete a word from vocabulary builder. 30. In India Kindle comes with two dictionaries inbuilt viz. 'Oxford Dictionary of English' and 'The New Oxford American Dictionary' (Default). You can download a third dictionary with in Kindle free of cost 'Merriam Webster's Advanced Learner's English Dictionary' if required. 31. You can download Encyclopedia and Thesaurus from the web in Kindle format. It will make your Kindle much more useful device. The site is kindlefere.com/en/dict 32. There is an experimental browser inbuilt in Kindle. You can use it to browse internet. It is experimental means it does not have all the features of a browser. If you want to find some information on Google quickly, you can use this browser on Kindle, rather than booting your computer. But it doesn't show the mobile version of the website, It shows the desktop version of the website that's why the webpage text is so small that you have to zoom it by expanding your fingers then scroll from left to right to read each line. It has Back and Forward Navigation, Bookmarks, History and Article Mode. In Article mode, it will delete all images and advertisements and present the webpage text neatly formatted as an article. 33. All ebooks you purchase from Amazon are stored in Cloud (Manage Your Content and Devices), From there, they are downloaded and synced across all your kindle devices and apps. If you want your personal documents or ebooks (purchased from other sources) to be stored in Amazon cloud you will have to attach them in a mail and Send-to-Kindle email address provided to you when you registered your Kindle with Amazon (It is shown in Kindle settings also). 34. If you want to convert documents (htm, html rtf, doc, docx, txt, zip, x-zip, mobi, jpg, gif, bmp, png) (File size 50MB) (Not more than 25 documents attached in a mail) to kindle format you can attach them in a mail, put subject as convert and Send-to-Kindle Email address provided to you when you registered your Kindle with Amazon (It is shown in Kindle settings also). Conversion of pdf to Kindle format is done on experimental basis. visit this link for more information amazon.in/kindlepersonaldocuments/ 35. You can read magazines on Kindle. There is separate section for 'Magazines in Kindle Store' on Amazon website. You can buy magazines and read it on Kindle. But magazines will be visible only in Black & White on Kindle. Most of the Popular Magazines are not available in Kindle Formats. You can download free magazines from other sites in PDF format and read it. But again reading PDF documents is not easy on Kindle due to lack of word wrap. 36. There is a free software K2pdfopt on the net which optimizes pdf documents for reading on Kindle device but it increases the file size more than 5 times. But I use WPS Office App on my Android phone to read PDFs. It has 'Mobile View' which optimizes PDF file for viewing on mobile. 37. You can read any article on internet on your kindle device neatly formatted and in azw3 format. There are bookmarklets for this like Tinderizer, Readability, Klip.me, Instapaper(Instapaper sends article without images). There are chrome extensions for sending articles to kindle by Amazon, Klip.me, fivefilters.org. I use Tinderizer bookmarklet, it is the best. 38. You can also read RSS feeds from different websites and blogs on your Kindle. The sites which send rss feeds to your Kindle are Kindle4RSS.com, kindlefeeder.com, sendtoreader.com, zenreads.com, keendly.com, inoreader.com, fabreadly.com. But these sites are not much useful. Calibre free software is best for sending RSS feeds to your Kindle device. 39. Also there are many Discussion Forums on the internet for Kindle Device. kboards.com mobileread.com/forums/index.php reddit.com/r/kindle/ 40. There are many free books on Amazon which you can download for free on kindle. New free ebooks are daily added on Amazon. Besides on Internet there are many free ebook sites from where you can download ebooks to your pc then transfer them to Kindle through USB cable. 41. The Kindle device automatically updates software from internet and reboots whenever required. If the battery is very low it will not install updates. Intelligently it will install updates once the battery is charged. 42. Once you register Kindle with your Amazon account, You don't need to change Amazon password in Kindle if you change it on the Amazon site. 43. You can preview a book without leaving your current page by swiping your finger from bottom of Kindle Screen to top (Kindle Page Flip). There are three ways to preview a book: Pagewise, Chapterwise, or by using a progress bar. 44. In settings you can set Wifi Off (Airplane Mode), Select Wifi Networks, Register/Deregister Kindle with Amazon, Manage Kindle Passcode, Parental controls (Restrict access to Experimental Web Browser, Kindle Store, Cloud and Goodreads on Kindle), Manage Device Name, Personal Info, Set Device Time, Customize Home Screen View (On/Off Recommendations of other ebooks to buy), Buy Next book in Series, Delete Saved Wi-Fi Passwords, Whispersync for Books, Send-to-Kindle Email, Set the Language for your Kindle, Add Keyboards for different Languages, Set default dictionary for each language, Enable Word Wise and Vocabulary Builder Flashcards, Refresh the display with every page turn, Manage Social Networks to share highlighted passages, Manage public notes, popular highlights and About this book. 45. While reading ebook if you find an image, you can zoom it. Long press image with your finger, a magnifying glass symbol appears. Tap on it to zoom an image. 46. After reading the book, the Kindle asks you to rate the book on a 5 star scale. It also suggests similar or next in series books to buy. 47. Before purchasing an ebook for Kindle from Amazon, read customer reviews marked with verified purchase. Then look inside the ebook especially its Table of Contents. You can also download sample of the ebook to your Kindle Device. The Sample usually contains Table of Contents and First Chapter. Once you decide to buy the book after above 3 steps, search Google with title of the book if epub or mobi version of the book is available for download from any site for free. Usually you will get most popular books free of cost to download from many sites for ex: CraxMe.com/forum.php, forum.mobilism.org, gen.lib.rus.ec, Archive.org, avxhome.se/ebooks, free-ebooks.net, gutenberg.org, e-booksdirectory.com, aazea.com/books, mobileread.com/forums. If you do not get book after googling and from these sites then purchase the ebook. 48. By pressing Power button the Kindle just Wakes Up from Sleep Mode, It doesn't Restart. To Restart the Kindle press power button for 6 seconds continuously. You will get an option to Cancel, Restart, Screen Off. 49. You can also jailbreak your kindle device by downgrading its update version. Then it will allow you to install custom screensavers, epub reader and better pdf files reader etc. But It is strongly NOT recommended to jailbreak your device. 50. Kindle App for Android/iOS has all the features of Kindle. If you buy a Smartphone or Tablet and download Kindle App. It will become a big screen, Coloured, multipurpose device but you will need to charge your Smartphone/Tablet everyday for hours. You cannot read Smartphone/Tablet in Sunlight and their screens are not glare free. You can download and use Kindle Software for Desktop PC also. OR you can use Kindle Cloud Reader on your Chrome Browser. 51. If you are a regular reader of books and read atleast 30 mins daily and if you read western books also then you may need Kindle. But if you are irregular reader and only read sometimes then better option is to buy about 15 hard books for Rs. 3000 than spending Rs 9000 for Kindle Paperwhite and save Rs.6000. 52. Kindle device has been replaced by Smartphones. These days almost all books are available on your smartphone through apps. They are customized for viewing on smartphone. There is android app called AnyBooks (Muses Lab) it has Thousands of the known and famous books available for free to read. If you like to read or listen to summary of self help books then use StoryShots (Parsida AB), Any Book Summary (AARK) android apps. If you want to read or listen to summary of books in Hindi then use GIGL (GIGL-APPLICATIONS), Pocket FM, Yebook android app. If you want to listen to famous or classic audiobooks then use LibriVox (BookDesign) android app. I use Moon+ Reader for reading ebooks on Android Smartphone. Cons 1. Packing without thermocol or anything else to prevent shock 2. Kindle should come bundled with Wall Charger and Carrying Case at the same price. 3. White and Grey color should be available for all Kindle models. 4. Hard User guide that comes with Kindle has just one page in English and It tells how to switch on the device, that's all. 5. Complete Technical specifications should also be included in the User Guide. 6. Screen is completely Black and White. No Colours. It cannot play Video, Audio or Games. 7. Amazon should try to make E-Ink Screen of Kindle Coloured. Invest in R&D for this. 8. There are no Page Turn Buttons or a Home button on Kindle. Including them will make it more convenient. 9. For most of the ebooks there are no page numbers in kindle, only location number in thousands which seem to be arbitrary. This is a little bit discomfortable. 10. Does not display PDF files properly, the font is very small. If you enlarge the font then you have to scroll left to right to read each line. 11. You will have to convert PDF files to another format using Calibre free software or optimize it for reading on Kindle by using K2pdfopt software. 12. All hard books are not available in kindle format. 13. Hindi font should be available in Kindle sold in India. 14. Kindle should support EPub, Doc, Rtf and HTML formats natively. 15. Kindle should come with Encyclopedia and Thesaurus inbuilt like dictionaries. 16. Kindle should come with preinstalled Games to make the Kindle more interesting. 17. The real cost of manufacturing this device, I guess, should be 1/4th of the price at which it sells. 18. You will not get free Wifi in Wifi only model. But you get Free 3G data in Wifi+3G Model. 19. You will get free 3G but you can't access anything except Wikipedia, Goodreads, Post on Social Network and download ebooks from Kindle store. You can't get 3G connection everywhere. 20. My Kindle device hangs once in 3 months. It either automatically reboots or you reboot it manually. After that it starts working fine. So no issues. 21. You can't listen to Audio Books in Kindle. But on Tablet/Smartphone you can listen. 22. There should be a speaker inbuilt in Kindle. Then you can listen to audio books. Dictionary can come with pronunciation. 23. As kindle is a costly device it should come with 32GB memory rather than 4GB currently. Then whole of Wikipedia can be inbuilt for offline browsing. That will make Kindle much more useful device. Out of 4GB only about 3GB is available to user for storing ebooks. But even in 3GB memory you can store more than Thousand ebooks. In my Kindle I have calculated that on an average an ebook takes 2.7MB space, So in 3GB Kindle space you can store more than Thousand ebooks. 24. In Kindle Unlimited subscription you can download 10 kindle unlimited ebooks at a time. After 10 ebooks, You will have to return old books to get new books. In Kindle Unlimited subscription ebooks will be deleted automatically after your Kindle Unlimited subscription ends. But this limitation is only for Kindle Unlimited Subscription. 25. The limit in Kindle Unlimited Subscription is Total 1000 ebooks or 30 days whichever comes first, if you pay for one month subscription. YES, you can download and store 1000 ebooks on your COMPUTER FOREVER by just paying Rs.150 for one month Kindle Unlimited Subscription. But if you download 1000 ebooks, they will go waste and will keep lying on your computer. You will never feel like reading them. Though you will falsely feel that you have made good use of your money. It is better to download 10 to 20 ebooks. Then you will read most of them and make good use of your money. You don't need Kindle device for Kindle Unlimited Subscription, You can also use Kindle Cloud Reader (Browser), Kindle for PC or Kindle App for Smartphones. 26. Most of the times Amazon transfers ebooks in KFX format which sometimes will not be detected by Kindle when you Manually transferred via USB to Kindle. You can download its AZW3 version from 'Manage Your Content & Devices' page. For Hindi books sometimes only KFX version is available and you cannot download AZW3 version. 27. File names of the many Kindle ebooks are so long that they create problem while backing up in PC or deleting them in Kindle via PC. If you shorten or change the file name of the Kindle ebook using USB and PC, then the ebook doesn't show up in the kindle at all. 28. You can't use OTG cable to connect to pendrive or a 3G Dongle as the Kindle is not a tablet with a file explorer. But you can use your PC with USB cable to transfer files. 29. It does not have a playstore from where you can install apps as it is not a tablet. But it does have a Kindle store from where you can download free and paid ebooks. 30. Kindle is a bit unstable device. Sometimes it doesn't show a book you copied by usb cable. Sometimes it doesn't show an ebook if it is moved inside a folder. Sometimes it moves ebooks automatically outside of the folder etc. It keeps on doing peculiar things. 31. The screen technology of Kindle is called E-Ink. It is black & white. It can't play videos. There are two new technologies CLEARink and i.MX 7. Which are cheaper to manufacture and coloured and can play Videos. But how much time Amazon will take to adopt these new technologies can't be said. You can check online review of Kindle Paperwhite at ashwynm.blogspot.in/2016/08/kindle-paperwhite-review.html

Prior to this, I was using the Paperwhite 2012 model (which lasted me five years!) before it started malfunctioning, and though in this all-new Paperwhite Amazon has retained some of its most prominent features, it has also made some seriously good improvements.

    As a postgrad student in English Literature, a Kindle is absolutely indispensable to my everyday life. Not only is it easy for me to procure copies of expensive or out of print books, it also becomes convenient to read into the night as I often do, thanks to the amazing backlit screen. In this review, I hope to not only outline the positives and negatives (if any) of the Kindle, but also to tell you how you can go about obtaining free books for your Kindle.

    Pros:
    1. Unlike the previous Kindle, this one comes with an extensive font choice (including a thoughtful dyslexic-friendly option), which allows you to truly personalise your reading experience
    2. Easier to highlight and make notes: simply holding your finger over a piece of text will allow you highlight, unlike the previous Kindle where you had to select and then tap a highlight button
    3. Wordwise is a blessing: every time you look up the meaning of a word, it gets saved as flashcards so you later revise whatever you've learned.Especially useful for kids
    4. 4 gb of data is more than enough: If you're skeptical about the 4gb of data and are thinking of purchasing the more expensive Oasis or Voyage, then don't! My previous kindle held close to 800 books and used only about half the storage
    5. There are 24 levels of brightness so you can choose whatever fits your needs
    6. Beast of a battery life: I bought this nearly a month ago and have so far charged it only twice
    7. Sleek, premium built: Fits into my purse without any hassle and feels so incredibly sleek and elegant in my hands
    8. Glare-free screen offers an undoubted advantage over PCs and smartphones, I can read for hours without the slightest discomfort to my eyes
    9. Goodreads integration allows you to rate and review your current reads, and also suggests new books for you to read
    10. E-ink technology is unsurpassable
    11. I personally love the lack of physical buttons for page turning; this way, I'm not fumbling in the dark every time I want to turn the page
    12. Distraction free reading: no annoying apps and notifications to take you away from your book!
    13. Xray feature is a blessing, especially if you want to know more about the book you're reading
    14. Read articles on your kindle using chrome extensions like Instapaper
    15. Wikipedia (can only access w internet connection) is a useful feature and allows you to instantly look up people/events/etc
    16. All your highlights and notes are neatly stored in the 'My Clippings' folder for your convenience
    17. Lightweight device means you can comfortably read for hours without any strain to your hands
    18. Footnotes and endnotes are available at a tap: with physical books, you have to keep flipping to the end of the book to access them; my favourite part about the Kindle is that tapping the superscript above a word allows you to view the notes without having to lose track of what you're reading (useful if you're reading a lot of academic texts or essays)
    19. easy to transfer files to your kindle: just connect it to your laptop and drop files to the "Document" folder of your kindle!
    20. Plastic screen means it's less prone to scratches and scuffs
    21. Kindle ebooks are always available on an excellent discount

    Negatives:
    1. nothing against the kindle personally, but when I received my package, I noticed a small, minuscule scratch on the Kindle display and filed for a return; weirdly enough, Amazon took ten whole days to pick up the return and process the exchange
    2. A basic case and wall charger should come bundled with this; for 10k, I think it's a fair demand
    3. Auto brightness would be a great feature, but again, not a deal breaker

    How can you get free ebooks?

    Want to read more but unwilling to shell out the big bucks? Use libgen.io (or other libgen mirror websites) and project Gutenberg! Project Gutenberg has a fairly limited collection (mostly classics), but libgen is your go-to if you want almost any book under the sun! I also read a lot of papers and academic articles (a lot of which is paywalled) by using sci-hub to bypass paywalls.

    If you have a PDF, I would highly recommend converting it to mobi before transferring it to your kindle (you can convert for free using zamzar or pdf2mobi.com

    Go for it blindly!
