Foreword: Why do I apply for kindle
After graduating from college to work, the opportunity to turn books is really rare. The development of the Internet, the bombing of information, and more are fragmented fast-food reading. People in the fast-paced life are often overwhelmed. Usually after the end of their work, they return to their homes. Just like Grandpa Gehyun's "Gyeonggi" on the sofa, he also suffers from mobile phone syndrome and becomes a prisoner of mobile phones. Before going to school, he had to seize the time to read newspapers in the bathroom, and later he only took the mobile phone to the toilet. It wasn’t until after I had a baby that I started to read the enthusiasm for reading books. I read books in the notion of parenting and creating a good example for her. Now the small bookshelves are already full of books.
For the first time in impression, I saw kindle being on a train back home several years ago. When I met a foreigner on a trip, my mother was reading a magazine. In addition, my father and son all had electronic devices and were quietly playing. Looks like the usual bowed family is no different. When I approached, I discovered that this father and son did not take the ipad but the electric paper book. The older children were 12-year-old and the younger 9-year-old and 10-year-old. Look like. It is said that parents are the best teachers for children, and the meaning of preaching and teaching is reflected in the family. Later, through various channels, Amey Kindle, as well as a variety of kindle sunbaths seen on Aunt Zhang's list, in order to ease the pressure on their bookcases and enrich themselves, so they planted the kindle grass.
Excited and excited, I would like to thank again for what is worth buying the platform to give me the chance to test this time. This is my first time to apply for public beta. I did not expect to have been flopped by the public. When I received Zhang Aunt’s text message, she was so cool that she would fly.

VIII. Summary and Suggestions
A new generation of starter version of kindle
At the end of June 2016, Amazon China announced that the new generation of Amazon e-book reader Kindle Starter Edition will be pre-sold in China and the world at the same time. The price is RMB 558 yuan. It offers two black and white product selections. The delivery date is July. number 20. The new Kindle Starter Edition is lighter, 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the previous generation of the Kindle Starter Edition, making it easier for the reader to hold one hand. The new kindle running memory doubled, and also introduced the intelligent recommendation function. At the same time, it improved the new word prompting function, supported English-Chinese/English-English translations, and shared the functions of Weibo WeChat. The Kindle's high-contrast electronic ink screen has no reflective interference even in direct sunlight, and has outstanding battery life. It can be recharged for several weeks at a time.
Second, out of the box
After receiving the text message passed by the public test, he began to wait for Zhang Aunt’s express delivery, and saw more value-for-money sunbathers, so he was especially looking forward to tearing down the surprise from Aunt Zhang! Two days after receiving the text message, it received the news that the courier had sent.

In addition to a kindle after opening, there was even a kindle protective cover. The goodwill of Aunt Zhang once again improved, it was just too sweet! Originally buying a protective cover was one of my plans. The next step is to help the provincial money!~~~

There are only three items in the box, kindle, simple instructions, and power cord. The product itself does not include an adapter. When charging, it is replaced with an existing adapter in the home or directly connected to the computer for charging. If no adapter is available, it can be purchased separately.
Kindle's paper manual is relatively simple, detailed user guide in kindle, you can download view
Kindle protection cover, Aunt Zhang gave me a black, because the screen of the electronic paper book is relatively fragile, taking into account the issue of carrying out, so the protective cover is particularly important
Put on the effect of protective cover
Sleek and comfortable, it can protect the kindle well and is not afraid of wear when you carry it out. The protective case closes to sleep and turns on to wake up. Personally feel that the protective cover is a must. The NuPro brand protective sleeve authorised and supervised by Amazon is priced at $59 and is available in five colors

Because the landlord is the first time to use kindle, so I do not know that these are not actually complete books, but sample chapters. At first I thought that the above were free books provided by Amazon.
After downloading sample chapters, you can try sample books for free and decide whether to purchase them.
Just open a sample chapter with an introduction to the book (displaying book information the first time you open the book, this feature can be turned on or off in settings)

Click on the right side of the screen to flip the page. The first time you see it, a newbie tutorial page will pop up and the tutorial will close.
At the same time, when the pages were touched by other Kindle users, they felt that the splash screen was actually acceptable. The landlord felt that the splash screen phenomenon was completely acceptable and did not affect the reading experience.
About the splash screen, I made a violent dynamic picture, and also recorded a violent page-turning video. The video quality was a bit scum. Please forgive me.
The video is more exaggerated, but in the actual reading process, I think no one will read the book at this speed, so I personally feel that the so-called splash screen problem is completely acceptable or even ignored. At present, this entry level kindle I used for more than a week, reading time is about 2 hours a day, and did not feel that the splash screen when turning pages will cause discomfort.
2. How to download and purchase electric paper books
Kindle with WIFI can be purchased directly in the kindle store, or on Amazon.com on a computer or mobile phone (APP).

Landlord spent 0.1 yuan to open a Kindle Unlimited seven-day trial, borrowed 10 books. You can't read books without borrowing them.
In addition, she often sees a variety of free or special Kindle e-books on Aunt Zhang’s list, feeling that Amazon is still very sincere. The kindle that happened to have just caught up with him also caught up with Amazon's two books of restriction each day, and several of them were books that they wanted to see. Every day, we insist on playing a card-like download and feel that we have earned it again.

New function 1: A comprehensive upgrade of new words and support for English-Chinese/English-Chinese translation
One of the new entry-level kindle highlights is the comprehensive upgrade of new word prompts and interline translations

The new vocabulary prompt has now fully supported English-Chinese/English-Chinese translation. This function can effectively help readers to read English books faster, without stopping to search the dictionary, and become a tool for readers to learn English.

Here also to talk about kindle error correction
Landlord usually online shopping books are relatively reliable e-commerce sites, such as Amazon, JD, Dangdang. However, occasional errors are found in the book, such as errors in the printing of texts, formats, and pictures. When I used kindle, I found it had an error correction function, and I could promptly point out the mistakes in the book.
Using kindle for error correction feedback, click on the wrong part of the article
Report error content and submit it just fine
The use of the Kindle's X-RAY feature over the past few days is quite awesome. Just download the book that supports X-Ray and you can use this feature. The X-RAY function can count and categorize the proper nouns in the entire book, sort it out, and click it to clearly see the ins and outs of the book. No longer worrying about not remembering lengthy names and place names, it is easy to understand the full text. In addition, kindle's quick flipping of the book, saving the current progress function is also commendable.
4, battery life & equipment charging
Kindle consumes power only when reading and using WIFI or backlight, and it does not consume power under the standby screen.
The power indicator shows orange when charging
When the power is full, the power indicator light is green, and the Kindle's power is fully charged in about four hours
When I read a book, I always turn off WIFI. I need to download or share the link before I link it.
There are also some users that the Kindle's battery display bar has gaps, and is always filled with dissatisfaction, but the landlord did not find this problem, perhaps because the landlord is not a Virgo?
The new entry-level kindle does not have a backlight, so there is no problem with backlight power consumption. Talk about the use of the landlord, from receiving express delivery to submitting evaluation reports this day, the landlord used more than 2 hours a day, rushed once. It may take about 10 days to be fully charged. It is more than satisfactory for Kindle's endurance. Reading about half an hour a day without connecting to WIFI can fully achieve what officials say is a few weeks of life.
V. Comparison with other electronic devices
What kindle appeals to me most is that it has a single function. In addition to reading books or reading books, kindle can, to a certain extent, reduce the reader's distraction during reading, thus improving reading efficiency. Someone would say that kindle is also available on the Internet. I don't deny it, but I definitely wouldn't use this guy to browse the web. Personally feel that in addition to the convenience of downloading the network, there is no other advantage, the Internet is a tasteless.
6PS mobile phone, kindle, ipad
As can be seen from the above figure, mobile phones and kindle are dominant in terms of volume.
To be honest, the landlord never read the ebook with ipad because it was too heavy.
Landlord does not have ipad mini so it can not be compared, but even if the landlord has, the landlord will also use it as an entertainment tool
Kindle and cell phone
Although the landlord will not use the IPAD to read books, but no previous use of mobile phones to see, in terms of physical comparison kindle is a bit wider than the mobile phone, but after the start of the grip is kindle victory. In fact, the kindle and iphone 6plus are also dominant in terms of weight. The measured weight of the kindle was 159 g and 6PS was 181 g. And kindle matte shell will have a non-slip effect, feel prominent.
The Kindle's weight data given by Amazon is 161g. I use the home electronic scale to weigh 159g.
6PS weighs 181g
For electronic devices that require long-term grip, weight and volume are particularly important. The landlord has to undergo an operation in the past few days due to physical discomfort. He will take out a kindle for reading while waiting in line at the hospital and waiting for the result of the examination. Once there was a row of B-ultras, there were more than 200 people in front, and I found a quiet sitting area to sit and read a book. When I waited for the number, I discovered that I had even finished reading a whole book! The whole process of queuing was more than three hours. During this period, I always read the book with my kindle, and my wrists and eyes did not produce any discomfort. With this Kindle's experience, the landlord is more in love with it.
No reflection under strong light
With an official rendering, it seems that you can feel dazzling sunshine across the picture.
Real shot map under bright light
This was taken at noon in my house downstairs. Choosing the right reading angle, the ink screen was clearly visible. This is one of the advantages of kindle, but the landlord is not going to read outside the library during this time ~ ~ ~ eliminate eye injury and personal safety factors, the landlord is even more afraid of the sun.
Six, the advantages and disadvantages of the new kindle
advantage:
1, light hand, the smallest size, lightest weight, easy to carry and hold
2, prevent myopia, comparable to paper, soft eye care
3. Massive book resources, removable pocket library
4, strong endurance
5, low carbon environmental protection
6, easy to operate, support for social account sharing
7, new word prompts, instant translation, article notes function is a good helper to read books
8, no other social software, remove interference, only for reading
insufficient:
1, no backlight
Here need to explain in particular, as an entry-level kindle, this is itself without the backlight. At first, the landlord felt that no backlighting was not a disadvantage, but it was difficult to avoid encounters during actual use. In short, the landlord felt that no backlight was a fatal injury to this kindle.
2, white seams are not resistant to dirty
The white Kindle is beautiful, but it is not resistant to dirt, especially at seams. The good thing is that the white Kindle is not a legendary fingerprint collector. It does not collect fingerprints on the screen and on the back.
3, low resolution
Seven, purchase channels
A new generation of Amazon e-reader Kindle Starter Edition is priced at 558 yuan, a black and white color choices. Consumers can visit the Amazon China official website, Kindle Tmall flagship store, Jingdong Mall, Suning Tesco, Gome Online and No. 1 shop. In addition, the offline stores of Suning, Gome, IT stores and related bookstores all have Kindles for sale.
VIII. Summary and Suggestions
In general, kindle can inspire readers' interest and desire to a certain extent. After all, its function is only for pure reading, no other social media, and allows readers to eliminate interference and immerse themselves in reading. As an e-ink screen reader, kindle personally feels that his functions are powerful enough. Besides satisfying basic reading needs, there are other auxiliary reading functions. Such as new word prompts and translation capabilities, and Amazon's massive library of resources, the kindle is definitely a good helper for learning. I think when the landlord did not have his own mobile phone at the middle school, several e-books were read with the flip GBA, coupled with the lack of e-book resources, sometimes the e-books downloaded into the inexplicable chapters, garbled, miserable .
Regarding the splash screen, the landlord felt that this was a normal phenomenon of the ink screen and did not affect the actual reading effect. In the process of use, the landlord felt that it would be more convenient to have page turning keys, especially when reading books. Looking at other Amazon products, only the other two high-end products have page keys, leading the landlord's heart and grass. The ink screen provides a visual effect that is indistinguishable from that of a paper book. It does not emit light itself, so the presence of the backlight is particularly important when the light is poor. There are four independent production lines at the same time, and they produce four readers for high, medium and low grades, basically covering a variety of people. If you like to read books, plan to buy an e-reader, just buy on-demand, the landlord's advice is to choose products that have a backlight. The electronic screen is relatively fragile. Considering carrying and protecting the ink screen, it is recommended to purchase a protective cover. Usually reading a book is more comfortable with a bare metal touch.
The kindle is easy to carry and you can enjoy reading whenever and wherever you go, because she brings an excellent reading experience, so the landlord is trying to develop a good habit of not releasing his hand. The last thing I want to say is that Kindle is only for reading and you deserve to have
