Just one week after Amazon started shipping the Kindle 2, they released the iPhone application in the Apple App Store. The Whispersync technology lets you keep your place in books saved and synced across devices. You now have access to over 300,000 ebooks on the iPhone and Amazon just raised the bar for ebook readers. Check out how Whispersync works and the software on the iPhone.
This video explains how to use some of the Kindle's less well known
built in features such as games, screenshots, google and wikipedia search,
text to speech and other shortcuts.
An extended demo of the Kindle DX, from its debut at the Amazon press conference on May 6, 2009 which shows newspaper articles display, rotating screen, graphs and textbook illustrations, among other things.
Internationally-beloved technology columnist Andy Ihnatko (of The Chicago Sun-Times, Macworld, CBS Saturday Early Show, and other people silly enough to give him a microphone) takes a holiday constitutional through Central Park and talks about Amazon's original Kindle ebook reader.
Thanks to its native PDF reader, the Kindle DX promises
to be a real boon to students, eliminating the need to carry large, heavy textbooks.
Plus, there are millions of PDF format articles and documents available for free download on countless websites across the net. Just download to your computer, transfer to your Kindle,
and read anytime on the go.
A short and sweet demo from the Amazon Kindle DX press conference illustrates how to highlight and underline passages of text, just like an ordinary textbook. You can also make
annotations and sync notes with other devices.
