Let's make one thing clear. There is no other option for most people in the world like the Amazon Kindle is only available in the U.S. and its always-on connection Internet access is only available in the U.S..
For those living in the U.S. There is now a clear option or a ASUS Eee PC sub-laptop or Amazon Kindle. The Microsoft XP-based versions ESA are a recent addition to the family, until then, both the Kindle and the EEA running on Linux-based operating systems.
The Kindle is a dedicated machine with a few extras. The Kindle is designed to be the reader for electronic books purchased from Amazon. You get a discount on books, but it seems that the cost of $ 399 will have a ling time to recover, even with the discounts on the latest bestselling titles. When you add the cost of paying for blogs and newspapers that can be accessed for free on Internet, then it seems very expensive. You should remember that major newspapers have their own websites where articles and pictures are displayed in color. The sites are mostly available for free. You can get your e-mails on the Kindle, but again you will be charged for the privilege. You may also have an ebook into a Kindle-readable format and will be charged for the privilege. Your Internet access is restricted to within the U.S..
The ASUS is a full sub-notebook. It has installed Wi-Fi so you can connect to the Internet at any Wi-Fi hotspot in the world. If you have an Internet browser. Firefox is the browser based on Linux and see that it is much better than Internet Explorer. You can call your friends using Skype. The Asus Eee has integrated microphone and speakers and a webcam so no carrying around loads of extras. The unit weighs about 2 pounds, which allows us weaker can lead to it. In the version of Linux, the office package is provided by OpenOffice, the open source competitor to MS Office. In the version of Windows is MS Works. A full QWERTY keyboard and a 7 "monitor make a very attractive package. 4G The solid state hard drive can be seen as a limitation, but to make a selection SD cards, some with music, and other books to read and do not find to be any limitation at all.
The battle lines are drawn. Want a full personal computer with a color display in a small size? OK! I admit that the keys are small and close together. Or would simply e-book reader in black and white photographs and graphic images on your newspaper have been removed as the Kindle screen can not display them.
I admit that the Kindle, its new power saving features screen and create an attractive proposition if the price was lower, but since there is no price difference between the Kindle and a fully specified sub notebook PC, even if it is one that runs Linux, it appears contest to be very little between the two.
Quit and find a computer store selling the Asus Eee and have a look at the clarity of the small color screen. Take a look at the keyboard and decide if you can write on the keyboard. Then, find out which of your friends has a Kindle (which is right for people today, the Kindle is only sold online) and see what he looks like and what the results when blogs and newspapers are shown on it.
Take your choice.
