I like the idea of putting all my books on a single device, but staring at my iPad for hours seems terrible. Books synced on my iPad, phone, etc... seems awesome. But I think I would like e-ink better.

the original is only $70. wi-fi only, no back light.

the original with a keyboard and 3g. no back light.
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Keyboard-Free...=1370270682&sr=8-27&keywords=kindle

paper white, $120. back lit and 8-week battery
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Paperwhite-To...d=1370270574&sr=8-2&keywords=kindle

paper white + 3G $180.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UB7DU6/ref=kindle_dp_comp

kindle fire $200 seems pointless cause I can just read on my iPad if I wanted to read like that.

2nd one down. Make sure you get the case with the extendable light, it's handy.



toggletoggle post by ark at Jun 3,2013 11:04am
e-ink is the best. don't get 3g.

You're you, aaron. You know you're gonna get the best one.

I'm leaning towards wifi paper white. Though Andrews comment is stunningly astute

THE THREAD THAT SAVED RTTP



toggletoggle post by Ancient Master nli at Jun 3,2013 1:55pm
Go for the OG its al you need. Do you really need yet another gadget with net access? The answer is no. What you want is something to read your books on without having to schlep a stack around with you everywhere



toggletoggle post by Ancient Master nli at Jun 3,2013 1:56pm
Not to mdntion the price discrepancy

I thought this thread would be about kindling as in wood, the rev's high tech threads are never about what I think they're about.



toggletoggle post by ShadowSD  at Jun 3,2013 2:03pm edited Jun 3,2013 2:04pm
By the way, rev, did you ever decide on which android to get? I'm guessing you didn't go with my suggestion of Data.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jun 3,2013 2:09pm
I got a galaxy note 2 in November. The paper white one for $120 seems to be the "best" deal since I will mostly be reading in bed with no lights and why get a case with yet another battery to charge when you can get it all in one. the OG is $70 + case + hassle = $120 for the paper white one.

I'm just curious for those with a kindle, do book marks and pages sync between devices? I want to be able to read on the kindle in bed, etc and then also read on my iPad/Phone when I don't want to bring the kindle along.



toggletoggle post by LongDeadGod_nli at Jun 3,2013 2:12pm
I like the paperwhite, very easy on the eyes.

never tried to sync between devices so I'm no help there.



toggletoggle post by ark at Jun 3,2013 3:05pm
rev, i have an OG kindle touch e-ink, i've never connected it to amazon, so i don't get ads or anything like that, dropped a thousand books on it from torrent sites in .MOBI format using this wonderful oss ebook library program called calibre:

http://calibre-ebook.com/

i use it all the time, works OK in low light, i've never used a reading light with it, it's the best thing on the planet to get you to read more with no bullshit attached. i'm like you and hate reading backlit led screens all day.

i use the kindle for everything but textbooks or magazine format stuff, which i prefer hard copies or PDFs for.

I want to read this on the kindle.

plus, I think I can check books out of the library in my town.

The case hooks right into your Kindle and charges at the same time. You just plug in your Kindle as you normally would.

hm... that is interesting.

I'm going to go to the store and play with them.

kindle.. eink not nook.



toggletoggle post by illinoisenemaBradness at Jun 4,2013 7:58pm
fuck that. Just get an Android Tablet and get the Kindle app.
http://mambate.store.rakuten.com/p/android...tive-touchscreen-1gb/250346281.html

A Kindle is essentially an Android anyways.



toggletoggle post by illinoisenemaBradness at Jun 4,2013 8:01pm
If you have a Kindle it will sync between devices that have the app installed. Most of the time it's accurate



toggletoggle post by The_reverend   at Jun 4,2013 8:22pm
You are thinking Kindle fire. I don't want that. I want the eink version.



toggletoggle post by illinoisenemaBradness at Jun 4,2013 8:25pm
ah. You already have an iPad, why not just use the kindle app?
I'd go with the paper-white, 120$ one. My wife got me the Wifi only Kindle, no back light, never use it. If it had a back light it would get used.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jun 4,2013 9:51pm
that is how I'm leaning. I went to target to look at them, but they only have nooks. damn, I should have gone to best buy I guess.

Why would they even make it with no back light? That's foolish.

Far superior for long-term reading vs. an LCD screen, much easier on the eyes.



toggletoggle post by ark at Jun 5,2013 12:47pm
yeah. the og kindle touch has that soothing sepia tone like a musty old book. i'm not sure if i could do the paperwhite e-ink one cause of that.



toggletoggle post by Ancient Master nli at Jun 5,2013 12:54pm
Hit the nail on the head with the battery thing...i can go weeks without plugging mine in. No backlight? GTFO USE A HEADLAMP POSER



toggletoggle post by AndrewBastard  at Jun 5,2013 12:55pm
can you read it at night/low light?



toggletoggle post by Ancient Master nli at Jun 5,2013 1:05pm
You can read it at night, you can read in low light. You can read it on a plane, you can read it on a train.



toggletoggle post by ark at Jun 5,2013 1:08pm
low light, meaning a dim bedroom lamp in indirect light, works OK for me. to the point i can relax my eyes and not strain. it doesn't give off any light on it's own. like an old gameboy.



toggletoggle post by AndrewBastard  at Jun 5,2013 1:09pm
oh ok..i assumed no back light meant you could only read it in a well lit room. like the screen didnt illuminate at all.

if you root your kindle fire, it makes a nice android tab. I just hate that things like angry birds are free on android, but cost $2.99 on the fire.

It doesn't illuminate at all, it's very similar to reading a book. You can get a case that has an integrated reading light.

I went to the store to play with them... the OG seems so kludgey.
I tried to play with the paper white, but it was off.

plus this.

Cool story about loading your kindle with cool stories bro

I read until like 3:30am last night... oops.

I actually might like reading on a kindle more than reading a book.



toggletoggle post by largefreakatzero at Jun 20,2013 9:01am
Yeah, once you get used to them there's not much need to go back.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jun 20,2013 9:27am
I'm loving it so far. I'm going to torrent all the books that have been beside my bed for years unread and then drop off my books to the poor kids.
