“true Pole” will always find an excuse to lazy to sit in front of the TV watching some nonsense like “Kiepskich” or another propaganda “Father Matthew” rather than pick up a book and learn something new. So little knowledge łaknącego Nation probably will not find in Europe. All that matters is that the stultifying watch programs with a beer in his hand.

Kindle Unlimited officially presented. Exactly for this service waited – Spider’s Web

Kindle Unlimited today officially debuted. Graphics, which entered the network on Wednesday actually came from Amazon’s promotional pages, which presents a new service designed for customers of Jeff Bezos. I can not wait until I can test it personally, because I had really missed me.

Amazon is expected today officially announced a new service Unlimited called the Kindle. Looking at the description of the product enough to say that the comparison is telling “about the Spotify for books” were confirmed in reality. I am keenly interested in this service.



What it will rely on?

 kindle unlimited 2

Clients Amazon from now will be able to take advantage of new forms of access to content. Instead of paying for each digital book separately – a pact, prices of e-books in Amazon does not belong to low – will be able to read entries from the database of thousands in a single, fixed monthly fee. Unlimited Online Kindle will be a staggering number of positions in a number of 600,000 e-books.

What’s more, Amazon has made available under the same subscription also 2,000 audiobooks from Audible offers (service offering English-language audio books, which belongs to the Amazon ). The icing on the cake is to be a three-month Premium subscription provides access to selected plays and books read by the narrator of the base 150 000 items and a discount for titles not covered by the Kindle Unlimited.

More than half a million e-books and audiobooks two thousand a really powerful database , especially if you compare it with the offer Legimi where a subscription ranging from 7 to 32 zlotys users get access to five thousand digital editions.

Kindle Unlimited fee is just 9.99 dollars., or even less than the number of individual e-books on offer Amazon and comparable to the Polish subscription to the book.

often meet up with offers, where digital edition costs a few dollars and they are not entirely new. For people who read at least one book per month, which interest database of e-books in the Kindle Unlimited, the offer is more than attractive. Yes, ebooks are not permanently assigned to a user account, but let’s face it – for all statistical books, and so the user will not be returned.



Kindle Spotify Unlimited is really for books

Users get access to the database, while the pay for a subscription. The fact that after the cancellation of access to them is blocked is of course understandable considering the price of the service. Favorite books will be able to buy just … like before. The same person listening to music has a choice between streaming and MP3 and CD, so you will be able to choose the Amazon Kindle base Unlimited, buy ebook or paper edition.

It is also worth noting that Amazon is not at all an innovator . Start your Kindle Unlimited has used Legimi to remind you of your own proposal Read No Limit, similar to Amazon’s new service. A similar offer are indeed Oyster (half a million e-books for $ 9.95 per month) and Scribd (400,000 digital editions for 8.99 dollar).



Unfortunately for the competition, Amazon has a dramatic advantage over rivals. The company Jeff Bezos not only provides the service and content, but also created the most iconic electronic book reader.

Kindle Unlimited service is addressed to holders of units because of the Kindle family, or readers, tablets, and – soon – the smartphone.

What’s more, the offer is not restricted to devices Amazon. Ebooks will be able to read the holders of smartphones and tablets with iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and even … BlackBerry. There will also be a problem with access to the collections Kindle Unlimited on PCs, Apple computers – are available webaplikacje and dedicated programs, including Windows 8

Unlimited will not be part of Amazon Prime

Amazon already has experience in subscription services. It offers to its clients at the end of Prime subscription, which offers many perks for an annual fee. Users can then Prime membership will watch the video, recently also listen to music, borrow one book a month from a library of half a million publications and as part of the bonus does not have to pay for delivery of items purchased through Amazon.

Kindle

Unlimited will be a separate service that focuses exclusively on users and applications Kindle readers.

This is a very good step and increases the chances that the service will go to other countries than to the United States. It is possible that we will be able to use it before the company, Jeff Bezos opened a local store for the Polish version of the client. There is a chance that we will be able to subscribe Unlimited Kindle when it hits the UK market.

Amazon again and again has new ideas on how to encourage users to use the e-books. The last great idea was a matchbook, or pinning the user account for free or for a nominal fee ebook, if you bought it earlier paper edition of selected books from the offer. Kindle Unlimited will also be a great service, which I would love to be using as soon as available in our country. The home Legimi I really like, but unfortunately I am a supporter of Kindle readers.



base five thousand Polish or translated into our language books in Legimi No Limit and access in the form of a subscription is really a very good deal – but unfortunately, reading on the tablet is not an option, and I do not see at home a chance to change the reader with Paperwhite on Onyx Boox.

Shopping in Amazon do as often as in Polish bookstores and on some titles I use the synchronization of e-books for Kindle and audiobooks from Audible thanks to Whispersync for Voice.

not only books

No I look forward to the moment when the Kindle Unlimited will normally available in our country without having to circumvent regional security. I also have tremendous hope in the future in the same way Amazon will start offering comics from ComiXology. Yes, now you can take advantage of the Marvel Unlimited for almost any smartphone, tablet, but the offer is limited to only one publisher.

access to virtually all the comics world, and – popuśćmy imagination – Kindle screen made of colored epapieru is something that really count. I hope that buying ComiXology is a harbinger of the work of Jeff Bezos was on such a device.



If the reader associated with the service offering comics for a monthly fee debut is the first I set up a virtual queue.

kindle Unlimited 5

I’m just afraid how we all grow monthly fixed costs, as in a few years all digital content – including music (Spotify today and other streaming services), video (available in our Netflix and other VOD), books (featured Amazon and Legimi), Comics (now Marvel, the future may ComiXology), computer games (both Polish and foreign initiatives), software ( such as Office and Adobe Cloud) – will be available mainly in the subscription.

When you add it all amounts come out of this not inconsiderable sumka, and the good is only 24 hours. When you find all this time?

Amazon Kindle. The end of paper? E-ink displays – Your PC


bit of history

first Amazon Kindle let the market in November 2007, and the interest of customers in the equipment exceeded the expectations of the same manufacturer, because in just 5.5h sold out the entire stock of inventory. The same model again appeared on the market in late April of the following year. He had a keyboard, 6” e-ink display (167ppi, 4 shades of gray), stereo speakers, headphone jack, and the only one so far enabled the Amazon reader SD card memory expansion. Kindle 2 was hatched in February 2009. Equipment was closed in zgrabniejsze than precursor housing, but still with a keyboard and stereo sound, except that there have been several technical changes: more built-in memory (2GB instead of the previous 256MB), an improved display (16 shades of gray, the same resolution and size), faster processor etc. Model DX appeared in the same year, and it really is an enlarged version of the Kindle 2 display offering 9.7 “(in both cases is the first generation of e-ink displays Vizplex) and a few minor additions. Gray DX with Wi-Fi and 3G born a year later – it’s in the refreshed version of the reader for the first time using the second generation of e-ink Vizplex named Pearl. The Kindle Keyboard is considered to be the third generation of the Amazon reader, appeared in late 2010, and clad in a robe graphite and equipped with Wi-Fi and 3G made its debut a year later. The fourth-generation Kindle (via Amazon’s called simply the Kindle or Kindle Classic) was made available to the world in 2011, with the black version of colors a year later.
 

This last is called by some vendors and users as the Kindle 5 (Amazon still calls it the Kindle Classic – and this version is always available). In the meantime, because in 2011, was born four touch modification, called the Kindle Touch (still in the official offer). Kindle Paperwhite (first generation), which is officially the fifth installment of the Amazon reader, appeared on the market in 2012. This is actually a development model, Touch – screen size has not changed, and increased the resolution to 216ppi, and also added an innovative backlight. A year later, because in 2013 Paperwhite released the second generation – the current sales. Was first used here Carta screen instead of a legacy already Pearl, but leaving unchanged the resolution (216ppi). From the information on the Internet can read that in the paper is the third generation of the revised Paperwhite screen no longer Carta, and likely Mobius 300ppi resolution.
 

I think that in the near future you can expect to also touch and the classic version of the reader equipped with an improved screen. On the CPR model with a keyboard and a bloated DX I already did not count.
 The development of e-readers was therefore dynamic, and the future promises to be even more interesting. Flexible screens Mobius offer include higher contrast and much larger than the Pearl resistance to physical damage.
