Borrow E-Books, No Kindle Required – New York Times

Q. Do you have to have a Kindle to borrow e-books from the library? Can you use a different device or computer instead?

A. While you generally need a Kindle device or Kindle reading app to borrow e-books in the Kindle format, many public libraries offer e-books in other formats that work on a wide variety of devices. Visit the website of your local library to see what software is needed to check out and read e-books in other formats.

Most major libraries have dedicated, easy-to-find sections of their sites dedicated to lending electronic materials — the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library system, Boston Public Library, Louisville Free Public Library, the Salt Lake City Public Library system and the San Francisco Public Library are just a few around the country. The E-Book Central page on the site of the New York Public Library explains all the options for borrowing digital content and has links to the library”s own reading app, NYPL SimplyE, for Android and iOS devices.

Test reader Kindle Oasis – PC Format

to distinguish themselves in the market of electronic books, not enough a better screen, because all manufacturers use the same technology. Not everyone can, however, create a device that will attract the user’s ease of use.

Execute

Amazon successfully changed the proportions of its reader, reducing the height and adding a few millimeters in width. The thickness of the device is not monolithic. Almost all the electronics and battery were in a thicker part of the case (approx. 8-9 mm), which is also a handle, on which the scroll buttons of pages. The other reader is only 3 mm thick. The device keeps very convenient – the center of gravity close to the palm (almost holding hands), and the weight of the reader is a record low, is just 131 grams. Keys can be conveniently controlled by the finger, without disrupting grip. The hull shape makes the device better to hold in one hand. When you see Oasis in both hands, easily inappropriate touch of a screen. Across the housing and the touch screen remain, unfortunately, fingerprints.

Hardware

the Reader has the best screen e-ink Carta, illuminated by 10 LEDs located on the sides of the body. The backlight is fairly uniform and can be turned off completely. Unfortunately, abandoned sensor that automatically adjusts the power of the LEDs. Oasis received a function to automatically rotate the image. When there is a turn adequately vary the functions of the scroll keys.

Built-in battery has a very modest capacity, the reader works without recharging for 2 weeks (previous models – from 6 to 8 weeks). Salvation is the use attached to the device selected cover with built-in powerbankiem that charges the reader. Cover has a magnetic closure, and after closing the touch screen device automatically turns off.

Maintenance

Using reader with the removed cover, it is much less convenient. The reader becomes heavier, the case covers the handle and center of gravity is moved towards the extreme part of the body. It is best to remove the cover on while reading is not a problem, as the mount is magnetic.

Interface Kindle Oasis does not have Polish language version, but even the bad knowledge of English is sufficient for comfortable control. The reader instantly reacts to touch commands. In the process of reading is very easy to change the parameters of text – the number of fonts, their height, the selection of fields and spacing remained at a reasonable level. The appearance of text you can customize for your needs, not tonąc in excess of options. Very useful is the function of page preview and display of footnotes in the window. Effectively works as the search text.

That is not surprising in the case of Amazonu, the reader does not support the popular EPUB file format. Books can be downloaded to the reader via the Amazon cloud or sending to a special email address. The manufacturer has also prepared a program on your PC that will quickly send in the memory of the reader of any book or document, but also through the Internet. To use download files from a USB cable, you must use the free application Calibre.

Have a book in you? Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing authors share self-publish tips – Upstart

Many authors who have successfully self-published will tell you that digital publishing technology has not only democratized the process of sending a book out into the wild, it has also given them more control and more money for their craft.

The latest partner in publishing is Amazon, which long ago shook up the book-selling retail rivals like Barnes & Noble, and now is possible to solve problems in something similar in the book publishing industry, where it has developed tools to help writers publish their own books, including its Kindle Direct Publishing for e-books. The allure? It allows authors to keep as much as 70 percent of the royalties for digital books and 60 percent for print through Createspace.com. It is far more than they would get from a traditional publishing house – which pays about 25 percent royalty for e-books, according to the Author’s Guild. But the catch is that authors are really entrepreneurs, who do more of the heavy lifting, such as finding a line editor and copy editor, choosing and buying artwork, and promoting the finished product.

However, according to a roundtable of leading Amazon independent authors, all non-fiction writers, who assembled at Bryant Park Hotel in midtown Manhattan last week, self-publishing is well worth it.

Included at the table were: James Altucher’ that-author with Claudia Azula Altucher’of The Power of No; Honorée Corder, whose latest book is You Must Write a Book: Boost Your Brand, Get More Business, and Become the Go-To Expert; Hal Elrod, who wrote The Miracle Morning; Pat Flynn, author of Will it Fly? and Guy Kawasaki, best known as the former chief evangelist of Apple, whose latest book is the The Art of The Start 2.0. He also wrote APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur, which is notably about self-publishing. ( See our previous interview with Kawasaki here.)

Since the beginning of November, guests of the University library can admire the documents, prints and drawings, books, manuscripts, and collections that have already been digitized. Two centuries of education in the capital have decided to honor also online store Amazon. At the exhibition opening representatives of the company announced that it would give the library 200 devices e-reader.

readers of the trademark Kindle can use, of course, the students, and Amazon in the next three years will provide the Library of e-books. The debtor will not complain – for every reader, will be stored for six thousand books. CCB will most and only University kindloteką in Europe. However, this support of the most famous online store in the world doesn’t end.

I wonder What Amazon will do for CCB-something more than what is provided electronic equipment. Many valuable books are in the Library, in poor condition and will require digitize.

“

the Company is committed to give them a second life. Thus, they will find new readers that are already in digital form – explain authority-CCB. “

Amazon will give the Kindle readers, but rather, at the end of 2016. As befits a 21. age, e-books, despite the fact that they are in the minority, there is no discrimination. Rules to take them will not be different from the rules for borrowing books traditional, that is, for 30 days, with possibility of extension on the library website.

Amazon may have an ACE in the hole – meet the Kindle in Motion – Antyweb

the Idea of creating interactive, multimedia books is not new. We watched such attempts for many years, but only now the process is gaining blushes. The first of the big Premier was the debut of a series of books about Harry Potter, which became in the online store Apple iBooks Store. Defined it as "enhanced", and I must confess that I was very close to buying the entire collection. It would be nice crazy, because all 7 books are more than 250 rubles, so that when common sense prevailed over emotions, I just have a different profile.

enhanced iBooks from Apple

the world is J. K. Rowling magic and "magic", so live photos and interactive maps with information from the world of wizards is an excellent Supplement. Depending on the preferences of the reader they can bring a lot or nothing at all for the comfort and feelings while reading – without a doubt this is not new at all and hit, especially for the youngest of readers. We don’t know how many were sold, advanced versions of the books with the adventures of a young wizard, but everything indicates that it was not a one-time event. A few days ago in the shop came first contains part of the series Game of thrones, and more will be provided in time intervals.

Amazon and its Kindle in Motion

Even more involved in a project of this kind, it seems Amazon. On Kindle in Motion we had before the holidays, and since the directory giant current 7, moving books. They are enriched with video clips, animations, graphics in the background of the text or even mobile covers. There are no guidelines regarding the structure of the book, so I’m not going to buy, we are not able to say exactly what is inside of in addition reviews from people who already did it and a video showing the part with the add-ons. Look, for example, in Darkness There: Selected Tales by Edgar Allan Poe.

All of the additional elements are an integral part of the file (from 200 to 400 megabytes!), we take a device with a Kindle app (iOS, Android), and all this is only displayed in a vertical orientation, with or without a network connection. We can disable and stop the looped animation. None of the additions have not (yet) available for devices for reading electronic books the Kindle, but the existence of such a category in the store Amazonu may gently hint at the fact that more advanced readers, we shared fewer steps than hitherto, and that these multimedia books are one of the characteristic features of the ecosystem Amazonu.

Kindle in Motion were not presented with large fanfarami, there were no dedicated events or information package. Amazon is not responding even to the questions of the new format, which we can assume that we are dealing with a timid experiment, or… the upcoming big steps premiere. It will happen when the number of books in motion will be a lot more, and among the Kindle readers will appear new model is fully compatible with the new format.

The new Kindle is a real treat for fans of Japanese comics – Spider’s Web

4 GB of memory on the data in the program for reading electronic books is more than enough for 99 percent. users to accommodate a bookcase that didn’t read in my entire life. There remains, however, 1 prov., for whom this is not enough. For them Amazon have shown a new reader – Kindle Manga Model.

32 GB internal memory and faster components. These are the only changes that have occurred in based on Kindle Paperwhite 3 Kindle model Manga Model. This, however, changes in is very important given the market a new reader brought Kindle Manga model is a variant of the Kindle designed exclusively for the Japanese market.

of course, it is a model for fans of Japanese comics, where the built-in 4 GB memory in a traditional Kindle ” is not enough to accommodate the collection of books.

however, amazonowy choice Mang leaves much to be desired (especially when we collect his bones selection of paper books in Japan), but apparently the demand for this kind of comics in electronic form is so great that Amazon decided to meet the expectations of the Japanese customer.

All the volumes of Naruto on the electronic reader? The Kindle Manga Model seems to fit.

Amazon ensures that 32GB internal memory is enough to accommodate, for example, all 700 chapters of Naruto manga at times. Not without significance is also faster hardware – about as normal the Kindle Paperwhite 3 with no problems weaving her way through the books, in the case of manga, there are moments long to think about what I see coming back on the reader, for example, Full Metal Alchemist.

the New components are supposed to ensure that 33 per cent. faster to flip through.

comic Fans outside of Japan have to be patient, or… a little fill.

At the moment there are no plans to Rekindle Manga Model went on sale outside the Country of the rising sun. However, it is possible that copies of the reader will appear after some time in the third circuit, just as it happened with the Kindle Paperwhite 2, for which the Japanese version have 4 GB of internal memory, which can be had after some time to buy, for example, e-bayu.

so, If you are a big fan of Japanese comics and a regular visitor to the bookstore Amazonu, perhaps after some time you will be able to get their hands on a new version of the reader only what is outside of official sales channels. However, this is a small sacrifice, if in return we gain the ability to keep on one device all the chapters of your favorite story.

if for manga Kindle works already for other comics I recommend to look for something else.

Manga is different to other graphics chip, and – more importantly – is usually drawn monochromatycznie, grayscale, multiple pages, published in full color. This makes it 6-inch, monochrome display e-reader is very similar to the one we observed in the paper.

Quite another thing, for example, American comic, rich in color and wydawanymi in large format. From experience I can say that such editions on Kindle (or most other reader apps) does not look good. The exception here is tested by us inkBook 8, but in General, I believe – and I think that our main nerd, Piotr Grabiec, will agree with me – that the fans of American comics will make much better investment in the ipad.

however, If someone reads a lot of manga, new Manga Kindle Model can be a very interesting proposal. The cost is only $ 20 more than the standard Kindle Paperwhite 3, so that remains very attractive.

And the fact that you will need to ask yourself a little more effort to get such a reader… well, for wanting nothing difficult.

however, the proposal for the biggest enthusiasts. As I mentioned at the beginning… 99%. the population will be completely happy, thinking the usual Kindle Paperwhite 3.

That’s something a new Kindle reader makes its debut next week! – Pay’s Web

Usually, Amazon introduced a new device family Kindle without pre-igniting the imagination of consumers, but since most of the companies producing the equipment, struggling with przedpremierowymi flow. Jeff Bezos this time he decided to catch up to the end of the media, and he promised an ambulance premiere readers Kindle the 8th generation.

the device for Reading electronic books is a specialized device that unlike smartphones and tablets practically do not age. Users usually have no reason to change them, while the previous model will not be damaged.

Does not prevent, however, Amazonowi in the presentation cycles of new models.

as a Rule, once a year Amazon introduces new readers for sale. For several generations, the improvements really are… small. The last really significant change was the introduction of the Kindle Paperwhite first generation, i.e. the first reader e-books Amazonu backlit screen.

Since that time, sales were still a few other devices e-reader family Kindle. On sale there is a very expensive Kindle Voyage, higher from it Kindle Paperwhite 3 and budget model in the form of the 7 Kindle without the backlight.

What could be the reader for the Kindle 8th gen?

Jeff Bezos announced a new device in less than 140 characters. For a good cause, we know only that the new device – specific chapters Amazonu right Kindle’em, 8th generation equipment from the top shelf, for avid readers. We can assume, therefore, that Amazon wants to launch the Kindle Voyage 2.

it is Hard to imagine that a new device for reading electronic books can be better than the previous model. In the first edition of the Voyage we already have a screen with backlight high resolution, the buttons for switching pages and light sensor, and that is the part where today, probably, it is not necessary to pay.

I hope that Amazon has an ACE up his sleeve and something we will be pleasantly surprised.

I Noticed after his reading habits that… more and more often to get a tablet instead of Kindle, if I have no plans for several hours of reading. I expect that Amazon will push me again to use with the reader, because the current proposal does not convince me to change wysłużonego Paperwhite.

Still dreaming about e-paper reader with a color screen that I could, except books, read the comics. Amazon took over, however, the Comixology portal, which brings together comics from the most popular publications, but that the acquisition of anything on this issue, unfortunately, has not changed.

in Search of information about Kindle 8 generation came, however, and the announcement of a device called Kindle the Flame, which should appear later this month and use the screen Liquavista. At first even this primaaprilisowy I joke, but this Kindle is constantly wishful thinking.

Internet-users already have their own ideas as new Kindle 8th gen would look like. I will not say… looks good.

Answer:

the Marina

probably not, but let’s leave it already, because this is not the topic of my question – I can’t decide because of the difference in price and lack of knowledge about the functionality of both devices in the translation of the song writer

in order to add the response log.

Kindle 8, ie, starter package for a bookworm – Onet.pl

For a start, a little meat, that is the price. 79,99 euros version without ads (69,90 euros is), that in today’s wind means less than 350 rubles (is 300 RUB). For this money we get a cult reader, which offers virtually everything that four times more expensive Kindle Oasis. Get the system that support the same file formats (MOBI, PRC, AZW, AZW3 (KF8), TXT, PDF) and by the transfer books in Amazon account directly from the virtual bookstore. Where in this case this price?

Kindle 8 a little slower and a little worse made than its more expensive brothers.
