QUOTE(Mr Kong @ Oct 30 2013, 05:14 PM) Hi there, I am just curious do u guys use kindle to read? If yes, how is the experience so far? Do you guys get tired after reading for long hours? If no, then why not? I am really interested in buying a kindle, but I would like to hear from some of you before I purchase it. Thanks. Own Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Keyboard. Paperwhite is better due to the built in light. Used it mostly during travelling, compact and light. However, buying books directly from Amazon need VPN for safety. |

You can do a comparison with Kindle book price and MY book price. Convenient to buy books from your house. But you miss out the paper smell and book display on shelves. Amazon can't sell the Kindle and its ebook to Malaysia. You have to use VPN to cheat Amazon you are at USA to buy book safely. They will randomly check on where people buying books, if they found out they will email you for IC, normally I just ignore them and they won't do anything also. A hassle but not a big problem. Or you can buy Kobo reader which sell books internationally. Google book store also just launched in MY, but no e-ink Android device yet I think. |

QUOTE(Mr Kong @ Oct 30 2013, 07:16 PM) Yeah, i really like the fact the it uses e-ink. But does it strain your eyes when you read it for a long time? Have u tried kobo yourself? Seems like these 2 are the best e-readers around.  Never use kobo before. Another one will be B&N ereader. Should be more or less the same, just buy the one you like, and take a look at the ebook price. |
