Amazon Kindle vs. ASUS Eee
Make one thing clear. There is no choice for the majority of people in the world, such as Amazon's Kindle is only available in the U.S. and always-on Internet connection is available only for the United States.
For those living in the United States there is now a clear choice to buy an ASUS EEE sub-notebook PC or an Amazon Kindle. The XP-based versions of Microsoft IAS is a recent addition to the family, and even then is the Kindle EEA ran on Linuxoperating systems.
The Kindle is a dedicated machine with a few extras. The Kindle is designed for the reader of eBooks purchased from Amazon. You will get a discount on the ebooks but it seems that the cost of $ 399 will have much time to recover Ling, with discounts on the latest titles to hit the bookstores. When you add the cost of paying for blogs and newspapers that can be accessed for free on the internet it seems very expensive. You must remember thatMost major newspapers have their own websites in which they are presented articles and color photographs. Web sites are almost always free. You can receive e-mails on the Kindle, but you pay for the privilege. You can also have an ebook converted to a format readable by the Kindle and you'll be charged for the privilege. Internet access is limited within the United States.
The ASUS is a complete sub-notebook PC. Do you have a Wi-Fi installedyou can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi hotspots around the world. You have a web browser. Firefox is the browser on a Linux-based and you will 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 do not carry around lots of extras. The unit weighs about 2 pounds, which allows the weakest among us can bear. Linux on the desktop package is provided byOpenOffice, the open source competitor to MS Office. In the Windows version is MS Works. A full QWERTY keyboard and a 7 "monitor make a very attractive package. Unit 4G Solid State Drive can be considered as a limitation, but to bring you a selection of SD cards, some with music and other books to read There are no restrictions and can not find at all.
The battle lines are drawn. Want a full personal computer with a color screen smaller? OK! I recognize the keys aresmall and close together. Or you can just an ebook reader in black and white where the images and graphics in your newspaper have been removed because the Kindle screen can not be displayed.
I have to admit that Kindle screen energy saving and new features would be devoted to an interesting proposal, if the price was lower, but no price difference between the Kindle and a fully specified sub-notebook PC even if it is running on a Linuxthere seems to be very little contest between the two.
Go out 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 if you can type on the keyboard. Then, find out which of your friends has a Kindle (it's right people at the moment, the Kindle is only sold online) and see how it looks and what the results are when blogs and newspapers are shown on it.
Make your choice.
