Audible audiobook streaming over Bluetooth will reduce battery life.įully charges in approximately 5 hours from a computer via USB cable Fully charges in less than 2.5 hours with a 9W USB power adapter.

Still no good book reader exists IMO.Amazon's 6.8 Paperwhite display technology with built-in light, 300 ppi, optimized font technology, 16-level gray scale. Kindle might sell pretty well but it's no iPod of books.
A DVD sized e-book reader about say half the thickness or slightly thicker with great battery life, a headphone jack and a speaker without massive bezels, silly chin and with simple software is what's missing in the e-book reader world. A DVD case is 9" on the diagonal and is about the smallest an e-ink book reader should be. A tiny 6" screen for reading books is a joke, sorry.
Would much prefer if they scrapped all of the models and just focused on making one awesome 9" model and tried to bring the prices down through economies of scale, selling just a single model in black and white and one storage size: we're talking books.įurther, another thing Kindle needs is a headphone jack and a built-in speaker like Kindle 3 had. What Kindles have going for them mostly is price, but that really in my mind only applies to the cheapest model. I'd also like to see a slightly thicker reader with longer battery life. If Apple made a 9" e-ink reader (kindles are too small) that looked like the page of a book "Apple Page" or "Apple Book" and had some innovative features such as page numbers (ffs) and the ability to squeeze either side of the page to turn the page I'd honestly buy one. I honestly would like if Apple made an e-ink reader because Amazon isn't great at hardware or software, at least when it comes to Kindle. I do wish Apple would add e-ink tech to iPads but that’s probably hard to engineer.
