Reading PDF magazine on Kindle DX Graphite and Kindle 3 , Is it possible ?

Today I have tried my experiment on reading PDF magazine on Kindle DX Graphite. and the result is ….. Yes, for the Kindle DX Graphite It’s readable maybe as not good as read from your notebook or IPad but it’s readable. For the Kindle, I don’t think it’s possible the screen is to small. If you would like to read PDF magazine on Kindle 3 you have to zoom in and pan so many times. I think it’s not convenience to do that (So it’s yes … technically you can read it but not recommend).

Let’s go back to Kindle DX Graphite. First of all, watch my Reading PDF magazine on Kindle DX Graphite below.

At first in the portrait  reading mode, you might think The picture is  look gorgeous on the screen and perhaps it’s not too bad to read color e-mangazine from the 16 shaded e-ink reader. That was what I’ve think too. and the page turning speed is very fast. no lacking or anything. Until I turned into the article page and I found that the text is not as crisp as I’ve expected and make it’s hard to read.

So I rotated it and tried to read in landscape mode. It’s better but still can not compare to the real e-magazine. (If you are really want to read PDF magazine from your Kindle DX Graphite. I think this is the way).

Especially compared with the Kindle e-magazine it’s a noticeable different about the quality. But the file that I’ve tried was the normal PDF color version which you can read with the PDF reader on your desktop or notebook computer. I don’t know If I’ve read the PDF that made for Kindle version is it make any difference. (And I also think the color of the PDF page layout effected my reading experience – If the magazine page comes in the Black and white base, I think it’s easier to read). So I think this is the reason why e-magazine on Kindle is designed for text based reading.

So, If you are interesting in Kindle DX Graphite and have a plan to use it as e-ink magazine reader. I must say it’s not that good. I’d like to suggest IPad, Samsung galaxy, Toshiba Libretto, many of Android tablets or 7 inch Pocket Edge. But If you are looking for the text base ebook reader, I still think Kindle is the best.

(PS. I took the photo from my IPod touch 4G so the real PDF on Kindle is much more crisp than this)

New IPod touch as ebook reader, Is it possible ?

Due to the released of new Apple IPod Touch, Do you think we can use it as ebook reader ? Yes, possible ! There are major two e-reading apps for you to choose the first one is Kindle from Amazon and another one is iBooks from Apple. I’ve been use Kindle for around 5-6 months with my 2nd generation Ipod touch. I think it’s readable.The application is great I think it’s better than iBooks with touchscreen highlighted, dictionary and touchscreen page turn.

I used it in my bed before I sleep but the problem is like everyone said, the color reading screen can cause your eyes strain and you can not use it for outdoor reading. If you ask me how’s reading on 3.5 inch reading, Is it too small ? I think it’s ok. IPod touch will divided ebook into hundred or thousand of small pages which is make me very calm just read your it without worry about when you are gonna finish it. Here is the Kindle on IPod touch page that you might want to check out If you would like to know more about ebook reading on new IPod 4th generation. (You can get classic novels for very cheap price such as whole collection of Jane Austen for lowe than 2 USD and some are for fee download) And this is the link for full specification of the 4th generation IPod touch which is I think you can use it as a casual ebook reader to seize minutes in your train or before you are sleep. But for the serious ebook reader I still recommend Kindle 3 or Kindle DX Graphite, it’s easier to read on real ebook reader device.

Manga on Kindle 3, is it possible ?

Reading Manga from Kindle 3 is not so popular one of the reason is that Kindle 3′s screen is too small to be Manga reader. You can not read text on the balloon. So that’s why most of people who have a plan to read Manga on their ebook reader has choose Kindle DX Graphite. But is it possible ? Or just another marketing from Amazon.With this video you’ll see Kindle 3 has a decent speed on Manga. But the problem is not about its performance speed but it’s about size. This is the how’s Manga look like on DX. And also this (very beautiful one). So If you ask me I don’t think you can use Kindle 3 as Manga reader, DX Graphite is much better choice.
