01 podcast 4. Streich: eBooks
In der vierten Ausgabe des 01 Podcasts - Trendsurfen mit Tim Pritlove und Max Winde - geht es um eBooks. Zwar sind eBooks nichts vollkommen Neues, doch haben die Vorstellung des Amazon Kindle 2 und die Ankündigung des TXTR neuen Staub aufgewirbelt in dessen Unübersichtlichkeit wir uns neu zu orientieren versuchen.
Der Podcast bietet einen Überblick über die aktuellen Modelle, ihre Eigenschaften, Vor- und Nachteile, die Strategien der beteiligten Unternehmen und die Zukunft des elektronischen Buchmarkts.
Viel Spaß beim Hören.

schade dass das wohl erstmal der letzte Podcast war wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe - hat auf jedenfall Spass gemacht und ich würde gerne mehr davon hören (ein wenig geht es ja in die Richtung des CRE aber ist halt doch wieder ganz anders)
Die Entwicklung der Diskussion von Updates der Bücher (immer neueste Version einer technischen Doku oder Gesetzestexte) hin zur Zensur (Schärzung, Löschen von “verbotenen” Büchern) hat mich schon den Atem anhalten lassen. War eine _ganz_ tolle Sendung. Chapeau!
Ok,here goes. I don’t usually write reviews for products.That being said,I do rely heavily on reviews when I make a purchase. Everything from my new car(2009 Honda Fit,which is the BEST economy car on the planet,but that’s for another web site),to a deep fryer….Even movies and books.
I first learned of Kindle while watching Oprah of all things,(I’m Peggy’s husband writing this review)which I never do….I SWEAR!! She was talking about her favorite gadgets,and had the Amazon rep. there. They throughly reviewed the Kindle,and by the time they were thru,I knew it was perfect for my 13 y.o. daughter. See,she reads about 3-4 books a week,wears the library out,and her room walls are covered with more books! We own a small townhouse,and I finally had to tell her to only buy “special books,ones she really had to own. She’s an Honors Student,jumped two grades in school,and is now a freshman in high school,earning college credits.
OK,enough bragging! The cost of the kindle made me wait awhile before ordering it,but Oprah had an offer for two weeks after her show,you enter her name in the promotion code area and you got $50.00 off. So I ordered it and it came in time for Christmas. When she opened it on Christmas morning,she had no idea what it was.I had saved the Oprah show on my dvr,and just played it for her.As the explanation went on,she began to “get it” and held it tighter and tighter! I spoil my daughter,and she recieved dozens of things for Christmas,psp,rock band,etc…. I SWEAR,for the first 48 hours,she didn’t touch any other gift!
Now,my wife starts to look at it,and proclaimed she wanted one for her birthday.So on 12/28,I ordered her one. It came on her b.day in Feb.,and with her being an English major and a school teacher,she too quickly fell in love with it.I must explain,in between the first one and the second one,the Kindle 2 came out,and Amazon automatically sent her the kindle2.At first I thought,wait a minute,no memory chip,no exchangeable battery,a few other diff.’s.But within a day,I liked it way better.
Now my wife and daughter were sitting by the pool reading their kindles,and I commented on how I didn’t have one….. A week later mine showed up in the mail! My sneaky wife had ordered me one.
This thing is amazing!! Things you should know: If u end up like us with more than 1 knidle,any book bought by one can be shared by both,or in our case,all three.They are archived at amazon,just click on archive list,and you can access all books bought,even put on computer if you want.This also takes care of the memory issue with kindle2.If by some chance you fill up your memory,you can delete books from your device,but it will ALWAYS be stored at Amazon for you. Did you know you can access the internet,such as espn,cnn,google,I even access my local paper. Most pics or video does not show though. People comment it can get expensive buying books,and it can,but there are dozens and dozens of books that are free also! Most of the classics,alot of romance and adventure,it’s amazing.Just browse books from least expensive and you’ll see what I mean.ANY SERVICE issues,we’ve had two,are promptly handled by Amazon.When you click on help on the kindle website,it asks you for a phone number,to call you right back.I thought sure they will.I swear,as soon as i pressed enter,my phone rang,it was Amazon and someone in America who spoke English!! Within seconds they reset my kindle and we were done. My wife’s kindle wasn’t holding a charge very long,when I called them,they ALREADY knew about it! How often she was charging it,how long it was on,etc….they promptly sent her a new Kindle2
Sorry for the long review,in short,lol,BUY one,the are worth EVERY cent,you won’t regret it! Oh yeah,spend the extra ten bucks,and get an M-Edge book cover,they are way better than the cheaper Amazon cover.BTW,it doesn’t come with a cover.
