ebook，問我有沒有見過一些免費的？我問：「怎樣免費？」於是，他給了我這個例子：也許是隔了一段時間，這本書再沒有註明是「(Free Book for a Limited Time) 」
於是，我立刻搜尋一次，看看有沒有其他書，現在是「限時免費」，結果發現了最少一本是類似的：
這本書註明了是「其中一章限時免費」，「Free Chapter for a Limited Time」，而價錢也是寫明了為0:「Kindle Price: $0.00 & includes international wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet」
回說我朋友的疑問，他在看見那本「免費」書的時候，發現了價錢並不是0，而且在加進購物車，也有要求他輸入信用卡資料。現在看來，唯一的合理解釋是，這本書曾經免費，但後來轉回了正價，卻未及更新宣傳文本資的料。看來，大家日後也要注意這些小問題。
為了了解更多，我在Amazon討論區問了其他用家，得了另一些有用資訊，也在此分享分享。那些免費優惠期，可以由數小時至數星期，過了便會變回正價，所以一旦看到便要把握機會。
另外，這些免費書沒有什麼閱讀或時間限制之類，換言之，它與原來那本書沒有分別，大家可以放心下載。
最後，你一定會問，怎樣才可以找到這些書呢？
方法如下：
在Search 「books」，選「Advanced Search」, 再選一個你有興趣的「subject」（不必限制為Kindle books），然後按價錢低至高排序，便可以找到許多很便宜或免費的kindle
ebook了。好用嗎？那就請大家多多閱讀吧！

Hello I'm from Hong Kong and thinking to buy a Kindle. I've got some questions and would be greatly pleased if u could answer them!
ReplyDelete1) can I buy Kindle in any store in HK? Or, the only way being Amazon online? (if the latter's true, how much is the shipping fee?)
2) For specially in HK, which one would u recommend? (the wifi one or 3G+wifi)
Thanks a lot!

I just got one with wifi only. In fact, depends. If you have an alternative means for internet, or high'use ' then with 3G seems better. If you need internet access everywhere then you need 3G. However, if you need kindle as Reader, don´t bother too much 3G. If you need internet online always, or going to spend hours and hours on it, then you may consider one with 3G. If you need peace of mind for reading, Kindle wifi seems sufficient to serve.
ReplyDelete1) You probably want to buy from Amazon, I don't think there's any official store in HK.
ReplyDelete2) I agree. 3G gives a better online experience.
Thank you guys. I already got a wifi one!
ReplyDeleteBTW, do you know how/where to download Chinese classics such as 紅樓夢 & 金庸?
Thanks thanks.
