他們有機會錯失了一部好產品。
不說其他,先看看產品的外型,已經十分討好。
有留意到嗎?這可是Graphite色的Kindle! 如果要我在白色或炭黑色二選一,也真是頗難決擇。白色比較優雅,黑色就帶點cool的味道,也計這就是Graphite的吸引力吧。一定要揀的話,我想Graphite有五成機會獲得我(其他用家的)歡心。
當然,外型是一個優點,新Kindle的功能也得以提升了。以下簡單點列出來:
- 對比度提 50%,長時間閱讀更舒適
- 字款更清楚,更好的黑色字體
- 體積少 21%,顯示屏仍有足夠 6 吋的大小
- 機身輕 17%,只有 8.5 安士,比一本書輕
- 容量倍增,可容納 3500 本書
- 翻頁速度快 20%,增加流暢感
除了上述賣點外,最大優勢是可以選擇的新Kindle有三個版本,包括Wi-Fi,Wi-Fi + 3G 和 DX大屏幕,而純Wi-Fi只是139美元,如果是有心想擁有Kindle,方便平時看電子書和雜誌的話,這個價值真是相當抵................玩。(本來有個更貼切、「生動」的字去形容,但還是不說較好,哈哈)
當然,有3G的好處是容許全球無線覆蓋,買書的過程就變得簡單,可以自動下載到Kindle之內。
說到這裡,也就簡單總結一下看法,全新Kindle在價錢和外型討好兩大賣點下,加上功能比起上一代有顯著進步,相信仍能保持優勢,也是我一直強調,Kindle走的明智路線是電子書閱讀器,現在看來,Kindle沒有令人失望。

補充 #1: 新Kindle支援中文. (Support for New Characters
Kindle can now display Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters in addition to Latin and Greek scripts.)
補充 #2:到Amazon看一看,竟然發現暫時缺貨,想買的還是快點排隊....
(2010-08-03)
而且還支持繁簡中文、日韓文等。
ReplyDelete請問如果用Kindle 的3G看Google reader 文字版, 速度可接受嗎?
ReplyDelete原來已經支持中文了嗎, 太好了.
ReplyDelete~~
剛剛特地試了一次,http://www.google.com/reader/m,速度不錯,一頁只顯示10個items,所以應該是流暢的.
順帶一提我用的是上半(?)代的kindle, 相信新玩家會更好.
kindle 3 preview video
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs755bLrOvg
thx for the kindle 3 preview video, it's awesome!
ReplyDelete我比較喜歡它新的5-way control和兩旁的控制鍵, 無異是吸取了上一代用家的意見才出的改進.
補充的日期標錯了啦 2010.08.03才對
ReplyDelete害我以為誤觸時光機
謝謝~已修正. (我是指時光機啊,呵呵)
ReplyDelete請問,除了在網上購買,在香港可以在哪買到此最新kindle?價錢又如何?
ReplyDelete還沒有認真研究過, 應該如果有的話, 價錢也不便宜吧
ReplyDelete相信還是直接上網訂購較方便
想問下你的意見:你認為未來Amazon會推出中文版電子書的機會大嗎?
ReplyDelete現在關於會在大陸推出行貨kindle(金讀)的傳聞鬧得沸沸揚揚,我在想:如果會推大陸kindle,也支持中文,是不是意味著會推出簡體電子書呢?
如果是的話,我簡直沒有理由不買kindle了!
你的看法如何?
請問有人用過這個嗎?
ReplyDeletehttp://netherlandsdaniel.blogspot.com/2010/08/duokan-system-on-kindle-dx-kindle-dx.html
一個可以在Kindle DX上運作的系統
好用嗎?
回樓上:
ReplyDelete你是指多看嗎?改善了Kindle不支持中文和支持檔案不多的不足(還有其他改善),不過裝了多看的機子上不了網(是團隊人員刻意不開發此塊功能,因為內地的美版機器多,怕亞馬遜發現ip地址不對云云)。
不過放心,裝了多看還是會保留原系統的,而且可以選擇以哪種系統預設開機。
想了解更多可以到他們的論壇看看:

都在看書,哪有時間上網XD
ReplyDelete謝謝樓主。這個多看可以輸入繁體中文嗎?
你誤會了,我不是樓主,我也是個路過的路人甲而已~
ReplyDelete因為我還沒有Kindle,所以對多看系統也不是很了解。抱歉未能解答你的疑問。
說到中文版Kindle, 現在看機會較少, 因為Amazon似乎沒有這樣的產品開發路線圖. 參考其他外國gadget發展, 也不太會有中文版(當然亦很視乎中文版是指什麼程度上支援中文)
ReplyDelete至於中文電子書, 要看看amazon與那些大型中文出版商合作. 如果這樣的出版商不存在, 就肯定短期無法實現了.
I don't know why my newly arrived Kindle DX graphite cannot read chinese! All chinese website & chinese pdf ect. cannot be read. Any idea
ReplyDeleteHi WC,
ReplyDeleteCheck this link below, in particular the paragraph copied to here. It suggested how to read non-latin documents in kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reader-Wifi-Graphite/dp/B002Y27P3M
Support for Non-Latin Characters
Kindle can now display Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters in addition to Latin and Greek scripts for certain file types. To view your personal documents with non-Latin characters on your Kindle, send your file as a Microsoft Word document (DOC) attachment to your Kindle's e-mail address ("name"@free.kindle.com). The file will be converted to Kindle format and sent to your Kindle via the Wi-Fi connection and also to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account at no charge. See more details about Kindle’s Personal Document Service via Whispernet here. Loading TXT files containing non-Latin characters over USB is currently not supported as some characters may not display properly.
Yes! I read it already before I bought my Kindle. But this is just an introduction & I cannot get it works. Any people here using Kindle DX graphite & can read Chinese? Pls help.
ReplyDeleteHi. I just bought Kindle 3. It does not fully support Chinese. estimated 3% Chinese are shown in 'square'. I think version 3.0 be too new but not fully compatible. Also, I used Calibre to convert PDB chinese files but not succeed. As I use 'Auto Kindle converter' to convert in 'mobi' but filename is not Chinese title and text is shown I mention above. Can anyone help?
ReplyDeleteI find that my kindle 3 display has some problem....
ReplyDeletewhen I am reading txt, i find that all the words are not "level" , which are not parallel with the kindle....
(some angles of rotation)
Do uguys have the same problem???
THX!!!
I just bought my Kindle from Amazon by using a shipping company in Hong Kong. They help shoppers in Hong Kong to shop anything in the US. The shipping fee is very good. You can take a look of their website, www.bidbuy4u.com
ReplyDelete我想請問大家,kindle fire 在香港用有甚麼問題,因我發現若在網上購買是不能ship到香港的,但其他model就無問題,點解呢?我正在考慮買它送給老公做聖誕禮物,不知好不好用呢?
ReplyDeletehi, 因為它amazon暫時限制了kindle fire的銷售區
ReplyDelete其他model則沒有限制
這2星期剛好有電腦雜誌介紹了kindle fire(水貨)
我的看法它整體上尚算不錯. 10分滿分可以有6-7分
p.s.你對你老公真好 :)
多謝Ken的解釋。我想知它在香港用是不是牽涉一些問題所以沒有在港出售,例如它support的apps在香港不能download或不能做payment等,又或有其他原因。其實我可叫美國朋友代買,就是怕買了後先知原來在香港用有很多限制。
ReplyDeleteP.s.老公是跟我生活一世的人,當然要待他好啦:P
應該是不support買app, 但可以買到書的。
ReplyDeleteKen, 十分多謝你。
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know where to buy the Kindle Fire in Hong Kong?
ReplyDeleteYou can try Bidbuy4u. They are selling for HK$ 1750.
