lilclover Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. RIP for your gadget. Sorry can't help you about e-reader. I'm using PC & office's tablet & android phone with dropbox & kindle apps to read. My office lend their ipad to me indefinitely XD coz I use it to work on marketing & social media. The tablet almost being mine now coz it's already 5 years in my hand, oh my time flies. The downside is the tablet is heavy to hold when you're reading in the bed. But I do considered to buy Kindle because of the lightweight, huge capacity & long battery. And Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. is giving us a huge knowledge of Kindle, wow I am amazed of how many gadgets you have girl!! You have 6 phones!!! HOW in the name of goodness you can manage them? Last time I play console game is PS1 & 2. Yeah Sony make many great gadget with a considerable price if you look at the quality. Now I'm interested to visit your house & check all the goodies inside XD and girl you treat all the box very good, it's like you just buy them recently & open it! I have some questions for Racheal about Kindle, please enlightened me. 1. if I only using Kindle to read in the room/car, and not in the bath/outdoor. 2. Can Kindle connect to wifi & browsing? I usually visit some sites to read. 3. Is the kindle battery life is good? Which is the best Kindle version for me? Oasis? And I have a friend that goes to Japan twice every year (btw, she's a japanese sensei) so which Sony e-reader that you recommended? I agree with Racheal!

Racheal Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. I am a collector, so I pretty much keep everything. That why I need a lot of space . My current house is 4,000 Sq Ft > For your questions. 1. if I only using Kindle to read in the room/car, and not in the bath/outdoor. 2. Can Kindle connect to wifi & browsing? I usually visit some sites to read. 3. Is the kindle battery life is good? Which is the best Kindle version for me? Oasis? All kindle models can connect WIFI and there is another option they call Wi-Fi + Free Cellular Connectivity which is 50 more expensive, don't get this one because if you use it for something else beside DL book from Amazon, they will charge you and also when you go oversea they will charge you extra even downloading book from Amazon, so basically it is useless. You can use hotspot from your phone anytime anyway, so just get a normal wifi one. And yes you can use browser, but it is not very responsive, so you cannot easily adjust the font size, so I don't know if it will be very useful. You can also safe the webpage and read it later on your kindle Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. This is the sample of kindle browser Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. for the batteries, yes it is good. Definitely a lot longer than tablet. you can read 8 hours a day with out charging it for a week. if you not really using it, maybe an hour a day. It can go like a month and a half without charging. The disadvantage is you can turn "screen off", but not actually turn it off unlike Sony. and it's not support memory card too. I would say you should go with either paperwhite or Oasis. As I mention voyage is not worth 100 dollar more compared to what paperwhite can do. If you go for voyage, I would recommended you spend 50 dollar more and get Oasis. You will get bigger screen in almost the same size. It's better for reading from the website or PDF. Also the black screen function is really easy on your eyes. You will get the audio function too, and 8GB memory at least, other models have 4GB, and can upgrade to 32 GB only 30 $ more. Also it is water proof. It may not necessary, but I love it, the same reason I love sony phones and tablets.. you can wash them lol I wash them very often> for the basic kindle, I have never had one, so I don't know how good or bad it is, but the resolution is not as good as paperwhite and also no light..The light function is not only useful for the dark environment. It is good for inside the room too. For example glare from the light bulbs, if you turn the screen light on a little bit, it will help with the glare. I hope my answer helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astiara Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. i think you need to install a really good alarm in your house or it will be taken over soon!XDXD i'm curious too! Ok then just another few question about kindle: 1-How does it manage library? Can i create various folder/shelf like i do on app? 2-can install different vocabulary?or impost the site to use when searching for word? Because yeah, unless i shop from amazon, here i find only kindle and kobo to buy. Umm but you said you use sony too which one do you prefer?and which model are they so i can go look? Also thanks to all the others for giving theyr imput! ^^ Ps Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. i told you so many time you are a god, don't step down to human level!

Racheal Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes, you can create collection.. It's same as folder, and one book can be in more than one collection. It's like you create shortcuts. Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. As you see, you can have it show only books, collection, manga, or documents, all the book that you download and added in to you kindle will count as documents. For dictionary, you can add any language you like, and all the vocabularies you search will be automatically add to vocabulary builder and you can look at them all together later or have them show separately by the books you read and it can even make flashcards. Sony is a lot more expensive compared to Kindle. The old version are cheaper now but it's still 295$+ which you can get 32GB Oasis and have 20 dollar left with that price. Beside memory card Oasis pretty much have everything you need now. Sony won't do build in light and also they haven't released international versions for couple years already and the weakest point is you cannot add dictionary.. They are all pre-installed, so you may not get the language you want. The screen and the software is great tho' and the one I have has dual memory card slot for 2 type of memory cards and you have completely control of the device. Kindly you cannot turn it off and you will get ad and promotions on the screen when you're not reading unless you pay 20 dollar to remove it. It do not interfere when you're reading tho' Hope my answer helps Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. , yeah, let's start the cult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilclover Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. thank you for the thorough answer. hmm yesterday I search about Sony ereader, unfortunately it's a discontinued gadget. But I found them in the gadget store at my city. They sell Sony PRS-T1 japanese version about 200$, international version T2 about 270$ & T3 about 370$ PRS-900 about 225$ but it can't connect to wifi network in my country :/ For Kindle Paperwhite 3 cost 260$. For Oasis + Leather Charging Cover - WiFi cost 500$!! so expensive! Hmm, for that cost I can buy good tablet... or rather good laptop @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheal Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. that's too expensive. Paperwhite here is only 119.99 Oasis is 249.99 and paperwhite price is usually down to 89. 99$ for Holliday. Can't you just buy it directly from Amazon? They do ship to Thailand. I don't know if they ship to your country. If you buy it somewhere else beside Amazon. And make sure the oasis you looking at is the new7"..

lilclover Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. Amazon can ship to my country, but unfortunately my country new regulation prohibit international goods if you purchase themselves, I need to ask third party to buy them, and it'll definitely cost more or double the original price. I've got 3 artbooks on hold at the customs almost half a year now TT_TT dunno when it got the green pass. I'll postpone to buy e-reader for now till I got a better solution.

I have this problem with google play - I bought a book there, so I can read it in the app, but I can't download it and put it on my computer for example..

Racheal Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. yes, you can. Install Kindle PC version 1.17 or under and uncheck auto update. Have the book sent to Kindle PC and the book will be save in the computer. Usually it's under document then you add it into caliber[need plug in to be able to remove DRM] then you can covert it to whatever formats you want. Not just kindle, but also kobo too. Mostly If you buy from major online book stores in the US, as long as the books can be save in to computer, you can remove DRM and convert them. Don't buy books from the stores that cannot remove DRM or convert. BTW, no need to get a subscribe, just send me the links of the book you want I will get them for you. Any kinds of book, as long as it included in KU. I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racheal Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. If you have amazon account more than 5 years. They will offer you Installment plan, 5 months without interest. No need for extra document or credit score check, . It is not even 20 dollar a month ^ ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auser Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. when you say Installment plan, what do you mean? paying for the Paperwhite a little each month? I don't believe in debt though, so I think I prefer to pay all in full once:D (tho preferably on sale) and btw, when you say holidays - do Valentine or Easter count? because I'm pretty sure I can't wait till Christmas xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheal Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. Usually every major holiday in the US. I think the next one is President's Day, Monday 19th February, and yes, I mean they will charge you price of the kindle/5 for 5 months without interest.

Racheal Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. tara Sony have everything but no light. They do make light attached to the case, but not built in e-reader. I would say Oasis 32 G is the most nearest what you are expected. I think 32G should be enough even without memory card. I don't know how well the battery can handle the audio part tho' Haven't try it before. and for me, using my phone for an audio book is easier than using e-reader > Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

lilclover Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. apparently the government want to 'extort' us buyers for all international goods, that's why there's the new tax regulation in my country. I don't know what purpose they do that, even though we already had to pay tax for every package when we received them. But now, if I wan't to buy from Amazon or from outer country, I need to have a limited company paper to proceed the customs @_@ ridiculous right, what if I only want to buy a book about plants, then I need to have those paper?! @$$%&@#!! ABSURD REGULATION!! *sorry for the whine, I'm exasperated already* --- updated --- It's like a privileged only to big company for outer seas buying, and the individual like me is kick to the sideways or maybe banish to nowhere.

Racheal Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. it's only 279.99 here for Oasis 32G, The good thing is even if the official price won't go down. They discontinue the old one and release a new version with the same price, so after the new model came out, you will be able to fine the old one cheaper than the current price, or no one will buy the old version > Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.
