Kindle Videos & Comparison Chart
Here's a selection of videos that have shown up on the web since yesterday, giving more insight into the new Amazon ereader line. The first is Amazon's new "Kindle Friends" commercial for the $79 model...
Then there's the new "Quick Tour" ad for the Kindle Fire, which shows off the device quite nicely...
And this shorter television ad...
Check out this video for an insightful description of how the new Silk "split browser" has completely changed the future of Internet browsing....
Finally, here's the complete video for Jeff Bezos' presentation yesterday morning. It's nearly an hour long, but it's well worth a watch if you're at all interested in the details of what these new devices can do...
Lastly, here's a nice comparison chart I found today lining up the specs of the Kindle Fire against the iPad 2, and its more direct competitor, the NookColor, which it will all but replace in the market unless the NookColor 2 is utterly stunning - and more importantly, cheap. But don't expect huge price drops to happen across the board: experts are estimating that Amazon will lose $50 on each Kindle Fire sold, a business practice no other company out there can afford, and certainly not Barnes & Noble. And while the Fire has half the features of an iPad 2 (plus a few big ones the iPad doesn't have, like cloud computing and direct access to the biggest bookstore in the world), they're all the features that are used the most, for a fraction of the cost. And let's face it, even in good financial times, price is the biggest factor in almost any buying decision.
