Recap

James Rollins' new book "The Eye of God", which is the latest in the Sigma Force series, was released in June. However, I cannot recall what had happened in "Bloodline" which was the previous novel in the Sigma Force series. No harm reading Bloodline again to recap so that I can read "The Eye of God". :)

JAVOedge Cases

For protection and style (haha), I am using JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Book Style case (twilight purple) for my Kindle 2. No, I haven't forgotten my Kindle. I am still using it to read my fiction books lol. :)

Since I am very happy with my JAVOedge Kindle case, I decided to get a JAVOedge case for my iPad too. I bought the JAVOedge Poppy Axis case (red tangerine) for my iPad. The Poppy Axis case allows me to rotate my iPad so that I can view it either horizontally or vertically hands-free using the stand which comes with 3 height-settings. Of course, I could also lie it flat and treat my iPad like a book.

My Kindle 2 and iPad side by side :) Don't they look lovely in their JAVOedge cases?

Kindle 3

Amazon has unveiled its latest ebook reader, Kindle 3!

Kindle 3 is now thinner, lighter, faster and better than the existing Kindles. It is only 1/3 inch thick and weighs only 8.5 ounces. It can hold up to 3500 books and documents, which is double the storage capacity of the Kindle 2. There is now built-in Wi-Fi as well as 3G connectivity. Kindle 3's battery life has also doubled, a single charge can now last for a month, with Wi-Fi turned off. It now has a 50% better contrast on its electronic-ink display and a 20% faster as well as quieter page turns. It also has an easier to grip chassis and newly designed buttons and button layout as compared to Kindle 2. Kindle 3 now comes in a new graphite colour option too, other than white.



Kindle 3 looks really cool, huh. :) But for now, I will stick with my Kindle 2 as I have no complaints about it. Besides, my Kindle 2 is more than just an ebook reader to me, it is also a symbol of friendship (remember my friends got it for me? Lol). :)

eBook

I have a Kindle. :) It is a gift from my friends, you can call it an early birthday present lol.

I have the Kindle for about 3 weeks now. Initially I was worried about the glare on the screen but my worries were unfounded. I found the reading on the ebook a breeze. :)
