Kindle 3 開箱記

都說考試前向來不務正業的我又開始心散了,竟然會有這樣的閒情逸致來寫一篇開箱文。

話說當各人追捧蘋果系的 iPad 時其實也讓我心癢癢的--畢竟,要用 iPhone 那個小畫面看書的確頗辛苦的;加上近來想著搬家的事,看到一屋書籍便頭痛了--不過由於我只需要一部閱讀電子書的機器,而多姿多采的 iPad 對我來說似乎太 Fancy 了點。加上前陣子看到 Sherry 的博文,促使我反其道而行,訂購了一部亞馬遜的 Kindle。(也幸好從 Sherry 處得悉 Kindle 第三代已經準備上架了,因此我算是剛好趁熱鬧去了)

須知道每年我會到亞馬遜得金貢獻不少人工買書(特別是在香港難找的英格蘭宮廷史--BTW,令我覺得慶幸的是,中大圖書館竟然是唯一找到那本昂貴得要死的 “Elizabeth of York” 之地!),所以樂觀地想,如果能夠把訂書所花的金錢改去訂 Kindle 版,應該可以省回不少金錢(因 Kindle 版多數比較便宜)和位置。

不過後來當然碰釘了:在外地訂購的 Kindle 只能從亞馬遜得金訂書,可是熱愛英格蘭的我多數是光顧英國版亞馬遜的啊!唯有期望不久的將來可以增加藏書量吧!

說回正題,我在八月尾訂購第三代 Kindle(於八月二十七日開售),今天已經到達了。第一本下載的當然是有關「帶領我接觸英格蘭宮廷史的」Anne Boleyn 吧!而第二本留給了我最愛的 P&P 啊!

好,開始看書去了……(果然我是壓根兒忘了考試啊!)

  1. blue: I initially bought a white kindle 3 from Amazon.com, however I found that for international version, only graphite color are available. Fortunately I realized that the colour of the inner side of the cover is also graphite which suited by graphite kindle.

    Wiwiana: 我也是對那個粉紅色皮套愛不釋手呢!看起來不會太死氣沉沉啊!咦,你那台是送貨到英國還是香港呢?如果在英國的話應該比送貨到香港快啊!

  2. Thanks for sharing your Kindle 3 photos. Your pix make it looks a lot nicer than I had imagined.

    P.S. Hard to tell if I will ever like to read books on my iPad as I tend to mark up my books a lot. Thanks to your post, I’ve downloaded a few more Project Gutenberg so I can at least give it a try.
