I cant understand that why people buy Black/White kindle ?
in the same price one can buy colorful tablet
and buy using PDF reader we can also read ebooks. and can do many more things, ( Games, movies)
than why to purchase kindle?
And one more thing
i want to buy a good Android Mobile phone around 10k.
my main concern is CAMERA,
please suggest me good MegaPixel Camera with very good resolution.
( because mostly android mobile has 13mp but actual result is worse and like 8mp.)

The black and white Kindle will cause less strain on your eyes than any LCD or AMOLED or OLED out there.. Its a pleasure reading on the kindle, feels just like a Book..
Plus, it only costs 5k, for premium support for Amazon Library where you can purchase books for as low as Rs 50..

Kindle is unmatched for reading because of it's eInk display. Plus it's display is anti-glare, making it much more readable outdoors or in bright sunlight.

I was confused between lenovo tab and kindle. Both were costing 5k.
Kindle is one of the best purchase I've ever made. You should go with kindle if you are book lover. You'll know difference.

Very good explanation from [MENTION=110244]Nerevarine[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5007]Desmond David[/MENTION],regarding Amazon Kindle.
But what is the ultimate query of [MENTION=45582]KRISHI101[/MENTION]???

He seems to be interested about smartphones with mobile cameras ,their features,aspects,...

Seems to be confusing with the title thread???!!!

Kindle users here how about getting the PDF's from the so called sources.
Do we have to virtually pay for all of the PDF's with no free versions available and will the Kindle let me read the PDF downloaded from Torrents?

i am not confused. i have curiosity to know that why people buy B/W Kindle while we can buy colorful tablet in same price with same B/W pdf reader..
tablet can has also do same things and many more..
so i dont know that what is the special thing to buy B/W kindle?
its like using a pager in mobile phone age..

Suppose if you are Merchant .. will you create and sell a calculator at a price of laptop...?
and how many people will buy it?

yes sir, you can use your kindle to read any PDFs, from any sources..
But its not recommended to use PDF to read as Text Reflow isnt enabled on PDF format..
Try mobi, epub, or amazon azw.. these support text reflow and reading on them is good..
On the kindle store, there are both paid and free ebooks, you can buy full sets of novels for less than 1/2 price of paper books, or pirate them (i would recommend buying novels you enjoyed)
