标题[讨论] Kindle 电子书

Amazon在2007年推出了电子书阅读器Kindle
目前已经造成极大的回响,都呈现缺货状态,原本一台400美金的机器
eBay已经喊价到900美金了
小弟刚刚去翻了一些资讯,发现其实这种东西也算是一种突破
如果可以好好发展的话,也可以成为身上不可缺的电子产品之一
其中最大的特点 就是他的萤幕用电子喷墨式的萤幕
让阅读起来眼睛不会感到疲劳,而且在太阳光底下也可以阅读,缺点是只有黑白两色
而他的Provider就是美国最的网路书商Amazon(地位似乎与台湾的博客来类似)
电子书下载似乎也不是问题,其中这个阅读器内建Wifi
不必透过电脑即可下载最新的电子书
除了Wifi以外,更内建了3G的通讯功能,最屌的是你用3G下载
不用付连线费用,只要付书费就好了
不过这是Amazon和Sprint的合作型态,如果有引进到台湾是不是这样就不晓得了
可以设定自动更新每天的报纸(X的 光这点我就哈到爆了)
想想,每天早上起来,就有中时/自由/苹果/联合/NY times/读卖新闻/TIME可以读….
而且我试过使用介面…不是盖的,比PDA上的Spb insight之类的RSS reader快好几倍
不会有卡卡的感觉,用起来非常流畅,这似乎也是微软作业系统的一个瑕疵
电池时间也是超高,应该是没有背光的关系
容量好像没有SD扩充之类的 所以官方公布的说法是只能放200本书…一大遗憾
大小大约是一本书的大小,重量大约是260g,约是Dopod 900的重量….
可以发送E-mail和图片(没有彩色要怎麽寄图片…)
一本书大约是10块美金,是实体书的1/3到1/2左右
以下附上一些资讯好了

小朋友讨论时间:
大家觉得UMPC or PDA可不可能取代这种产品?或是说学这种产品推出类似的功能?
小弟觉得100%不可能,因为导向就不一样了
就拿耗电和萤幕来说,PDA萤幕大小大约是3”,如果拿到六寸萤幕的PDA还叫PDA吗?
PDA用的是TFT液晶萤幕,看十分钟大概眼睛就累了,看一天大概就可以唱流浪到淡水了
UMPC似乎跟PDA情况类似,但UMPC的耗电….恩…
另外要讨论的是 台湾有没有公司有意愿做类似的东西?
我觉得要做的话,最重要的一点就是要跟博客来合作,另外可以考虑做双萤幕
一边用电子喷墨式的液晶萤幕,另一边用TFT液晶萤幕专门显示图片用
另外,如果加入打逼功能的话…我敢保证卖一百万台都有可能…
价钱的话,最好可以控制在万元左右
来scer,pttdouble,gpc,yLi大 林供跨卖
