Yet another kindle query thread

engagefrost

I have read almost all kindle related threads , but none could answer my queries

Can we read NCERT's comfortably on kindle ?

My major question is that can i supplement my paper newspapers with kindle ? because i feel one newspaper is not enough and i have to buy atleast two daily. so in a year 15*300=4500 , I can recover my cost but the question is can newspaper be transformed for reading on kindle
& if not can we read articles comfortable on thehindu.com , ie.com etc on kindle ( IF POSSIBLE can someone show a cap of how a article would look on Kindle) ?????

thirdly paperwhite or simple one ? because someone suggested to buy a simple one and get a 100 rs led light ??

also how is the browser for other websites ?

no....ncert can be read but not comfortably....further it will be pain to open any site on kindle experimental browser....having said that books in mobi and azw3 can be best read on kindle e ink display....no device can match that pleasing experience....i have basic one and never used paperwhite so can't compare basic one with paperwhite

No. You won't be able to supplement newspaper with Kindle. For books you can go for it. Buy paperwhite only else you will always need light source to read from kindle. Every 2-3 months Amazon have offers which reduce kindle price by 1k,keep that in mind if you finally decide to buy one.

Browser sucks.
But for reading lengthy articles, like news compilations etc at Insights, you can use push to kindle app in Windows, Android.

There is also a technique for integrating kindle with Evernote.... and then every article you put on Evernote will be automatically pushed in kindle. People use this method for reading news articles on kindle. i.e. culling good articles on laptop, clipping through Evernote web clipper, and then read all of these on kindle.

By the way, you can convert most of the formats (word, text, html etc) in kindle format by simply emailing to your kindle-id with "convert" in subject heading. It doesn't work with PDF format though.

books for KIndle .
As i got 1000 rs on kindle along with my purchase , I am confused what to buy with it which will help in upsc prep.
As i already had pax indica, india after gandhi , bipin chandra independence , ramesh singh in paper book format .
i am confused what to spend as only limited books are avaiable in kindle which can be used for upsc . So any suggestion ?

or to burn them on novels ?

lol never buying any CB book , After he suggested that rush in airports could be simply countered by just laying two -three more runaways in one or two weeks in one of TOI editorials .

other two books seem good. Any suggestion on world history ?

Empire of Moghuls series has excellent reviews. It's historical fiction, based on facts. And very interesting.
