Kindle DX and Premiere CS4 Tutorial

CATEGORIES: Design Tip of the Day, Living In Layers | RC | May 07, 2009

So it looks like the Kindle DX was just announced recently, and aside from it having a 2 1/2 time the size of the display, its pretty much the same. Now, don’t get me wrong, I think the entire size increase here is great for what I originally thought something like this would be good for – reference books. I was so happy to see that the partnership that they have setup is with Universities. A great thought would be people being able to do University shopping of books and references all in one spot. Back in the office, I spend a lot of time cross referencing books.. dotting i’s, crossing t’s – things like that.. so as much as I love the entire process of sitting back and enjoying a book, I really like the smaller footprint something like this can have. And hey, free Wikipedia at that.. I can’t count the times I’ve gotten lost checking stuff out there. As with anything that’s out, the price seems a bit high for my tastes.. so that’s something that will need to come down a bit before I take the plunge. Definitely compelling though.. at least if all of the tech books I like start going kindle more and more.

How do you guys feel about e-readers? Any good? Find it too much tech for what it’s worth? Let me know on The Twitter Page.. I’d be interested to hear what you think.
