QuestionWhy is the 3 gb paperwhit more expensive than the 4 gigabyte Kindle Paperwhite? If you dont have internet can you still use the 4gb?
- Answer You can use this kindle even if you don't have internet. You need a software called Calibre or an adapter to connect to computer, which will transfer the books to your device
QuestionDoes have a back light for reading at night?
- Answer The Kindle Paperwhite, Voyage, and Oasis all have backlights, this particular model does NOT.
QuestionCan I access a mobile application to access my etext books from my online school website?
- Answer It has a web browser in it but doesn't support ebooks through that. The only way you could view your etext is by downloading it on you computer somehow and transferring it over to the Kindle in .mobi or PDF format
Questioncan books from the public library go direct into this kindle without the need of a computer?
- Answer It depends. Some libraries use systems like Overdrive, which supports this type of Kindle. Other libraries use other e-reader management software, which does not support this type of Kindle. Check with your local library.
QuestionHow long does the battery last on a single charge?
- Answer I have had the batteries last for a few weeks, unless I use it a lot (non-stop for several hours), then I have noticed a decrease in battery life. It definitely lasts substantially longer than when I use my Samsung tablet for reading.
QuestionIs this item refurbished or new?
- Answer I clicked on the link to the kindle. It appears to be a listing for a new kindle. But, Best Buy is your best resource for this. In my experience, listings for refurbished items will include the word refurbished in the title, but I recommend that you either call your local Best Buy and ask, or call the customer service number for their website.
QuestionIf I purchase a new kindle can I transfer the books on my old one to the new one?
- Answer Yes, you can transfer your books to a new Kindle.
QuestionHow big can you make the font?
- Answer You can make the font pretty large! It would be great for someone who usually wears reading glasses, but simply doesn't want to wear them all the time!
QuestionDo I have to have WiFi to be able to use the Kindle? Do I need to buy 3G to be able to use the Kindle if I do not have WiFi?
- Answer No, the Kindle does not require WiFi.
QuestionDoes this come with or without special offers???
- Answer Yes, it has advertisements on the lock screen, and on the bottom of the book listing screen. I don't really notice them whilst using the device. There are none while you are actually reading a book.
QuestionIs this the kindle that has advertising?
- Answer Yes the Kindle Paperwhite has advertising, and you need to pay to get rid of it. It does not have advertising while you are reading, though.
Questionare kindle's like any regular i pads, which you can download an play games
- Answer The Kindle's processor is slow. It is meant for reading only. Though you can surf the web, it cannot handle graphics intensive web sites. You will not be able to play games like in a regular tablet like the iPad or Galaxy Tab.
QuestionWhat are the differences between the B00I15SB16 (6" touch screen with Pearl e-paper technology) model? This kindle counts as a better one(an upgrade)?
