Kindle Reviews? You’ve Come to the Right Place!
Welcome to Skeptical Minds, where we give you the good, the bad, and the ugly of every Kindle and Kindle accessory we can get our hands on. We created this site to provide a useful resource to anyone considering a Kindle or Kindle accessory. Unlike other “review” sites, we go out and actually buy the products we review to give you real reviews of Kindle products.
Which Kindle Should I Buy?
This is a common question, and one we answer on our Kindle reviews page. In general, you’ll find that the Kindle 4 and Kindle Touch will be great for reading books, while the Kindle Fire is more suited to surfing the Internet, watching movies, reading newspapers and magazines, and also reading books indoors.
Kindle 4 vs Kindle Touch
The Kindle 4 and Kindle Touch are very similar. They have identical image quality and provide an excellent e-reader experience. The main difference is that the touch screen makes it much faster and easier to take notes and use the built-in web browser. The difference you’ll notice most often is that you touch the screen to turn the pages on the Kindle Touch, while on the Kindle 4 you press a button on the side. Either one will make most people happy, but we show you all of the differences in our Kindle 4 vs Kindle Touch video.
Are the Ads on the Kindle Distracting?
In short, the answer is no. The ads on the ad-supported versions of the Kindle 4 and Kindle Touch are really rather unnoticeable after you get used to them, and never distract from the reading experience. The ads are the equivalent of a screen saver when you’re not on your computer, and the one ad that displays at the bottom of the screen when you turn on your Kindle goes away immediately once you start reading anything on your Kindle.
