Amazon显然还没准备好, KDK已经一年了, 还没放出release版, 又去忽悠tablet去了. Focus, focus, focus呀. 不能看着人家Nook color赚钱就眼红. 不过话又说回来这年头出版业太难了. 也到了有大创新的时候了.

使用技巧

Kindle 如何阅读中文 ——————— 安装多看对于大多数人来说还是太麻烦. 我平时看中文杂志和网站不多, 看中文书用不着折腾多看.

1. 先按”Home”键回到主页面

2. 按”Del” 就会看见 search box, (其实按什么键都行) ;debugOn ~changelocale zh-CN.utf8 ;debugOff

3. 重启: 按”Menu”键, 选”Settings”, 再按”Menu”, 选”Restart”. 重启后就应该可以看中文了.
