Not bad at all. I can read during the bus ride and have a nice meal when I arrive. 😀 😛

Very nice. 🙂 I guess those e-Reader things are really nice on a bus. 🙂

Yes, you don't need a WiFi connection just to read from them. 😀 😛

You need a WiFi though to get the books though right?

Yes, you need a WiFi connection to buy and download a new book (or new magazine or newspaper). 😀 😛

So you have to buy the Wifi provider separate then?

No, the e-Reader is WiFi enabled. You just have to be in a WiFi zone such as Starbucks or Barnes & Noble or a train station.

Whats a WiFi Zone?

 

[milagros317]

Whats a WiFi Zone?

A place where any computer or other WiFi enabled device can connect to the internet. Many fast food places or coffee shops have free WiFi to attract customers. Also stores like Best Buy and Barnes & Noble have it for the same reason. Many hotels advertise WiFi free to guests (meaning password protected but they will give you the password when you check in).

Cool. But if you want to download from your house lets say you would need a router and a Wifi setup?

Yes, you need Wifi to download and if there is now none in your house you would have to install it there. I do know some people whose neighbor's Wifi reaches their house. 😱

Yes there are a lot of privacy issues with WiFi if you are not careful. 😱
