the cheaper one shows ads for cereal instead of photos of mark twain as a screensaver when it is off.
i made that up, the ads are for various things, the ad on mine right now is for at&t. earlier there was an ad for amazon visa card or someting. they are not obtrusive at all and they never show while you are4 reading. i am drunk right now it is awesome.
Besides, who sits around and watches the screen on their kindle when they aren't using it for reading??? .... Well I *do* look at it sometimes before I turn it on, because some of the artwork is pretty (even in grayscale) and interesting.
i got a used kindle 2. i use it way more than my ipad since its no longer jailbroken and now rendered unfun. (it was jb for a week then i was forced to update it due to some issue). was awesome til then. so i put this duokan chinese operating system which is open source on my k2. doesnt overwrite kindle firmware so its dual boot. can view pdf, txt and epub and the fonts are clearer. does a lot of other stuff thats fun to mess around with to customize it. only problem w/ k2 is its only 3gb and no memory slot. also you can borrow books from amazon with prime which i have. but only 1 per month.
I know what jailbreaking is, but what are most common things you do with a jailbroken phone or Ipad that you couldn't do before? Also, since the patch fixed the jailbreak, can't you 're-jailbreak' it? Thanks for the info.
lots of free apps and drag and drop files. now its just an expensive reader mostly since i use my laptop mostly. yeah if you saved shsh files you can downgrade to earlier firmware in some instances. the ipad 2 is a lot harder to exploit and now with ios5 apple is locking the hardware so jb wont even matter. its almost time for a droid.
