And now it's time for Leo's Turn The Table Turkey!

Leo’s Turn The Table Turkey

What a surprise! Leo’s pick this week is a really great one! Leo bought the new low-price, ad-based Kindle. It has a 6" diagonal display that features the most advanced E Ink display, 600 x 800 pixel resolution, with a 16-level gray scale. Leo scrolled through some pages of a book on the Kindle, and even watching it on my monitor, I could see how clear the pages were. Unlike the original, there is no external keyboard, which Leo doesn’t miss. He said you can use the on-screen keyboard for the few times you might want to type, but be warned it’s one of those keyboards where you pick each letter with the cursor, one at a kind. This Kindle is small: 6.5" x 4.5" x 0.34" (166 mm x 114 mm x 8.7 mm) and lightweight at just 5.98 ounces (170 grams). Since it’s wirelessly, no computer is needed to download content. With 2GB of internal storage, you can store up to about 1,400 books. Amazon says a single charge can last up to one month with wireless off, based on 30 minutes reading time a day. Even with wireless always on, it lasts for up to 3 weeks. It fully charges in approximately 3 hours via the included USB 2.0 cable. The low price is based on the fact that you’ll see some ads, but Leo showed us the ads show on start up, and never appear while you’re reading. And the cost: $79!
