I don't think we need separate forums. Just new Prefixes for the Kindles. The Kindle Fire has it's own section already which is fine with me.

I chuckled when I found this thread today....I too own a K3 and feel increasly confused here as well. I used to look here on a regular basis "just in case" something went wrong with the Kindle or to find new nuggets of knowledge in playing with it, but have found that I don't spend much time or even open up the Kindle forum when I visit MR. I still open up the Astak and Bookwise just to see if there is any new action going on......

The vast majority of discussions here are equally applicable to all Kindle models. In cases where a question is model-specific, the person asking almost always includes the model number in the question, eg "What's the best case for the Kindle Touch?". Such a question would not benefit for a "Kindle Touch" prefix.

Then there would be a prefix for Kindle Touch and the thread topic would them be "What's the best case?". The reason people put the model in the thread topic is because the moderators have fallen asleep and have not put prefixes in the Kindle forum. I've started a thread on this in feedback. Please go and support it. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=164218 |

An example of a question that doesn't benefit from adding touch to the thread title would be something like "how do I create collections?" |

No, you misunderstood me. I meant that it would not benefit from a prefix because the model is clearly identified in the question.

What JSWolf said.
A selection of pre-fixes would simplify selection of threads for those of us with time restraints. |

I personally don't see the need for additional prefixes or sub-forums. Practically all models perform the same functions; the only difference is whether those functions are performed using a physical keyboard, a virtual keyboard, or a 5-way controller. The only real difference I can see is the X-Ray function on some of the newer models, which hardly merits the need for a separate sub-forum in my opinion. Of course, the Fire, which really is a horse of a different color, already has its own sub-forum.

I like obsolete. When most new book titles are no longer being released in paper, I'll probably appreciate PB's better
Quote:
There are a few computer-type items -- certain Palm models -- which sell for more, in excellent condition, today, than when they were new. But, in most cases, computer-type items go down in price when no longer manufactured. The Kindle 2nd Generation is now selling in like-new condition, at amazon.com, for around $105 with shipping. So I'm taking the risk that when the marketplace thinks eInk readers are obsolete, I'll be able to get a replacement for alot less than I paid for the one I have now (K3 3G purchased in 2010). |
