And here I thought it was a special Kindle for babies and toddlers.

I must admit that I refer to my K4b and my Sony 350 as the Baby Kindle and the Baby Sony, particularly when I'm talking to less-than-technical friends - it decreases their stress over that particular sort of technology. Don't ask me why they're stressed about it, but for some reason at least a couple of people are until they have a chance to play with one of my baby readers, which are less threatening.
I think, actually, that part of the stress comes from the fact that there are so many ereaders out there, and at least 3 walled gardens, so when you're buying a reader, you're not just buying the reader but buying into the ecosystem too - and unless you become friends with Alf, once you buy into an ecosystem you're stuck there, and mistakes could be costly, or at least that 's the perception. |

I think Kindle Basic would be a better word than Baby Kindle.

No what they meant was it's the mini Kindle compare to the other Kindles which is true in a sense but kind of silly to call it that. It's really a K4 or $69 Kindle. Some call it a Kindle 4 NT. I've seen some here call it the Basic Kindle. Baby Kindle is just....

It was nicknamed the "Baby" Kindle last year when it came out. It was the smallest and lightest Kindle so far.....and was brand new.
To me it's just as hard to remember this board's naming rules as the other board's. It's too bad Amazon didn't come up with an easy naming system for all the models. |
