Mr. Don (Moderator),
-I sincerely apologize to all Americans due to the content of my previous comment. I was not in my good mood yesterday and I don't make comments like that everyday. I recognize that I am wrong.
-You are absolutely right when I wrongly made generalizations about American companies and countries. Well, please, accept my apologies.
-You are absolutely right when you said that doing research about a product is our sole task. We are the ones interested in the product so we need to do previous research first. The thing is that I saw a post here about customization of fonts in Kindle Paperwhite. It is a pity that I thought I could do the same with the newest Kindle. I read somewhere that "improvements were not much, but now the light spreads even throughout the screen." something like that. I thought of minor improvements here and there, but I did not imagine that the 2nd generation would be closed to font customization.
-Well, let me be very honest with our Kindle users. I DO HAVE a Kindle Touch that I really like. The only thing missing is the glow light. In my opinion, it was one of the best devices that Amazon made. Why I say that? Because I could customize fonts, I could easily convert a couple of my favorite books to .AZW format, the screen is not bad and the only thing that I miss is the light, because I depend on an external source to read. Well, at least, I spare the original battery. But, one more thing: Kindle Touch has .mp3 player. It is nice to sit down with just one single device in our hands and an headphone and enjoy a good dramatized audiobook. Amazon sells a large quantity of audiobooks, so, why can't the new Kindles offer us the same experience with Kindle Touch and previous versions of Kindle (as I heard they used to have the same capability)?
-As to country generalizations, Kindle is probably made in China
(my Kindle Touch is).
-Let me again sincere about Kindle formats: In my Kindle Touch, I have books in PRC, AZW, AZW3 and MOBI formats. Although I said that I was migrating immediately to Kobo, it can read only MOBI and ePUB formats.
-Finally, Kindle has a good and simple thing that is password/passcode option to password protect your content. I have not heard of any other competitor in the market that has this important option.
Well, I will reconsider my position and wait for a solution to font customization. It maybe a very simple one. If not, I will pray so that my Kindle Touch lives as long as possible, because I am extremely satisfied with this Kindle version with personal fonts and .mp3. Those who like audiobooks know what I mean. It is a very nice device for that purpose.
