Amazon Kindle: Crash Recovery
Computer crashes are a nightmare. David Berlind shows a video of his Kindle crash and recovery.
What happened next? The Kindle’s screen went blank, then it flashed a bunch of times, then it presented the Amazon Kindle splash screen and then, it booted to the home page where, as you can see, all of my content (admittedly, not much, but I have so far purchased two books) was still there. Cool! The Kindle gets good marks for crash recovery.
Nothing was lost!
My problem with the Kindle is it promotes "whispernet" as one of the main reasons to buy it. You can also use your computer/usb to dowmload material if you are not able to connect via "whispernet". The problem with this is there are some major benefits to using "whispernet" that are not available through your computer/usb hookup. When I look at the availability of "whispernet" I see a majority of area in the united states where it is not available. I see that it is more available in highly populated areas but geographically it looks like it might be about 10%. That being said is amamzon kindle going to look at trying to expand into these places or do you have to move to a major city or college town to get "whispernet".

This will be up to sprint because they provide the connections. I agree that Amazon should consider adding a way to connect to a local route.
