However, note that the application is not yet available in all countries and neither is in Spain, but we trust that Amazon will soon update its catalog and users can download the app.

    Amazon has shown that selling online is a good deal, that eReaders are profitable, and even placed in the hands of users affordable tablets that target a wide range of content, even has released video streaming with Amazon Instant Video. The next step could be a device that collects the offer and put on the TV.

    The device in question, which for now has no official name, hit the market later this year and would be a new offer for users to consume video through Internet. With this product Amazon come to compete with the likes of Apple through your Apple TV, Microsoft through its Xbox or Sony through their PlayStation.

    By the time the set-top box would be developing under division Lab126 Amazon.

    The fact that Amazon has refused even to confirm the news has put the whole sector to plot the enormous possibilities which could offer the device. Among other things one also wonders whether video, music will be accessible, even games. Others wonder whether the product will be a box, more or less great, or a kind of connector which is behind the TV.

    Kindle Comic Creator tool to make comics for Amazon Kindle - Engadget (blog)

    Comic alt=”Kindle Creator”

    src=”http://img.genbeta.com/2013/04/kindle-comic-creator.jpg”

    Without any fanfare or media communication and having so unnoticed that many of us had escaped last week Amazon launched a free program for Mac and Windows called Kindle Comic Creator. And although his name we could refer to software for comics from scratch, this is not entirely true: it is permitted convert ebooks comics for Kindle.

    Taking as a starting point a set of images, that they are certainly comics pages with several bullets, the program allows us to group them into a file MOBI (or KF8) then we can get on Amazon. In principle, it would seem that there is something that could be done and with other tools. But what’s interesting about this is how easily we can implement what we have called the Amazon Kindle Panel View, and can be translated as “seen by bullet”.

    viñeta”

    src=”http://img.genbeta.com/2013/04/432_660_vista-por-vi%C3%B1eta.jpg” Aerial by class= The ” seen by bullet “makes the reader, instead of seeing a full page, expanding as needed depending on your device, advances in bullet bullet , expanding this automatically. Also called “guided navigation”. The mobile apps you’ve used like Marvel comics, for example, you will know what I mean.

    In this case, the Kindle Comic Creator allows any author to adapt his comic book so that, when read in any Kindle device (from the Fire to electronic ink and mobile applications) , can be viewed using the view by bullet. To do this, the author, once loaded pages, indicate the order in which they will each of the vignettes. This can be done manually or automatically. In the latter case, the function has its limitations and if our comic has irregularly shaped bullets, for example, we make manual adjustments.

    The program allows you to import images in JPEG format class=”caps”> , PDF , TIFF , PNG and PPM . The result is saved in a folder that we can put wherever we want (to start creating the comic, we ask for your location). We will find all the files that make up the comic with MOBI file , which is the comic itself.

    Once we have generated our comics will open automatically in the Kindle preview tool (that comes bundled with the Comic Creator, even if we already have it, we can only lose this). In it, we checked as displayed in any of the readers of Amazon.

    Apart from these, the application has some more features. And also odd error , such as setting the zoom level, there is no way it will work. However, I do take long to fix these problems in a future update.

    Amazon enhancing src=

    Kindle Comic Creator

    puts a relatively obscure and highly specialized in principle to anyone . The program is very simple to use and does not take long to get hold of him. A couple of hours or so of experimentation will allow us to discover and create our first comic. We also have a guide to answer any questions we may have.

    Without being a great tool that allows us to do fancy stuff and very striking results, it is the perfect tool for enhancing publishing phenomenon so well that they are performing at Amazon. The learning curve required to create a decent comic book (and I’m referring to content, that’s another story) drops dramatically with her. If you already have created in the classic comic page format vertical (or horizontal) and divided into vignettes, prepare for reading in electronic format for Kindle will be a matter of a few hours.

    Thus, an author without much technical knowledge can easily place their work which is the reference platform for the sale of e-books, with all that this entails exposure to potential readers . Another different issue is whether Amazon is the most appropriate for the authors because of the fees charged, a garden in which I will not get far. But the good thing is that no tool forces us to board our comics Amazon generated with it, but we can distribute on our own.

    With the advent of Kindle Comic Creator, will we see increasing the number of electronic comics on Amazon? I think so, and especially new authors , you will be motivated to try their luck now that the technical barrier has dropped so much and are given the opportunity to reach a fleet of devices as widespread as Kindle is.

    Sant Jordi: Amazon, Borges and the era of digital books on World Book Day - Qué.es

    In recent years the day of Sant Jordi has a bitter music with the world denouncing traditional book sales crisis and keeps readers in suspense to the industry. But the digital book is the discordant note speech. “We were doing very well,” says Koro Castilian, head of Kindle content acquisition Spain (although, enterprise policy, do not give sales figures). Those responsible for Kindle, reading the Amazon platform, let alone say are the enemy. “The digital book promotes reading.”

    Koro Castilian

    responsible for content adquiición of Spain and Ezekiel Szafir Kindle, Kindle content VP Europe called ‘criris the book’ is an adaptation problem. “We are moving from a model analog to a digital model, these new times are here and the ostrich does not work”, clearly says Castilian.

    display their data argument “people who buy and read Kindle has three times before having it” . “If there is an impact on the e-book reading is that it facilitates” rubric Ezekiel.

    What about the business? ” When you put ebook “or” digital book “the word that suggests Google is still” free “. “Piracy is a problem in Spain, that’s a fact,” says Castilian, but points out that “the first thing is that if I want to read me a book I found in digital”. The price is one of the workhorses. From Amazon recognize that digital book should have an obvious price difference with respect to the print edition. “Our studies indicate that it should not cost more than eight euros”. Furthermore, it claim VAT on paper books. “It is a book”.

    ONLY A BOOK?

    New technologies allow more than scanning text to read on a screen. If today in Kindle and you can adjust the format, highlight and share comments with other readers of the community, the future possibilities are numerous, for example, in terms of multimedia content interaction possibilities. “I do not know where we’ll be in ten years,” says Szafir.

    On the other hand, wants to banish the idea of ??digital books as a cultural product less, and the question of a classical author who wish to edit their work in digital, Szafir, from Argentina, does not hesitate to quote fellow “Jorge Luis Borges. He once said that the great writers have very good critics. however, good writers have many readers . Borges liked what he was telling stories. For a storyteller , for a minstrel, there is nothing better than the dream of digital books. Borges had been a fan of the digital age “.

    Day Book: Encyclopedia of the Mechanics of a teacher to the Kindle and the 'tablets' - Reuters

    MADRID, Apr 23. (Portaltic / EP) –

    On World Book Day seems logical in the traditional paper format more than 550 years ago Gutenberg popularized with the invention of printing. No doubt marked a before and after in the world and was a revolution at the time. After the revolution has ever been another, printed ink gives way to electronics at a time when the book changes day to give more prominence to the eReaders.

    In recent years e-books have evolved to become an increasingly common element in the daily readers. But to speak of what is known today as eBook must go back to year 1949 when a teacher Leon, Angela Ruiz , filed a patent and developed a prototype of their mechanical book , Encyclopedia Mechanics.

    ebook precedent took shape in Ferrol military workshops where she taught inventor. It consisted of a device with reel consisting of two parts . The first was based basic skills in reading, writing, and calculating numbers and alphabets and putting pressure on numbers formed syllables, words and lessons. The second work with coils each of which is dedicated to a subject. The subjects were interchangeable and available book sound, light and magnifying glass . Could be read horizontally or vertically and allowed to have personalized content.

    invention could not succeed due to lack of funding, few believed in the teacher Angela, who not only was the first e-book creator but first Spanish which formalized a patent . The official start of the book was not formalized until 1971 when Michael Hart developed the Project Gutenberg and digitized the first book, the Declaration of Independence of the United States. The young man took one of the computers from his University of Illinois to scan the volume and subsequently received numerous contributions from all those who wanted to continue their project with new titles.

    FIRST class=”ladillo”>

    Since then the project

    Hart, now deceased, more than 40,000 digitized RF titles. In 1993 came the first specific program for electronic books, Digital eBook , which had its first title The Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts, of Thomas Quincey.

    But what was missing was a device to appear comfortable place to read those books, and output to a format with growing variety. The computer or other similar devices were not really comfortable when reading and so in 1998 came the first eReaders history , the Rocket eBook and Sofbook.

    The Rocket eBook was created by NuvoMedia Inc. in two versions, one with 4 MB of flash memory, storage space about 10 books or 4,000 pages and the Pro version with 16 MB memory , for about 40 books or 16,000 pages. The more Softbook had reached capacity and store up to 100,000 pages. Both were expensive and difficult to acquire, and while the Internet is increasingly expanding across households, not everyone was familiar with the digital book format and its possible viewing on other devices.

    Over the years emerge attempts to popularize new eBooks as EveryBook case in 1999 that unlike electronic books, this had two color displays that resembled a book printed.

    I happen

    others like Franklin ebookman, more like a PDA , the Cytalen or Hanlin, but none came to have great success. One of the most serious attempts by incurring the formal market was massive Librié Sony, released in 2004 in Japan and used a rental system instead of buying books. It cost 300 euros and did not have the impact that was expected.

    Nevertheless

    electronic ink was becoming known and the Internet was full of digital books. Amazon soon ran as would one of the leading marketers of eReaders . In 1995 he created his digital book store, the first in the world, and in 2007 took first Amazon Kindle . The eReader had 256 MB of internal memory and the possibility of 4 GB SD card. Its affordable price made it the first device of its kind that had real success in the market.

    Amazon

    has not stopped and is the fifth generation of the Kindle, which did not reach Spain until 2011. It has become the world’s bestselling eReader and can be found for 99 euros on its website.

    have been many companies since then have created models of eReaders such as Sony, Papire, Samsung or Spanish or bq Grammata. The price of these devices is becoming increasingly low and there are some little known brand that can get to be in the 50 euros. That coupled with the proliferation of free titles Internet and low cost of those who are extra, has made many people resort to this type of reading for convenience and savings.

    UPWARD TREND class=”ladillo”>

    evolution of reading and beyond birth and Age Pop ‘tablet’, it is not even necessary to have a proper eBook but through a ‘smartphone’ or an ‘tablet ‘you can enjoy reading portable way .

    In Spain the use of eReaders and ‘tablets’ increasing dramatically. In 2012 there were five million units and sixfold the digital book sales, up from two million euros in 2011.

    Rising eBook reading so far this year has been about 87 percent, which only serves to highlight the change in the process reading and the customs of the citizens.

    such an important day like today where still paper and bindings and libraries occupy the streets of the country , you can not ignore this data and maybe it’s time to wonder if there will come a time when the book Day by Day eBook step.

    The idea is that if we see a website that seems interesting but do not have time to read it, instead of storing it in our favorites and probably lose the meantime we link, we can send our Kindle account and which, in turn, becomes a manageable content reader our e-book .

    Send to Amazon Kindle is another extension that aims at providing us sending our Kindle content while browsing, a button that will be located in our browser and you will press when we stand before a page whose content we are interested and want to read calmly later.

    Kindle Cloud

    Launcher

    Kindle Cloud

    Amazon is a service that allows us to access our Kindle library from the browser, a service which incidentally is available as a Google Chrome app. If we want to have even closer this service, we are able to install a shortcut button as Kindle Cloud extension Launcher .

    Later On Kindle

    Later On Kindle is another resource you submit content to our book reader Kindle and, like others, will give us a button to capture the content of the pages you visit and send it to the Kindle. So what? What’s interesting about this extension? What to bring? Besides sending HTML content, ie web pages, also allows us to send PDF documents to find the net to read comfortably from the Kindle.

    Push to Kindle

    Push to Kindle is another free service to send content to the Kindle from the websites we visit (blogs, Wikipedia, digital media, etc.) and also “embodied” in the form of a button you have on hand to send the contents.

    This extension is interesting because it offers a preview of the content (to see how it would transform the content behind), select the format to send the content (ePUB, MOBI or PDF), send the contents up to 5 devices Kindle or send documents in PDF format.

    Aura Kobo HD is the best e-reader. Kindle trembles! - Tablet Zone - Tablet Zone

    usually Tabletzona you talk about tablets, applications and accessories, but occasionally we allow for other devices that have to do by sharing software, touch control or format. Today I want to talk about e-readers , or electronic book readers . Specifically I want to comment on the growing supply of a brand that is growing strong and well especially in the U.S. but in Europe slowly. We talked about Kobo , that with the recent launch of the Kobo Aura HD looks directly into the eyes of Amazon Kindle and chest out looking for a fight.

    Amazon

    reader today is the king among these types of devices but the format originally put into circulation Sony Librie in 2004, being the precursor of its popular Reader. Kindle does not come out until 2007. The format has greatly influenced what today are the tablets and e-ink technology, more respectful eyes, could break one day in all types of mobile devices with built-in color.

    Kobo is a Canadian company that has launched readers since 2010. It started with a device whose bet was titled minimalism and a better price than its competitors. Another difference is competitive with Amazon accepting the ePub open format . Also can read PDF .

    His relationship with publishers has been more friendly than its competitor and have achieved an equally extensive library of three million books in many languages ??and also more free titles, up to a million. Two years later the company has 4 models for sale, all with free WiFi and touch control . The internet allows us to go to his shop where we buy books and subscriptions to magazines and newspapers . From there we can decide downloaded at any time. By having apps for iOS and Android can access our collection from the phone or tablet , like from computer .

    then proceed to review the readers.

    Aura Kobo

    HD

    Kobo Aura HD

    more recent limited edition will sell for $ 169. This is the best e-reader market , with the most durable screen , after being highly tested. It has a size of 6.8 inches with a resolution of 1440 x 1080 pixels that gives you the definition higher in readers , 265 ppi. Its 1GHz processor makes it really quick and responsive. Unfortunately we can not dispose of it in Spain and its circulation, as indicated has been reduced. However, Aura HD is just the tip of the spear as have other models of the company really attractive.

    Kobo

    Glo

    Kobo Glo

    This is a truly minimalist design with the advantage of having a touchscreen with adjustable backlighting to be able to read in any light situation. It comes in five colors: white, black, silver, pink and blue. It costs 129.99 euros. His opponent would be the Kindle Paper White with the same price but with a lighting technology harmful to your eyes. It is true that the 3G version of Amazon for 189 euros is unparalleled in the Canadian brand.


    Kobo Touch

    Kobo Touch

    the minimalist also have a reader and also with the option to control it by touch gestures. The light will have to put you. So costs just 99.99 euros. His opponent would be the Kindle than with a lower price of $ 79 no touch control.

    Kobo

    mini

    Kobo Mini

    My preferred. The idea of ??a reader is able to carry many books in a device smaller and lighter. This is what gives this device you fit in a pants pocket or shirt . With only a 5 inch screen and 135 grams has the same proportions as a mobile phone or a wallet and has only 4 mm thick . It the smallest and lightest on the market . Yet it is also touch. Its ability to store books is not as big as his older brothers. All devices come with 2 GB of internal memory expandable to 32 GB more for SD. In the case of Kobo mini slot do not have this 2GB card but give us for thousands of books.

    comes in 2 colors, black and white, but you can buy covers that add gray, pink and blue combination. It costs 75.90 euros that make it really attractive.

    You see, this company does things right. Yet has a large distribution in Spain and therefore we could not test your Kobo Arc Tablet interesting. Maybe yes its second generation.

    Kindle Comic Creator is an application to create a comic from scratch but rather to generate the comic MOBI format (or KF8). Thus, if we have a comic in PDF , JPG , TIFF PNG or PPM can convert it to a format better suited for use in any reader Kindle, including Kindle apps for other systems operating.

    With the advantage of being able to use the view function by bullet or guided navigation as well as the call. One feature that lets go automatically expand each of the vignettes go without manually zooming.

    Kindle Comic Creator add the pages and go marking each vignette. A process that can be performed in an automated manner and then correct if it had not detected the edges properly or is different from the established order.

    Finished

    all we can see how it will look in both Kindle devices with color display and the electronic ink.

    Create, edit and publish

    Undoubtedly, with tools like iBooks Author or Kindle now Comic Creator are more people who rush to create, edit and publish their own work in one of the most visited stores, Amazon. Leaving aside middlemen or expensive and slow steps on paper to see his work. Also, with some patience and a scanner is a good choice also to spend your comics in paper to digital format.

    It is certain that the paper still has its appeal but thanks to digital media can not only reach more people but we facilitate access and reading of our work through a variety of devices such as e-books, tablets, mobile phone or your computer through the Kindle app.

    Comic Creator is a free application available for OS X and Windows.
