As everyone probably knows, a new Kindle was introduced today. The
big change from my point of view is the screen:
Old: 450 x 550, 4 shades of gray
New: 600 x 800, 16 shades of gray
This should improve the display of images. I just finished shrinking
77 images down to the old standard size (leaving them in color), so
this is a little annoying. But it is the story of my life. I am
always chasing after new standards but I never catch up with them,
like a dog chasing a car. Anyway, it will be a long time before there
are significant number of the new Kindle units, so the old standard
will be fine for a while.
I imagine some of the people who bought the old model Kindle are also
feeling annoyed, but this is what happens to people who buy early
model gadgets.
