Shop e-Readers and Capilano University have reached an agreement today to bring the latest generation of Amazon Kindle devices to Capilano University’s bookstore. Diligent scholars will be able to read course material, listen to audio-books and make notes on their new Kindle e-readers.
Peter Carotenuto of Shop e-Readers commented, “We are very excited to be working with Capilano University and providing their students with e-readers and tablets not normally available in Canada. Students can carry around their music, videos, e-books and digital textbooks without a heavy backpack weighing them down.” These units will be available in the campus bookstore starting January 2013 and each unit will come with a DVD video tutorial and 100 free e-books.
The Amazon Kindle Fire 2012 model is a full color touch-screen device that provides a tremendous amount of versatility for students’ scholastic endeavors. With a 1.2 dual core processor, this unit makes web-browsing fast and efficient. It has a clear resolution of 1024×600 pixels and high-quality speakers that offer excellent sound for videos and music content. The Kindle Fire enables students to study on the go, without the weight of notebooks and textbooks. It offers the most affordable full tablet experience.
The new Kindle 4th generation, the Kindle Touch, stores up to 3,000 e-books. Users are able to highlight, annotate and synchronize their favorite passages. With a resolution of 600×800 pixels, and an e-ink Pearl display that provides clear text, this device makes reading easy, even in direct sunlight. The Kindle Touch is especially great for students as it is light, efficient and fits within their budget.
