What are the Differences? Kindle E-Readers Explained

Whether you spend a lot of time on the plane or bus, you’re sure to get bored. Sure, you could bring along a couple of hard cover books, like the 630-page-epic Steve Jobs, but it’s a couple of pounds that you’re carrying unnecessarily. With some pretty amazing E-Reader offerings from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, there’s almost no reason to carry around another physical book.

The Electronic Textbook of the Future

Paperback books are soooooo 1990’s! If you haven’t had the chance to read about it yet, you’ve got to see the new Amazon Kindle electronic book reader. This ultra small and thin device looks like an oversized PDA, but packs amazing new technology, which will likely render overstuffed, 30 pound book bags entirely obsolete one day.  Can you imagine replacing all your text books with this 10 ounce machine?

The Lifescribe Pulse Pen, a Cool New Student Tool Just in Time for Christmas

Is a calculator the only cool tool that you can use in school? Believe it or not, the answer is no! There are a ton of other cool gadgets out there that are both fun to use and they can help you make the grade.

I couldn’t help but drool over a new gadget just hitting the market in time for everybody’s Christmas list. I’m talking about Lifescribe’s new Pulse smart pen. Lifescribe took last year’s technology from the Leapfrog Fly Pen and turned it into much more than a toy! The Lifescribe Pulse smart pen is a palm-sized pen computer which scans your handwritten notes as you write them and records the audio at the same time.
The real magic happens when you take the pen at the end of the day and hook it up to a USB docking station. A few seconds later all your notes are moved to the Lifescribe desktop software. Click on a particular section of your notes and you can hear the audio recording that was going on at that exact moment in time–no more confusing lecture notes!
The Lifescribe Pulse comes in two flavors. The 2GB memory version retails for approximately $199.00 and stores up to 200 hours of notes and audio before it needs to be downloaded to a computer. The smaller 1GB memory version retails for $149.00 but can only save about 50 hours of audio.
In addition to the Pulse pen you must use special microdot paper. The pen comes with a single notebook and additional notebooks can be purchased in packs of four at $19.95 each. There have been rumors that Pulse will allow people to print their own paper using a laser printer but as of September, this software is not yet available. However, given the average middle school and high school student is not likely to be filling more than four notebooks a year, the $19.95 paper cost does not seem to be a deal breaker.
