Amazon KindleFire will Browse at faster rate than Traditional Browser with SILK

Cloud computing is here to stay.  Amazon  will be launching  its newer services  with  the upcoming release of Kindle Fire. Kindle Fire is a new addition to the Kindle family with a vibrant color touch display that offers instant access to the Amazon Appstore for Android,

Beautifully Simple and Easy To Use: Designed from the ground up, Kindle Fire's simple, intuitive interface lets customers spin effortlessly through their recent titles and websites straight from the home screen.

Free Cloud Storage: Kindle Fire offers free storage for all Amazon digital content in the Amazon Cloud. Apps, books, movies, and music are available instantly to stream or download for free, at a touch of a finger. Existing Amazon account holders can sign up for Cloud Drive to store their files on its servers, it also offers 5GB  free storage.
 They can buy between 20GB and 1,000GB of extra storage for US$1 per gigabyte a year MP3 music bought from Amazon can be stored directly on Cloud Drive and played with Cloud player, a Web application that finds , streams and plays music.


Ultra-fast web browsing - Amazon Silk: Amazon Silk is a revolutionary, cloud-accelerated browser that uses a "split browser" architecture to leverage the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud.



Amazon Silk is different in a radical new way. When you use Silk, without thinking about it or doing anything explicit, you’re calling on the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud (AWS)
This allows Silk to draw on Amazon’s cloud  for processing power to retrieve and load a webpage more swiftly on the Fire   , the browser  will  stack to push pieces of the computation into the AWS cloud. This lets Silk do more work, more quickly, and all at once.. For example  ; To load a webpage , Silk decides if the tablet’s power can run it  ,it  determine   the page on its  network conditions and page complexity  before or if it needs to extract  and uses the  power from the AWS cloud to load the page .

AmazonSilk browser software resides both on Kindle Fire and on their  massive server fleet  that comprises the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).


Finally, Silk leverages the collaborative filtering techniques and machine learning algorithms Amazon has built over the last 15 years to power the “Smooth as  silk “ features  
EC2 servers have massive computational power. On EC2, available CPU, storage, and available memory can be orders of magnitudes larger than on mobile devices.
 Silk is  allowed to  access and uses the power and speed of the EC2 server fleet to retrieve all of the components of a website simultaneously, and delivers them to Kindle Fire in a single, fast stream. Transferring computing-intensive tasks to EC2 helps to conserve your Kindle Fire battery life.

Traditional browsers must wait to receive the HTML file in order to begin downloading the other page assets. Silk is different because it learns these page characteristics automatically by aggregating the results of millions of page loads and maintaining this knowledge on EC2.

While another browser on a  different tablet   might still be setting up a connection with the host server, Silk has already with it  new  “ split  Browser “ has already pushed content that it knows is associated with the page to Kindle Fire before the site has even instructed the browser where to find it.

 

 As Silk serves up millions of page views every day, it learns more about the individual sites it renders and where users go next. By observing the aggregate traffic patterns on various web sites, it refines its heuristics, allowing for accurate predictions of the next page request.
 For example, Silk might observe that 85 percent of visitors to a leading news site next click on that site’s top headline.
With that intelligence knowledge, EC2 and Silk together make intelligent decisions about pre-pushing content to the Kindle Fire. As a result, the next page a Kindle Fire customer is likely to visit will already be available locally in the device cache, enabling instant rendering to the screen.
( such  features are truly  exclusive only  with Kindle Fire !)

Only $199: The all-new Kindle Fire is only $199. Customers in the U.S. can pre-order Kindle Fire  at Amazon.com/kindlefire

如何下载iPad的中文电子书应用

随着数以百万计的苹果iPadiPhone热销世界各地,想分一杯羹的应用开发者越来越有创意,开发出了不少能提高人们生活素质的应用。其中包括付费率较高的最新媒体应用,例如GPRS位置,游戏下载,相片分享,音乐下载等等。
众多应用之中,电子书发展迅速。现在人们环保意识提高(例如“绿色生活,拯救地球”运动等等),更多人选择从互联网下载电子书,从而对保护树木和我们的生活环境做出贡献。


有了电子书应用,读者可以方便地下载和阅读各种各样的数字文档,包括报纸,广告,书籍,杂志,指南,甚至是有声书。可以说这项技术提供了一个阅读界面的新标准,只要移动互联网设备在手,高质量的内容就尽在掌握。

 电子书应用的崛起也促使在线书店提供自己的针对智能手机和iPad的阅读应用。这些应用一般都是免费的。例如FBReader, laputa Reader , Aldiko Book Reader, Reader ( Sony ) ,eReader Android , Kindle , Nookbook , Kobo reader,数不胜数。这些内容提供商大部分面向英文读者,也有少数提供中文及其他语种的内容。


 随着应用技术的进步,亚洲地区的出版商已经嗅到这个趋势。科技潮流一代追逐移动互联网设备,时刻与互联网连接并在社交网络上交流。这些用户有不少是年轻的专业人士,他们紧跟数码科技的发展,不介意购买付费应用。



中国潜在市场巨大,电子书出版商已经开发了中文电子书应用,以满足大部分年轻读者的需求。这些应用大多具有双语界面。出版商认为,新的数码科技是一个巨大成就,它能把中文内容带给已经习惯了移动阅读的年轻一代。


中文电子书领域的一个重量级选手是苹果的iTunesiBook商店。iBook商店提供数以千计的中文书。直到不久以前,要想找到一本能够在iPad上阅读的中文书还是比较困难,幸好现在随着中文电子书应用的开发,转换电子书到适合iPad的格式已经很容易。

大部分中文电子书应用的工作原理和Aldiko这样的主要提供商一样,同时提供免费下载。有了这些免费应用,读者可以在苹果的iTunes下载这些应用自己的网上商店商品,电子书,杂志等应有尽有。





近期在香港和台湾,一些中文电子书应用大肆宣传。例如Aidubooks ,  GBbookmall , ehongkong.com , shu-book, JMbookstore , qqstore
这些应用大部分都支持中文电子书下载,繁简互换,横排竖排转换,同时兼容iBook格式。它们在很大程度上是面向iPadiPhone用户的。


爱读书AiduBooks就是一个成功案例。在2010年香港书展上,爱读书展示了它在发行电子书方面的先进技术。在发布了一位香港名流的书籍后,爱读书成功登顶iTunes应用商店“一般类别”最高销售榜。而这一切是在短短四天之内完成的,这充分显示了电子书籍与杂志的巨大魅力。





作家可以选择自助出版电子书

自从苹果公司推出平板电脑iPad,电子书阅读器的主要制造商就开始感受到新兴产品的压力,因为这款产品是移动互联网设备和电子书阅读器的结合产物。有些人认为它们是复制品,但随着市场逐渐开始接受它们,它们已被普遍称为移动互联网设备(MID或触摸平板。

MID提供类似电子阅读器的功能,既是能够阅读书籍、文章信息、电子杂志和iBook格式的小说。同时,它也提供高效、全彩色的网页浏览,以查看不同格式的视频、播放音乐、发送和接收电子邮件,甚至是社交网络。
由于电子书阅读器的主要卖点集中在它的阅读功能,如独家音频读者或以电子墨水阅读工具增强手写功能,数字版权保护(DRM)因此感受到了平板电脑沉浸的压力。一般电子阅读器的屏幕多以黑白为主,缺乏播放电影和浏览网页的功能,因而难以吸引年轻一代的读者。

许多科技娴熟的人尤其偏爱MID因为它们的价格大众化(250美元以内),提供彩色屏幕、3G-无限上网,甚至可以阅读色彩电子书和电子杂志。
传统电子阅读器,如亚马逊的Kindle已经感受到平板电脑的威胁,并认为这新兴产品的竞争将导致电子阅读器的销量逐年削减。分析家预测,Kindle电子阅读器的价格应该少于180美元。对此,亚马逊已经把Kindle新模式的销售价格定在180美元的范围以内。Koboreader也通过几个网上商店销售,并定价于145美元
高科技的消费者一定会从这次的兢争中得到好处,因为他们可以通过许多电子书下载服务网站,如谷歌、Borders.com等下载电子书。为了应付不同的设备,同一个版本的电子书拥有数个不同的格式,并可以通过主要的服务平台被下载。即使是类似iPhone和智能手机的小工具也可以下载电子图书。电子阅读器的种类选择也将因此而随之增加。


随着电子图书阅读器和移动互联网设备的流行,读者和消费者因拥有更多的产品选择,而从中取益。有抱负的作家可以选择自助出版电子书,以帮助改善环境;他们甚至可以轻易的提供打印需求
主要互联网搜索引擎,如谷歌也在2010推出电子图书服务、销售电子图书,令该领域的生产力进一步的提升。电子出版以及与其有经济关连的工业,也从而扩大,并在未来的几年内有极大的发展潜能和空间。


MID和电子阅读器将逐步走向成熟,并发展成为传播内容的重要产品。大众化的价格及低成本的设备,将吸引许多出版商,以开发合适的内容。在这期间,我们所看到的几个趋势将使这些新兴产品进一步的普及化,并在短期内为电子出版带来更多商机。为此,电子出版行业必须寻找新的方式把电子书推向市场,如通过大型图书商店和在线电子书商店,以为这个新趋势做好准备。同时,他们也必须考虑到发生在数码格式的大规模盗版问题。
电子阅读器和电子出版的新技术也让许多有抱负和理想的作者感到非常兴奋。因为他们可以成为自己的出版商,并出版自己编写的书。通过数码电子书,作者们可以书写、创建和发布自己的作品。这,的确是个千载难逢的好机会呀!

电子阅读商务在中国迅速的普及化,主办当局因此推出数码出版和技术的专用摊位。汉王(Hanvon是一间专门制造类似亚马逊电子阅读器(Kindle的中国公司。据报告,它在去年,仅仅的一年以内,就销售了150万台的电子阅读器。Jecomtech销售经理,马丁克说,目前仍是印刷书籍的市场,但他补充说: “但我认为电子图书将会增长。他们的确很方便携带,也有人说,他们更加环保。
