亞馬遜kindle設置

We got our Kindle Fire a few days ago, and since then we’ve been poking, prodding, and generally trying to figure out how to break it. Before you go out and buy your own, check out our in-depth review.

幾天前，我們拿到了Kindle Fire ，從那時起，我們一直在戳戳，刺探，并且通常試圖弄清楚如何破解它。 在外出購買自己的產品之前，請查看我們的深入評論。

Note: This review is extremely long, so we’ve split it up between multiple pages. You can use the navigation links or buttons at the bottom to flip between pages.

注意：此評論非常長，因此我們將其分為多個頁面。 您可以使用底部的導航鏈接或按鈕在頁面之間切換。

硬體 (The Hardware)

Once you pick up the tablet, you’ll find that it’s a little heavier than you’d think for the size, though by no means too heavy. The back feels grippy, like it’s rubbery or something, and it overall has a good feel in your hand. The screen has a 1024×600 resolution at 169 pixels per inch, which means text on the screen is very crisp and easy to read, even when it’s very small. The IPS (in-plane switching) tech for the display works well, and you can generally see the screen clearly from an angle.

拿起平板電腦后，您會發現它的重量比您想象的要重一點，盡管絕對不會太重。 背部感覺像橡膠一樣的東西，很抓地力，并且總體感覺很好。 屏幕具有1024×600的分辨率，每英寸169像素，這意味著屏幕上的文本非常清晰且易于閱讀，即使很小。 顯示器的IPS(平面內切換)技術效果很好，通常您可以從一個角度清楚地看到屏幕。

In comparison to the iPad, the Kindle Fire is a little thicker on the edges, though because of the dimensions you can fit the device in a decent-sized coat pocket, or even the back pocket of my Gap jeans… though I felt ridiculous walking around with the tablet sticking out of my pants like that. Being able to put the tablet in my coat pocket definitely makes it more likely that I’d carry it outside the house with me—there’s something annoying about having to walk into a coffee shop with the iPad in hand.

與iPad相比，Kindle Fire的邊緣稍厚一些，盡管由于尺寸較大，您可以將它放在合適大小的外套口袋中，甚至可以放在我的Gap牛仔褲的后袋中……盡管我覺得走路很可笑平板電腦像這樣從我的褲子里伸出來。 能夠將平板電腦放在外套口袋里肯定會讓我更容易將平板電腦帶到屋外—帶著iPad走進咖啡店實在令人討厭。

從左到右：iPad，Kindle Fire，Kindle(3)鍵盤，Kindle Touch

There’s only a single button, oddly placed at the bottom… even though all the other Kindle devices have their power button at the bottom, it just feels wrong for a power button on a tablet to be placed there instead of on the upper right like almost every other device out there. The other problem with the button in that position is that you can’t lean the tablet standing up without the case, you have to flip it upside down. It’s a (very) minor problem that is likely remedied by putting the Kindle in the leather case, but we didn’t have one while testing.

只有一個按鈕，奇怪地位于底部...即使所有其他Kindle設備的底部都具有電源按鈕，將平板電腦上的電源按鈕放置在此處而不是像上面一樣放置在右上方的感覺還是不對的其他所有設備。 按鈕在該位置的另一個問題是，沒有保護套，您無法將平板電腦站起來，而必須將其上下翻轉。 將Kindle放在皮套中可以解決這個(非常)小的問題，但是測試時我們沒有一個。

The speakers are at the top of the device, and they are pathetic. Even at maximum you can’t hear them very well—this device was clearly designed to be used with earphones. There’s no hardware volume controls, which sometimes feels wrong, but since you won’t be getting unexpected (loud) phone calls on the Fire, it’s probably not a big deal. The volume controls are only a tap away most of the time, hidden behind the settings.

揚聲器在設備的頂部，令人討厭。 即使最大程度，您也聽不到它們的聲音-該設備顯然是為與耳機配合使用而設計的。 沒有硬件音量控制，有時會感覺不對勁，但是由于您不會在Fire上接到意想不到的(大聲)電話，所以這可能沒什么大不了的。 大多數時候，只需輕按一下音量控件即可，隱藏在設置后面。

The touch technology is where the device breaks down a bit—as you’re going through the menus, it feels very slightly off somehow, like it hasn’t been calibrated properly. It’s not a problem everywhere, but the carousel navigation that looks so pretty is where you’ll notice it right away: it never seems to stop where you want it to. We’re hoping that Amazon can fix this in a future update, but even if not, it’s not a deal-breaker, just an annoyance.

觸摸技術是設備出現故障的地方-當您瀏覽菜單時，感覺某種程度上略有偏離，就像未正確校準一樣。 并不是到處都存在問題，但是看起來如此漂亮的輪播導航是您會立即注意到的地方：它似乎永遠不會停在您想要的地方。 我們希望亞馬遜可以在將來的更新中解決此問題，但是即使不能解決，這也不是破壞交易的事情，只是麻煩。

Perhaps the most important factor when considering a tablet is battery life, and the Fire isn’t terrible, but you’ll definitely notice that you’re not getting the iPad’s solid 10 hours either. It’s rated at 8 hours of reading or 7.5 hours of video playback with wireless off. The problem with keeping wireless off, of course, is that the device is designed to stream video and other content rather than play it locally, given the fairly small internal 8 GB of memory (6 GB usable) and lack of expansion slots. In our testing, after 4 hours of streaming movies off the free Prime section, the battery life was at 38%. With the Wi-Fi off the battery life is a little better, and you might get a little over 7 hours. In realistic use, you’ll probably be able to use it normally (on/off) throughout the day without a problem.

考慮平板電腦時，最重要的因素可能是電池續航時間，而且Fire并不可怕，但您肯定會注意到，iPad的穩定運行時間也達不到10個小時。 在關閉無線功能的情況下，它的閱讀時間為8小時，視頻播放時間為7.5小時。 當然，由于內部8 GB的內存非常小(可用6 GB)，并且缺少擴展插槽，因此保持無線關閉的問題是該設備旨在流式傳輸視頻和其他內容，而不是在本地播放。 在我們的測試中，在免費的Prime部分播放了4小時的流媒體電影后，電池壽命為38％。 關閉Wi-Fi后，電池壽命會更長一些，而且您可能會得到7個小時以上的電量。 在實際使用中，您可能可以全天正常地(開/關)使用它，而不會出現問題。

A few other notes: There’s no hardware home button. You can mount the Kindle Fire as a drive, and copy any files you want to it easily. It’s also already been rooted.

其他一些注意事項：沒有硬件主頁按鈕。 您可以將Kindle Fire作為驅動器安裝，然后將所需的任何文件輕松復制到它。 它也已經扎根。

The storage seems really small, but when you consider that the device is meant primarily for streaming content, it isn’t that big of a deal.

注意：與具有1024×768分辨率屏幕的iPad相比，每英寸有更多的像素。 沒有麥克風，相機，藍牙或GPS，也沒有3G選項。 存儲空間似乎很小，但是當您考慮該設備主要用于流式傳輸內容時，這沒什么大不了的。

善與惡，無論發生什么 (The Good, the Bad, and the Whatever)

We’ve written up a very full-featured review of just about every feature, so you should keep reading the next few pages. If you don’t want to do that, here’s our overall summary for you:

我們對幾乎所有功能都撰寫了功能非常全面的評論，因此您應該繼續閱讀接下來的幾頁。 如果您不想這樣做，那么以下是我們為您提供的總體摘要：

Good

好

• Price: It’s only $199, less than half of the cheapest iPad.
  價格：只有199美元，不到最便宜的iPad的一半。

Should You Buy It?

你應該買嗎？

It depends. If the form factor is not important to you, you don’t hate Apple, and you have plenty of money, the iPad 2 is a better choice. If you want to read anywhere, including sunlight, you should get yourself the e-ink Kindle Touch.

這取決于。 如果外形尺寸對您不重要，您不討厭Apple，但您有很多錢，iPad 2是更好的選擇。 如果您想在任何地方閱讀，包括陽光，都應該使用電子墨水Kindle Touch 。

Otherwise, the Kindle Fire is a very nice, capable tablet that can do most everything you’d want.

否則， Kindle Fire是一款非常出色的功能強大的平板電腦，可以完成您想要的大多數事情。

Note: we just got our hands on the Nook Tablet, and we’re going to be posting our thoughts on that in the coming days.

注意：我們剛剛接觸了Nook平板電腦，并將在未來幾天內發布關于該產品的想法。

啟動它 (Starting It Up)

The Fire is packaged simply, with nothing more than a power cord and the device. There’s no user manual to read, and you don’t have to plug it into your computer. All you really need to do is turn the thing on, and that’s where you’ll find a very pleasant startup experience. If you bought your Kindle Fire through your Amazon account (as opposed to a gift from somebody else), the setup experience is nearly instant—just connect to your Wi-Fi network, and you’re done. If your tablet was a gift, you’ll have to login instead, but that’s literally all there is to it.

Fire的包裝簡單，僅需電源線和設備即可。 沒有要閱讀的用戶手冊，也不必將其插入計算機。 您真正需要做的就是打開電源，在那您會找到非常愉快的啟動體驗。 如果您通過亞馬遜帳戶購買了Kindle Fire(而不是別人的禮物)，則安裝體驗幾乎是即時的-只需連接到Wi-Fi網絡即可。 如果您的平板電腦是禮物，則必須登錄，但這實際上就是所有內容。

The welcome screens walk you through the user interface and explain how to use the different basic features to get yourself started. It’s not that the interface is terribly confusing—but it’s definitely a nice touch and lends to the overall experience. We handed the device to a non-geek iPad user without showing them the welcome screens, and there was a minute or two of confusion while trying to understand how it all works, so these screens are a nice touch.

歡迎屏幕將引導您瀏覽用戶界面，并說明如何使用各種基本功能入門。 界面并不是很令人困惑-但這絕對是一個不錯的選擇，可以帶來整體體驗。 我們將設備交給了非極客級的iPad用戶，而沒有向他們顯示歡迎屏幕，在試圖了解它們的工作原理時，一兩分鐘的困惑讓他們感到很舒服。

The top navigation bar allows you to access all of your Amazon cloud content very quickly—or access the Amazon store to purchase more content. Whether you head into Books, Music, Video, Newsstand, or Apps, the content is initially stored in your Amazon account, and can be either streamed or downloaded to the device. The Fire is, after all, a portal into Amazon’s content network.

頂部導航欄使您可以非常快速地訪問所有Amazon云內容-或訪問Amazon商店以購買更多內容。 無論您是進入書本，音樂，視頻，報亭還是應用程序，內容最初都存儲在您的Amazon帳戶中，并且可以流式傳輸或下載到設備上。 畢竟，Fire是進入亞馬遜內容網絡的門戶。

The Carousel holds all your recent content, which is a little odd in some ways. You’ll see all the books you’ve purchased, even if they aren’t downloaded to the device. You won’t see all your music here, just the recent music that you’ve played, apps you’ve used, and it’ll show the last web site that you visited. You can pin any of these to the favorites bar at the bottom, which is pretty much how you’re going to access your frequently used icons—using the carousel is more of a novelty than anything else, and as you use the device more you’ll end up not even bothering with it most of the time.

輪播會保存您最近的所有內容，在某些方面有些奇怪。 您會看到已購買的所有書籍，即使它們沒有下載到設備上也是如此。 您不會在這里看到所有音樂，只會看到最近播放的音樂，已使用的應用程序，并且會顯示您最近訪問的網站。 您可以將其中任何一個固定在底部的“收藏夾”欄中，這幾乎就是您訪問常用圖標的方式-使用輪播比其他任何東西都更新穎，并且隨著使用設備的增多，大部分時間甚至都不會打擾它。

Rather than a hardware button, the Fire gives you a software Home button that’s usually on the screen, but more often than not, it’s hidden behind a tap on the screen. This is one of those minor things that very quickly becomes irritating, especially when you get trapped behind a game or app that doesn’t present the home button to you. There’s a reason that button-hating Apple devices still have a home button—you need a way to get back to the start screen with a single press. It’s a huge oversight by Amazon, and hopefully their next tablet includes a button.

除了提供硬件按鈕外，Fire還為您提供了通常位于屏幕上的軟件“主頁”按鈕，但通常情況下，它隱藏在屏幕上的水龍頭后面。 這是很快會變得令人煩惱的那些小事情之一，尤其是當您被困在沒有向您提供“主頁”按鈕的游戲或應用背后時。 討厭按鈕的Apple設備仍然具有主頁按鈕是有原因的-您需要一種方法，只需按一下即可回到開始屏幕。 這是亞馬遜的巨大監督，希望他們的下一款平板電腦包含一個按鈕。

The settings can be accessed by pressing the top right-hand corner of the screen, where you can enable/disable Wi-Fi, adjust the brightness, or manage the volume, since there’s no hardware volume buttons. For the most part, this works out well, but if you’re using a game you’ll end up having to find the volume controls somewhere else. Like many of our gripes with the tablet, it’s a minor problem, but still, these little inconsistencies take away from the overall experience.

可以通過按屏幕的右上角來訪問這些設置，因為沒有硬件音量按鈕，因此您可以在其中啟用/禁用Wi-Fi，調整亮度或管理音量。 在大多數情況下，這種方法效果很好，但是如果您使用的是游戲，則最終不得不在其他地方找到音量控件。 就像我們對平板電腦的許多控制一樣，這是一個小問題，但是，這些微小的矛盾還是會抵消總體體驗。

You can also use the settings menu to force the device to sync or lock the screen orientation. If you’ve got music playing, you’ll see the currently playing song as well as music controls, which is fairly convenient—assuming you’re using one of the standard Kindle apps that allow you to quickly get to the settings.

您也可以使用設置菜單來強制設備同步或鎖定屏幕方向。 如果您正在播放音樂，則將看到當前正在播放的歌曲以及音樂控件，這非常方便-假設您使用的是標準Kindle應用程序之一，可快速進入設置。

Once you’re past the welcome screens you’ll be immediately able to start using the device. The search box allows you to search through all of your library content—that means any books, music, or anything stored on the device, or even the content stored in the Amazon cloud. You’ll find yourself using this mostly to find music, since browsing through your book collection makes more sense by simply clicking Books at the top—that screen is organized by recent books, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll just pin your favorite books to the favorites bar.

進入歡迎屏幕后，您將可以立即開始使用該設備。 搜索框使您可以搜索所有圖書館內容，這意味著任何書籍，音樂或設備上存儲的所有內容，甚至是Amazon云中存儲的內容。 您會發現自己主要是用它來查找音樂，因為瀏覽圖書集更有意義，只需單擊頂部的“圖書”即可-該屏幕由最近的圖書組成，并且如果您像我一樣，將您喜歡的書固定到“收藏夾”欄。

The touch navigation on the device is decent, and often just fine, but sometimes we’ve found it irritating. The most annoying thing on the entire device is actually the carousel on the home screen, which is tuned wrong somehow—you flick it slightly, and it just keeps scrolling. Try and stop on a particular item, and you’ll find yourself on the next item almost every time.

設備上的觸摸導航很不錯，通常也很好，但是有時候我們發現它很煩人。 整個設備上最令人討厭的東西實際上是主屏幕上的旋轉木馬，它以某種方式被調錯了—輕拂一下，它就一直滾動。 嘗試停止特定項目，幾乎每次都可以找到下一個項目。

The keyboard feels just slightly too slow, and while it’s decent in portrait mode (on the left), in landscape mode has a spacebar that’s offset even further to the left, so we found ourselves hitting the period key instead of the space key. It’s not unusable, it will just take some getting used to. You’ll also find that on certain screens, notably the search screen, it’s a little slow because of the page refreshing.

鍵盤的感覺有點太慢，雖然在縱向模式下(左側)很不錯，但在橫向模式下卻有一個空格鍵，該空格鍵向左偏移得更遠，因此我們發現自己敲了句號鍵而不是空格鍵。 這不是不可用的，只是需要一些習慣。 您還會發現在某些屏幕上，特別是在搜索屏幕上，由于頁面刷新，它有點慢。

Unlike most Android devices, you don’t swipe down to get to the Notifications pane—instead, you’ll see a count in the upper left with the number of notifications you currently have, and you have to tap to bring down the pane. This works alright most of the time, though definitely makes it a bit less user-friendly. If you have a number of applications open and music playing, the count will include both ongoing tasks as well as notifications, making it confusing to understand whether that count means you have a new notification or not. Most Android devices get around this confusion by placing icons in the upper left, but you won’t see that here. And yes, just like any Kindle device, you can transfer files to the device by simply plugging it into a computer, where it’s mounted as a drive.

與大多數Android設備不同，您無需向下滑動即可進入“通知”窗格-相反，您會在左上角看到一個計數，其中包含當前擁有的通知數量，而您必須點擊以拉下該窗格。 在大多數情況下，這種方法都可以正常工作，盡管絕對會使用戶友好程度降低。 如果您有許多正在打開的應用程序并正在播放音樂，則該計數將同時包含正在進行的任務和通知，這使您難以理解該計數是否意味著您有新的通知。 大多數Android設備通過在左上角放置圖標來避免這種混亂，但是您在這里看不到它。 是的，就像任何Kindle設備一樣，您只需將其插入安裝為驅動器的計算機即可將文件傳輸到該設備。

Kindle 3 owners will be thrilled to see that the lock screensavers are pleasant—there’s no more scary pictures of Emily Dickinson to be forced to look at. There’s one oddity: it doesn’t matter what orientation you’re holding the device, the lock screen will always be the same. So even if you’re using the Fire in landscape mode, you’ll have to unlock via portrait. It’s not really a problem, just interesting, since the device allows you to rotate it completely upside down, and it’ll flip the screen for you.

Kindle 3擁有者很高興看到鎖定屏幕保護程序令人愉悅-不再有被強迫看待的Emily Dickinson恐怖照片。 有一個奇怪的地方：握住設備的方向無關緊要，鎖定屏幕將始終相同。 因此，即使您在橫向模式下使用Fire，也必須通過人像解鎖。 這并不是真正的問題，只是有趣，因為該設備允許您將其完全上下翻轉，并且可以為您翻轉屏幕。

使用Kindle進行閱讀(Using the Kindle for Reading)

Just like every other Kindle, the Fire has a solid reading experience. Head to the Books section, and you’ll see a fairly standard bookshelf view with all of your purchased books. You can quickly download any of the books to the device, and start reading them right away. If you’ve got a large number of books in your collection, it’s definitely a lot easier to navigate with touch rather than using buttons or the e-ink display on the previous devices.

就像其他所有Kindle一樣，Fire擁有扎實的閱讀體驗。 轉到“圖書”部分，您會看到所有購買的圖書都具有相當標準的書架視圖。 您可以將任何書籍快速下載到設備上，并立即開始閱讀。 如果您的藏書中有大量書籍，那么觸摸操作絕對比使用以前的設備上的按鈕或電子墨水顯示器要容易得多。

When you get to the actual reading view, it’s presented full-screen with a flick to switch pages, which works pretty well unless you’re very quickly going through the pages, where you’ll notice a little bit of a stutter, but it works well overall. Tapping the screen will show you the controls view, which lets you quickly page through the book, search, change the font size, or access the menu.

當您進入實際的閱讀視圖時，它會全屏顯示，并帶有輕拂以切換頁面的效果，除非您很快瀏覽所有頁面，否則效果會很好，但您會發現其中有些斷斷續續，但是總體上運作良好。 輕擊屏幕將顯示控件視圖，使您可以快速翻閱本書，搜索，更改字體大小或訪問菜單。

The navigation menu is one area where the Fire definitely is a big improvement over the e-ink Kindles—you can easily get to anywhere in the book, including all of your bookmarks and notes, which show up right there on the screen. Extremely useful for non-fiction books you might have marked up with a ton of notes. Which brings us to a good point—the Fire is a lot better for non-fiction in general, since you might want to quickly flip through to a section, or re-open them on a regular basis.

導航菜單是Fire絕對比電子墨水Kindle有了很大改進的地方-您可以輕松地到達書中的任何地方，包括所有書簽和便箋，這些便箋都顯示在屏幕上。 對于非小說類書籍，這可能非常有用，您可能在其中標記了很多筆記。 這給我們帶來了一個好點-一般而言，Fire對于非小說類來說要好得多，因為您可能想快速翻閱某個部分，或者定期重新打開它們。

在Kindle上播放音樂 (Playing Music on the Kindle)

If you’ve used Amazon’s Cloud Player on the web or any other device, you’ll be familiar with the experience on the Kindle Fire. You can access your entire music collection, stream it off their servers, download to cache on the device, or buy new music in the store. The player works well in either landscape or portrait mode, and you can play music in the background.

如果您在網絡或任何其他設備上使用過Amazon的Cloud Player，您將熟悉Kindle Fire上的體驗。 您可以訪問整個音樂收藏，將其從服務器流式傳輸，下載到設備上的緩存中，或在商店中購買新音樂。 該播放器在橫向或縱向模式下均可正常工作，并且您可以在后臺播放音樂。

Purchasing music is almost too simple—once you search the store for what you’re looking for, click buy, and it’ll be delivered to your cloud drive instantly. You can head to one of the albums and start playing right away, or download it to the device.

購買音樂幾乎太簡單了—一旦您在商店中搜索所需內容，然后單擊“購買”，音樂便會立即傳送到您的云驅動器中。 您可以轉到其中一張專輯并立即開始播放，也可以將其下載到設備上。

Being able to listen to music on the same device you’re reading a book is really pretty useful, especially if you’re taking the Fire on a plane.

能夠在閱讀書籍的同一設備上聆聽音樂確實非常有用，尤其是當您在飛機上坐火時。

流(和下載)視頻 (Streaming (and Downloading) Video)

Head to the Video section, and if you’re a Prime member you’ll immediately have access to a large collection of free video that can be streamed to the device. This includes shows like Lost and The Wonder Years along with many others. If that doesn’t fit the bill, there’s also a much larger number of videos that can be rented or purchased, though it’s a little inconsistent—some titles can only be rented, some are 24 hours, and some are 48 hours.

轉到“視頻”部分，如果您是Prime會員，則可以立即訪問可以流式傳輸到設備的大量免費視頻。 這包括像《迷失》和《神奇年代》之類的節目，還有許多其他節目。 如果這不符合要求，則可以租借或購買更多視頻，盡管這有點不一致-有些影片只能租借，有些是24小時，有些是48小時。

The Fire can’t play real HD video, at least not according to Amazon’s specifications—what’s interesting is that if you click to see compatible devices, the Fire is listed there. The standard video, however, looks great on the screen, and is presented in widescreen format. If you rent something in HD, you can watch on the Fire in standard def, or watch it on your computer or TV in high def instead.

Fire不能播放真正的高清視頻，至少不能按照亞馬遜的規格播放-有趣的是，如果單擊以查看兼容的設備，Fire就會在此處列出。 但是，標準視頻在屏幕上看起來不錯，并且以寬屏格式顯示。 如果您以HD高畫質租借東西，則可以在標清電視上觀看Fire，也可以在高清電視上在計算機或電視上觀看。

Downloading

正在下載

If you rent or purchase a movie or TV episode, you can download it to the device for later viewing. Once you download a video, you have either 24 or 48 hours to watch it before it expires, which makes it a little inconvenient to load up your tablet with movies before a trip, since you won’t be able to watch them on the way back, assuming you want to vacation for more than a day. It’s definitely good enough for a long plane flight, and you could reload it again before heading back, though your hotel’s Wi-Fi will probably take forever to download the movie. Since there’s not a ton of internal storage, you’re only going to be able to download about 10 movies on an otherwise empty Kindle—if you’ve got lots of apps, magazines, and music downloaded, it might be 5 or less movies.

如果您租借或購買電影或電視劇集，則可以將其下載到設備上以供以后觀看。 下載視頻后，您可以在24或48個小時內觀看該視頻，否則該視頻將在到期之前觀看，這會給您帶來一些不便，因為在旅途中您將無法觀看電影返回，假設您想休假一天以上。 對于長途飛機飛行來說，這絕對足夠了，您可以在重新裝上它，然后再返回，盡管酒店的Wi-Fi可能需要花費很長時間才能下載電影。 由于沒有大量內部存儲空間，因此您只能在原本為空的Kindle上下載大約10部電影-如果您下載了許多應用程序，雜志和音樂，則可能只有5部或更少的電影。

Your best bet, as a geek, is to rip your own movies and copy them over through the USB cable. The one oddity is that they won’t show up in the Videos section, you’ll have to access them through the Gallery application instead. This way you could also control the bitrate and size of the files if you wanted, so you can fit more on the drive.

作為怪胎，您最好的選擇是翻錄自己的電影，然后通過USB電纜將其復制。 奇怪的是它們不會出現在“視頻”部分中，您必須通過“圖庫”應用程序訪問它們。 這樣，您還可以根據需要控制文件的比特率和大小，以便在驅動器上安裝更多文件。

使用Kindle Fire的“ Silk”瀏覽器進行瀏覽 (Browsing with the Kindle Fire’s “Silk” Browser)

Much has been made of the Silk browser on the Kindle Fire, starting with a lot of hype about how fast it’s going to be. The main benefit to the browser, according to the marketing documentation, is that it uses the power of Amazon’s cloud to compress and optimize pages so that everything is much faster.

Kindle Fire上的Silk瀏覽器已經做了很多工作，首先是對其速度有多大的宣傳。 根據市場營銷文檔，瀏覽器的主要好處是，它利用亞馬遜云的功能來壓縮和優化頁面，從而使一切都更快。

Update:?be sure to read our followup post, where we explain how to make the browser *actually* fast.

更新：請務必閱讀我們的后續文章，其中我們解釋了如何使瀏覽器“實際上”快速。

In the testing that we’ve done over the last day or two since getting our Fire, the browsing experience is not quite as fast as one would hope. Amazon claims this is because their caching algorithm has yet to be primed, but we’re testing this on a 35/35 Mb FIOS network here, so it shouldn’t matter. Scrolling pages is a little jittery, and the screen seems to be just the wrong size for a lot of sites—like ours, which is clearly going to need to default to the mobile theme for Kindle readers. The tabbed browsing just feels like a waste of screen space, especially in landscape mode.

自獲得Fire以來的最后一兩天，我們進行的測試中，瀏覽體驗并不像人們希望的那樣快。 亞馬遜聲稱這是因為他們的緩存算法尚未準備好，但是我們在這里在35/35 Mb FIOS網絡上對此進行了測試，所以沒關系。 滾動頁面有些緊張，屏幕似乎對于許多網站(例如我們的網站)來說大小不正確，對于Kindle閱讀器來說，顯然需要默認使用移動主題。 選項卡式瀏覽就像浪費屏幕空間，尤其是在橫向模式下。

All the complaining aside, the Fire’s browser is pretty much exactly what you’d hope for if you ignored all the hype. It works well, displays pages about as well as a small tablet is going to, and has all the standard Android features like the Share Page option, which quickly lets you share the page via email, Twitter, Facebook, Evernote, or whatever applications you’ve installed that support the feature.

除了所有抱怨之外，如果您忽略了所有炒作，Fire的瀏覽器幾乎正是您希望的。 它運行良好，可顯示與小型平板電腦有關的頁面，并具有所有標準Android功能，例如“共享頁面”選項，該功能可讓您快速通過電子郵件，Twitter，Facebook，Evernote或您使用的任何應用程序共享頁面已經安裝了支持該功能的產品。

When you scroll down the page, it does hide the address bar, but it’s still a lot of wasted pixels on the screen.

向下滾動頁面時，它確實隱藏了地址欄，但屏幕上仍然有很多浪費的像素。

在Kindle Fire上發送電子郵件 (Email on the Kindle Fire)

This device was not designed for email. There’s a built-in application that supports Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, IMAP, but it’s not the greatest application—especially if you’re used to the excellent Gmail application on every Android phone. You won’t have access to your contacts unless you manually export them from Gmail and copy them over to the device using the USB cable, it creates weird labels in Gmail, and it doesn’t natively know how to handle custom domains in Gmail without a tweak.

該設備并非設計用于電子郵件。 有一個內置的應用程序支持Gmail，Hotmail，Yahoo，IMAP，但它并不是最出色的應用程序，尤其是如果您已經習慣了每部Android手機上出色的Gmail應用程序。 您將無法訪問聯系人，除非您手動從Gmail導出聯系人并使用USB電纜將其復制到設備上，它會在Gmail中創建奇怪的標簽，并且它本身不知道如何處理Gmail中的自定義域調整。

It is functional, however, and it supports Push for email delivery, so you’ll get notifications in the top bar whenever email comes in. You can switch this off, of course, in the settings. If you’re using an Exchange server you’ll have to grab a different application from the app market.

但是，它是功能性的，并且它支持Push進行電子郵件傳遞，因此，每當收到電子郵件時，您都會在頂部欄中收到通知。您當然可以在設置中將其關閉。 如果您使用的是Exchange服務器，則必須從應用程序市場中獲取其他應用程序。

閱讀報紙和雜志 (Reading Newspapers and Magazines)

One of the unique features of the Kindle Fire is the ability to read magazines, in all their glorious full-color originality. There’s loads of magazines already onboard, with old favorites like Popular Science, Wired, Car and Driver, and loads of newspapers like New York Times and the Washington Post. Most of these are designed as a subscription model—you can buy single issues, but it isn’t cheap. Instead, you need to sign up for a monthly fee and the magazine or newspaper will be automatically delivered to the Kindle. You can see all your current magazines by heading the Newsstand, or you can shop in the store for anything else you want.

Kindle Fire的獨特功能之一是具有閱讀雜志的能力，而這些雜志的全部色彩都是光彩奪目的。 船上已經有大量的雜志，其中有諸如《大眾科學》，《有線》，《汽車和駕駛員》等老熱門書籍，以及《紐約時報》和《華盛頓郵報》等報紙。 其中大多數都設計為訂閱模型，您可以購買一期，但價格并不便宜。 取而代之的是，您需要注冊每月費用，雜志或報紙將自動發送到Kindle。 您可以前往報亭查看所有當前雜志，也可以在商店中購買其他所需商品。

For some things, this works pretty well, like the New York Times, which is mostly text content. For other magazines, like Popular Science and Car and Driver, there are still some formatting problems. The default view is the image view, which doesn’t work quite right. The 7” screen is not big enough to clearly read most of the content, and zooming in works tolerably until you flip to the next page. Then it zooms back out again. You can use the menus to switch from Page view into Text view, where you can much more easily read the content, but a lot of the visual awesomeness is gone. It’s definitely something that needs to be solved.

在某些方面，這非常有效，例如《紐約時報》(New York Times)，主要是文本內容。 對于其他雜志，例如《大眾科學》和《汽車與駕駛員》，仍然存在一些格式問題。 默認視圖是圖像視圖，它不能正常工作。 7英寸的屏幕不夠大，無法清晰地閱讀大部分內容，并且可以放大直到您翻到下一頁為止。 然后，它再次縮小。 您可以使用菜單從“頁面”視圖切換到“文本”視圖，您可以在其中更輕松地閱讀內容，但是很多視覺效果都消失了。 這絕對是需要解決的問題。

Then there’s magazines like Wired and GQ, which are not delivered using the Amazon content system—instead, they are implemented as apps, and you have to subscribe and sign in separately. They are a bit more of a hassle, but the end result is a really beautiful magazine that’s designed for the Kindle. These magazines are gorgeous, and really a testament to what a tablet magazine can be. You can swipe up and down on some pages to read the entire article, or flip left and right to navigate between articles. There’s also a way to zoom backwards and see all the pages of the magazine in a view where you can more easily scan the entire magazine. It’s impressive.

然后是諸如Wired和GQ之類的雜志，它們不是使用Amazon內容系統交付的，而是作為應用程序實現的，您必須分別訂閱和登錄。 它們有點麻煩，但最終結果是為Kindle設計的精美雜志。 這些雜志非常棒，確實證明了平板電腦雜志的特色。 您可以在某些頁面上上下滑動以閱讀整篇文章，也可以左右滑動以在文章之間導航。 還有一種方法可以向后縮放并在視圖中查看雜志的所有頁面，在其中您可以更輕松地掃描整個雜志。 令人印象深刻

There’s just one odd thing: if you go straight to the web site you can subscribe to the print version for $12/year, and then you can get the Kindle Fire version for free. If you subscribe directly to the Kindle Fire version, it’s $20/year.

奇怪的是：如果您直接訪問該網站，則可以按每年12美元的價格訂購印刷版，然后可以免費獲得Kindle Fire版。 如果您直接訂閱Kindle Fire版本，則每年20美元。

Kindle Fire應用商店 (Kindle Fire App Store)

And now, the part that loads of people have been wondering about: the Apps. There’s a very large library of applications you can install on your Kindle, including things like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Seesmic, Angry Birds, Evernote, and a lot more. We tested Netflix, and it works fairly well, although it’s a little jumpy—but we’re guessing part of that is on Netflix, since their navigation is laggy on our Roku box as well.

而現在，許多人一直想知道的部分：應用程序。 您可以在Kindle上安裝大量的應用程序庫，包括Netflix，Hulu，Pandora，Seesmic，Angry Birds，Evernote等。 我們對Netflix進行了測試，盡管它有點跳動，但效果很好，但是我們猜測其中一部分是在Netflix上，因為它們的導航在我們的Roku盒子上也很滯后。

There’s a ton of applications in the market, including a daily free (otherwise paid) app, but you can also allow installing unsanctioned apps by heading into Settings –> Device and turning on the option. You’ll have to manually install them, but it’s a way to get your favorite apps on the device even if Amazon doesn’t have them in your store. For instance, you can even install the Nook app this way.

市場上有大量的應用程序，包括每日免費(否則收費)的應用程序，但您也可以通過進入“設置”->“設備”并打開該選項來允許安裝未經批準的應用程序。 您必須手動安裝它們，但這是在設備上獲取您喜歡的應用程序的一種方法，即使Amazon在您的商店中沒有它們也是如此。 例如，您甚至可以通過這種方式安裝Nook應用程序。

Note: you can’t go to the regular Android market in the browser, it simply will redirect you to Amazon’s app store . You’d have to get your hands on the install file otherwise in order to install the applications.

注意：您無法在瀏覽器中進入常規的Android市場，它只會將您重定向到Amazon的應用程序商店。 否則，您必須動手安裝文件才能安裝應用程序。

Our guess is that in the very near future, almost every Android app that you can want will show up in the market. The only exception will be system tweakers and very low-level applications.

我們的猜測是，在不久的將來，幾乎所有您想要的Android應用程序都會出現在市場上。 唯一的例外是系統調整器和非常底層的應用程序。

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be testing out whether you can get Google apps on the device, and whether there’s any great hacks that you can do.

在接下來的幾周內，我們將測試您是否可以在該設備上安裝Google應用，以及是否可以進行任何出色的修改。

Final thoughts: It’s a rather nice tablet.? Got any questions that we didn’t cover? Ask them in the comments.

最后的想法：這是一個相當不錯的平板電腦。 有沒有我們未解決的問題？ 在評論中詢問他們。
