亚马逊kindle设置

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.

几天前，我们拿到了Kindle Fire ，从那时起，我们一直在戳戳，刺探，并且通常试图弄清楚如何破解它。 在外出购买自己的产品之前，请查看我们的深入评论。

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：此评论非常长，因此我们将其分为多个页面。 您可以使用底部的导航链接或按钮在页面之间切换。

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.

拿起平板电脑后，您会发现它的重量比您想象的要重一点，尽管绝对不会太重。 背部感觉像橡胶一样的东西，很抓地力，并且总体感觉很好。 屏幕具有1024×600的分辨率，每英寸169像素，这意味着屏幕上的文本非常清晰且易于阅读，即使很小。 显示器的IPS(平面内切换)技术效果很好，通常您可以从一个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.

与iPad相比，Kindle Fire的边缘稍厚一些，尽管由于尺寸较大，您可以将它放在合适大小的外套口袋中，甚至可以放在我的Gap牛仔裤的后袋中……尽管我觉得走路很可笑平板电脑像这样从我的裤子里伸出来。 能够将平板电脑放在外套口袋里肯定会让我更容易将平板电脑带到屋外—带着iPad走进咖啡店实在令人讨厌。

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.

只有一个按钮，奇怪地位于底部...即使所有其他Kindle设备的底部都具有电源按钮，将平板电脑上的电源按钮放置在此处而不是像上面一样放置在右上方的感觉还是不对的其他所有设备。 按钮在该位置的另一个问题是，没有保护套，您无法将平板电脑站起来，而必须将其上下翻转。 将Kindle放在皮套中可以解决这个(非常)小的问题，但是测试时我们没有一个。

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.

扬声器在设备的顶部，令人讨厌。 即使最大程度，您也听不到它们的声音-该设备显然是为与耳机配合使用而设计的。 没有硬件音量控制，有时会感觉不对劲，但是由于您不会在Fire上接到意想不到的(大声)电话，所以这可能没什么大不了的。 大多数时候，只需轻按一下音量控件即可，隐藏在设置后面。

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.

触摸技术是设备出现故障的地方-当您浏览菜单时，感觉某种程度上略有偏离，就像未正确校准一样。 并不是到处都存在问题，但是看起来如此漂亮的轮播导航是您会立即注意到的地方：它似乎永远不会停在您想要的地方。 我们希望亚马逊可以在将来的更新中解决此问题，但是即使不能解决，这也不是破坏交易的事情，只是麻烦。

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.

考虑平板电脑时，最重要的因素可能是电池续航时间，而且Fire并不可怕，但您肯定会注意到，iPad的稳定运行时间也达不到10个小时。 在关闭无线功能的情况下，它的阅读时间为8小时，视频播放时间为7.5小时。 当然，由于内部8 GB的内存非常小(可用6 GB)，并且缺少扩展插槽，因此保持无线关闭的问题是该设备旨在流式传输视频和其他内容，而不是在本地播放。 在我们的测试中，在免费的Prime部分播放了4小时的流媒体电影后，电池寿命为38％。 关闭Wi-Fi后，电池寿命会更长一些，而且您可能会得到7个小时以上的电量。 在实际使用中，您可能可以全天正常地(开/关)使用它，而不会出现问题。

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.

其他一些注意事项：没有硬件主页按钮。 您可以将Kindle Fire作为驱动器安装，然后将所需的任何文件轻松复制到它。 它也已经扎根。

Should You Buy It?

你应该买吗？

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.

这取决于。 如果外形尺寸对您不重要，您不讨厌Apple，但您有很多钱，iPad 2是更好的选择。 如果您想在任何地方阅读，包括阳光，都应该使用电子墨水Kindle Touch 。

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

否则， Kindle Fire是一款非常出色的功能强大的平板电脑，可以完成您想要的大多数事情。

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：我们刚刚接触了Nook平板电脑，并将在未来几天内发布关于该产品的想法。

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的包装简单，仅需电源线和设备即可。 没有要阅读的用户手册，也不必将其插入计算机。 您真正需要做的就是打开电源，在那您会找到非常愉快的启动体验。 如果您通过亚马逊帐户购买了Kindle Fire(而不是别人的礼物)，则安装体验几乎是即时的-只需连接到Wi-Fi网络即可。 如果您的平板电脑是礼物，则必须登录，但这实际上就是所有内容。

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.

欢迎屏幕将引导您浏览用户界面，并说明如何使用各种基本功能入门。 界面并不是很令人困惑-但这绝对是一个不错的选择，可以带来整体体验。 我们将设备交给了非极客级的iPad用户，而没有向他们显示欢迎屏幕，在试图了解它们的工作原理时，一两分钟的困惑让他们感到很舒服。

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.

顶部导航栏使您可以非常快速地访问所有Amazon云内容-或访问Amazon商店以购买更多内容。 无论您是进入书本，音乐，视频，报亭还是应用程序，内容最初都存储在您的Amazon帐户中，并且可以流式传输或下载到设备上。 毕竟，Fire是进入亚马逊内容网络的门户。

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.

轮播会保存您最近的所有内容，在某些方面有些奇怪。 您会看到已购买的所有书籍，即使它们没有下载到设备上也是如此。 您不会在这里看到所有音乐，只会看到最近播放的音乐，已使用的应用程序，并且会显示您最近访问的网站。 您可以将其中任何一个固定在底部的“收藏夹”栏中，这几乎就是您访问常用图标的方式-使用轮播比其他任何东西都更新颖，并且随着使用设备的增多，大部分时间甚至都不会打扰它。

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.

除了提供硬件按钮外，Fire还为您提供了通常位于屏幕上的软件“主页”按钮，但通常情况下，它隐藏在屏幕上的水龙头后面。 这是很快会变得令人烦恼的那些小事情之一，尤其是当您被困在没有向您提供“主页”按钮的游戏或应用背后时。 讨厌按钮的Apple设备仍然具有主页按钮是有原因的-您需要一种方法，只需按一下即可回到开始屏幕。 这是亚马逊的巨大监督，希望他们的下一款平板电脑包含一个按钮。

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.

可以通过按屏幕的右上角来访问这些设置，因为没有硬件音量按钮，因此您可以在其中启用/禁用Wi-Fi，调整亮度或管理音量。 在大多数情况下，这种方法效果很好，但是如果您使用的是游戏，则最终不得不在其他地方找到音量控件。 就像我们对平板电脑的许多控制一样，这是一个小问题，但是，这些微小的矛盾还是会抵消总体体验。

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.

您也可以使用设置菜单来强制设备同步或锁定屏幕方向。 如果您正在播放音乐，则将看到当前正在播放的歌曲以及音乐控件，这非常方便-假设您使用的是标准Kindle应用程序之一，可快速进入设置。

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.

进入欢迎屏幕后，您将可以立即开始使用该设备。 搜索框使您可以搜索所有图书馆内容，这意味着任何书籍，音乐或设备上存储的所有内容，甚至是Amazon云中存储的内容。 您会发现自己主要是用它来查找音乐，因为浏览图书集更有意义，只需单击顶部的“图书”即可-该屏幕由最近的图书组成，并且如果您像我一样，将您喜欢的书固定到“收藏夹”栏。

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.

设备上的触摸导航很不错，通常也很好，但是有时候我们发现它很烦人。 整个设备上最令人讨厌的东西实际上是主屏幕上的旋转木马，它以某种方式被调错了—轻拂一下，它就一直滚动。 尝试停止特定项目，几乎每次都可以找到下一个项目。

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.

键盘的感觉有点太慢，虽然在纵向模式下(左侧)很不错，但在横向模式下却有一个空格键，该空格键向左偏移得更远，因此我们发现自己敲了句号键而不是空格键。 这不是不可用的，只是需要一些习惯。 您还会发现在某些屏幕上，特别是在搜索屏幕上，由于页面刷新，它有点慢。

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.

与大多数Android设备不同，您无需向下滑动即可进入“通知”窗格-相反，您会在左上角看到一个计数，其中包含当前拥有的通知数量，而您必须点击以拉下该窗格。 在大多数情况下，这种方法都可以正常工作，尽管绝对会使用户友好程度降低。 如果您有许多正在打开的应用程序并正在播放音乐，则该计数将同时包含正在进行的任务和通知，这使您难以理解该计数是否意味着您有新的通知。 大多数Android设备通过在左上角放置图标来避免这种混乱，但是您在这里看不到它。 是的，就像任何Kindle设备一样，您只需将其插入安装为驱动器的计算机即可将文件传输到该设备。

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拥有者很高兴看到锁定屏幕保护程序令人愉悦-不再有被强迫看待的Emily Dickinson恐怖照片。 有一个奇怪的地方：握住设备的方向无关紧要，锁定屏幕将始终相同。 因此，即使您在横向模式下使用Fire，也必须通过人像解锁。 这并不是真正的问题，只是有趣，因为该设备允许您将其完全上下翻转，并且可以为您翻转屏幕。
