El nuevo modelo prescinde del teclado que tenía la versión anterior (que todavía no se podía adquirir directamente en España) y tiene un tamaño de almacenamiento algo inferior, por un precio muy aceptable: 99€. Estoy acostumbrado a ese modelo y, la verdad, si te gusta realizar anotaciones frecuentes o utilizar mucho tu Kindle para buscar contenido en la red, se puede echar de menos el pequeño teclado en la parte inferior.

Por otra parte, el tamaño en el reciente modelo es algo menor, con lo que funciona mejor como libro de bolsillo y tiene un diseño más refinado. Entre las muchas cosas que me gustan del Kindle:

• un tamaño muy manejable y fácil de llevar a todas partes (15 cm de largo y menos de 1 cm de grueso, como un libro de bolsillo),
• ligereza ( 170 gramos),
• autonomía (hasta un mes de duración de la carga de batería),
• conectividad wifi (o wifi + 3G) para descargar libros e interactuar con redes sociales,
• facilidad de uso, capacidad (¡cerca de 1500 libros!),
• resolución del texto y comodidad de lectura…

Veamos algunas de estas características con algo más de detalle:

Es importante entender que Kindle no tiene una pantalla al uso como las de móviles, tabletas y monitores,  sino una pantalla de tinta electrónica o e-Ink. Una tecnología totalmente diferente con unas ventajas únicas. Es como si se imprimiera instantáneamente cada página, a una resolución mucho más alta de lo que alcanzan los monitores actuales: los caracteres se pueden leer con una nitidez equiparable a la de una buena impresión. El cambio de página en Kindle es muy rápido. Una serie de impulsos electrónicos  mueven partículas de tinta blancas y negras para conseguir la calidad óptima en el texto y las imágenes.

Además, la luz no se transmite a través de la pantalla, sino que leemos a partir de la luz reflejada, como si fuera un papel impreso. Esto es mucho más natural y castiga menos la vista que una fuente de luz transmitida como el monitor tradicional. Por este motivo, leer a plena luz del Sol o bajo una fuente de luz potente no sólo es posible (a diferencia de un iPad, por ejemplo) sino que, de hecho, es preferible a la oscuridad. ¡Si estamos en la oscuridad completa no se puede leer nada! Muchos usuarios de Kindle aprovechan una pequeña lámpara portátil de lectura a pilas para leer cómodamente en la cama, en un tren nocturno o en el avión. A diferencia de un portátil, el Kindle no desprende calor. De esta forma, puedes leer sin problema durante todo el tiempo que quieras.

Kindle se puede conectar con un cable USB o mediante Wifi al ordenador para añadir o quitar contenido a su memoria interna de almacenamiento de 2GB. Esta capacidad es evidentemente limitada y no admitiría mucho contenido si se tratara de documentos con muchos gráficos, ni tampoco si queremos almacenar música. Pero si utilizamos Kindle para lo que hace bien —leer libros de texto simple— su capacidad es muy grande: puede llegar a los 1400 libros. Leyendo un libro cada cuatro días tendríamos para leer durante quince años…

Es algo limitado en cuanto a los formatos de ebook que admite (formato nativo AZW y Mobi, puede convertir ficheros de texto y RTF). También incorpora un navegador web básico y un lector de pdf. Ahora bien, lo ideal es leer texto con un mínimo de formato: lo que encontramos habitualmente en una novela, ensayo, libro de poesía… Estos documentos ocupan relativamente poco espacio y se pueden convertir sin problemas de un formato a otro. Los formatos de lectura compatibles son exactamente:  Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, MOBI sin protección y PRC en su formato original; HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP por conversión. Así, si tenemos algún libro en un formato incompatible con el lector de Kindle se puede realizar una simple conversión, por ejemplo desde el formato .epub (muy popular) o .fb2. Estas conversiones las realiza muy bien el programa Calibre que ya comentamos aquí anteriormente.

Los libros que se pueden adquirir (o descargar gratuitamente) se cuentan por miles y se pueden conseguir tanto en el propio sitio de Amazon, cuya tienda Kindle funciona especialmente bien en el navegador del dispositivo, o en otros archivos. Existen innumerables clásicos en distintos idiomas ya disponibles. Además puedes transferir tu propio contenido. Por ejemplo, notas que hayas tomado en tu ordenador, fragmentos de consulta en la web, artículos, páginas web tomadas a partir de sumarios RSS… las fuentes de contenido pueden ser tan diversas como quieras.

Es muy habitual que cuando leemos efectuemos diferentes anotaciones o pongamos marcadores en diferentes partes del libro. Con Kindle es fácil añadir notas a tus libros con el teclado virtual que aparece justo cuando lo necesitas.  También se puede marcar o “subrayar” uno de los pasajes clave y marcar las páginas que quieras utilizar en el futuro.  Cada libro queda en la última página leída, y si utilizan el mismo Kindle diferentes usuarios, cada uno se encontrará su libro en el punto en que lo dejó. Se puede compartir las citas preferidas a través de las redes sociales Twitter y Facebook, y ver cuántas anotaciones han realizado otros lectores sobre el mismo libro.

Además de libros que ha producido una editorial u otras personas, el e-reader Kindle te da la posibilidad de llevar tus documentos personales a todas partes sin necesidad de imprimirlos. Tú y los contactos a los que otorgues autorización podréis enviar por e-mail documentos de Word, PFD, texto o imágenes directamente a tu Kindle y leerlos en el dispositivo. Los documentos se almacenarán en tu biblioteca Kindle para que los puedas descargar fácilmente en cualquier parte y en cualquier momento. Obviamente, estos documentos también pueden contar con anotaciones, subrayados y marcadores que se sincronizarán en todos los dispositivos, gracias a la tecnología Whispersync, y además siempre recuerda la última página leída de cada documento.
El navegador web de Kindle facilita el encontrar lo que buscas en la red. Sólo tienes que introducir una palabra o una frase y Kindle buscará en tu biblioteca Kindle, en la Tienda Kindle, en Wikipedia o en la web a través de la búsqueda de Google.

Si conectamos Kindle a internet podemos descargar libros gratuitos o adquirirlos en la tienda de ebooks de Amazon. Muchos libros comerciales cuentan con una versión limitada para probar, por ejemplo, el primer capítulo de la obra.

Para gestionar tu biblioteca, puedes organizar los libros en diversas colecciones. Así, por ejemplo, puedes tener diferentes carpetas según la temática o épocas, o también una carpeta para cada usuario. El programa que ofrece Amazon (también llamado Kindle, disponible para pc, mac y diferentes móviles) para gestionar tu Kindle y tu biblioiteca está bien, pero es muy preferible en mi opinión utilizar Calibre, una magnífica aplicación opensource con muchas más prestaciones.

El diccionario está disponible en cualquier momento. Basta con desplazar el cursor delante de una palabra para que aparezca su definición en la parte inferior de la pantalla de Kindle. Si queremos ver la definición completa, pulsando el botón principal iremos a la página del diccionario con las diferentes acepciones de la palabra y ejemplos de uso. Esta utilidad está muy indicada para utilizar un diccionario de otro idioma. Ofrece diccionarios en español, francés, inglés, alemán, italiano y portugués brasileño.

Kindle viene listo para usar. No es preciso configurarlo previamente con un ordenador, ni lo necesita para transferir contenido, puesto que puede hacerlo por wifi. Sin embargo, si se quiere aprovechar un programa de lectura de ebooks en un ordenador u otros dispositivos, Kindle sincronizará la lectura entre todos ellos. Incluye como documentación una   Guía de inicio rápido (impresa, incluida en la caja), más una Guía del usuario de Kindle (preinstalada en el e-reader).

Se puede disfrutar de una lectura cómoda con ocho tamaños y tres estilos de fuente diferentes, con lo que se pueden elegir todas las combinaciones posibles de estas variantes. Además, se puede modificar el interlineado y el espaciado entre caracteres para conseguir la lecturabilidad que consideremos óptima.

Kindle tiene varios detalles de diseño ergonónico, como el incluir botones a ambos lados del dispositivo para pasar las páginas cómodamente sin importar la posición en la que se lea. Viene con un botón de navegación multidireccional muy fácil de usar que permite subrayar o buscar palabras de forma precisa y sin dejar huellas en la pantalla. La orientación de la visualización puede cambiarse a voluntad de vertical a horizontal para leer mapas, gráficos y tablas más fácilmente.

Para que cada lector elija el modo de lectura más confortable, Kindle permite diferentes combinaciones de tipo de letra, tamaño y espaciado.

Además de Kindle en sí, están disponibles numerosos accesorios, entre los que destacan las fundas de diversos materiales, las lámparas de lectura en miniatura y los cargadores / adaptadores a red eléctrica. Todo ello disponible en la tienda Kindle:

La tienda Kindle en Amazon.es, donde hay una interminable oferta de libros digitalizados, tanto de pago como gratuitos (muestras y clásicos de la literatura). Además de estos libros, optimizados para su lectura en Kindle, también encontramos todo tipo de accesorios.

Más información y todas las especificaciones de Kindle en la página oficial de Amazon.es.

Este programa, desarrollado por indeeo, ofrece herramientas básicas para la creación y edición de ilustraciones vectoriales. Es una aplicación ligera que se carga rápidamente. Bajo una interfaz visual engañosamente simple, iDraw oculta un considerable poder creativo y potentes herramientas para el artista gráfico digital.

Cuando arranca el programa, nos presenta diversas opciones preestablecidas para empezar la ilustración. Incluye una página en blanco, gradientes, páginas de libro de notas… además de la posibilidad de crear un diseño inicial a medida y guardarlo. El aspecto del programa, con un elegante esquema de colores grises y negros, sigue una tendencia que también han adoptado otras aplicaciones de dibujo vectorial en sus versiones más recientes: por ejemplo Xara y Expression.

Para alguien que tenga experiencia con alguno de los programas de dibujo vectorial más conocidos, es fácil empezar a trabajar inmediatamente con iDraw. Las herramientas de que dispone son similares y se identifican con iconos familiares. Podemos editar varios documentos simultáneamente, presentados en pestañas contiguas, lo que facilita la edición desde un trabajo a otro en la misma sesión. El programa incorpora también una barra de propiedades contextual que ofrece diferentes opciones en función de la herramienta elegida:

El tratamiento de las capas en este programa se aproxima bastante a otras aplicaciones: incluye diferentes modos de fusión, lo que permite conseguir efectos muy diversos de forma no destructiva y simple.

Algunos de los múltiples modos de fusión en iDraw, con los que se puede crear una enorme variedad de efectos con los objetos vectoriales.

Los cuatro paneles inspectores de iDraw facilitan el acceso a diferentes características del programa de una forma cómoda y centralizada. iDraw incluye los paneles de apariencia, propiedades, bibliotecas de formas y el panel de estilos.

El inspector de apariencia permite cambiar a voluntad el trazo, pincel, relleno, etiquetas (que sirven también para indicar las dimensiones del objeto), texto y efectos especiales (opacidad y sombras).

Las propiedades que pueden cambiarse en el inspector correspondiente son la geometría del objeto (posición, tamaño, rotación, sesgar); alineación; herramientas de combinación de trazos (combinar, modificar, trazos compuestos); cuadrícula y lienzo.

Las formas organizadas en bibliotecas de iDraw aportan una gran variedad de clipart listo para utilizar. Incluye una considerable cantidad de muestras de ejemplo, y además podemos organizar nuestros propios materiales para tener un acceso fácil a ellos.

Los estilos son combinaciones de propiedades de los objetos que pueden reutilizarse a voluntad para aplicar un aspecto determinado, de forma consistente y cómoda, de unos objetos  a otros.

iDraw tiene la capacidad de importar y exportar en una variedad de formatos gráficos estándar. Admite jpeg, png, gif, tiff y pdf tanto para importación como exportación. Además, también importa desde el formato vectorial estándar svg.

Aunque el programa es bastante intuitivo y para cualquiera que haya utilizado alguna otra aplicación semejante será muy fácil de utilizar, también se puede consultar un detallado manual del usuario disponible en PDF.

33. Plain Clip – a tiny Mac OS X application which will remove formatting from text which is on the clipboard. It’s designed as a face­less application (i.e.: no graphical user interface, with the excep­tion of the preferences win­dow), which makes it ideal for triggering it from a hotkey / launcher applications such as Spark or Launch­Bar. For users of such tools, Plain Clip offers a way to invoke it with a shell command, which makes it possible to emulate a “Cmd-V” / “Paste” keyboard shortcut after the clipboard’s content has been converted.
    Moreover, since version 2.0 Plain Clip has offered removal of trailing whitespace and control characters such as non-breaking spaces. Plain Clip 2.1 introduced another optionally text filter: line breaks can be removed, but at the same time consecutive line breaks are retained, so that paragraphs in the text are preserved.

Aunque los Mac ya se caracterizaban por una instalación habitualmente simple de los programas (arrastrar y soltar en la carpeta de aplicaciones), hace unas semanas, al Mac OS X Snow leopard se le añadió en su actualización 10.6.6 el App Store. Pese a algunos problemas bastante irritantes con el registro de aplicaciones comerciales, tiene el aliciente de aportar miles de nuevos programas y utilidades al usuario del Mac, y proporcionar una instalación simplificada.

Después de estas novedades, Windows se había quedado como el sistema en el que con frecuencia es más complicado y engorroso instalar nuevos programas. Al menos, y como alternativa, existe la posibilidad de utilizar un sinfín de aplicaciones portátiles, que son una auténtica bendición. Pero al fin existe algo parecido al Software center de Ubuntu en Windows. Y nos llega a través de un desarrollador independiente, no como una característica incorporada por el propio sistema operativo. Es Allmyapps.

Este gestor de aplicaciones funciona con .NET Framework 3.5 y será necesario instalar o actualizar este entorno de ejecución (el instalador de Allmyapps se encarga de esta actualización si es necesario).

La opción portable es también una buena alternativa, utilizando una selección de programas de Portableapps, Portablefreeware, Softpedia, Appstick o Liberkey.  Si uno de los programas portátiles no lleva un sistema de actualización automatizada basta con sustituir los contenidos de su carpeta con la nueva versión (normalmente se mantienen los archivos de preferencias y configuración).

Sin entradas relacionadas.

Nuevos enlaces que he agregado en mi colección de del.icio.us, en esta ocasión más de 150 nuevas referencias a sitios sobre ilustración, diseño gráfico, tipografía, rotulación, creatividad, publicaciones, video y mucho más.

No está de más considerar las alternativas existentes. Diigo para empezar: un servicio que no cuenta con la base de usuarios enorme de que dispone del.icio.us, pero que tiene, para compensar, funciones mucho más avanzadas y es muy rápido.

Existen, también, toda una serie de clones de estos servicios que puedes manejar a tu aire si tienes un alojamiento web. Normalmente son sistemas basados en PHP y MySQL, aunque existen algunos sistemas que funcionan sobre Ruby, Perl, Python… Getboo, Sabros.us, Scuttle (comentado aquí anteriormente), Pligg y otros. Aquí está otra lista de alternativas, y también puedes consultar las alternativas propuestas por Scriptsnow, Hot scripts y alternativeto.net (tanto servicios online como soluciones instalables.)

Para aprovechar esta extensión necesitas realmente varias cosas: a) que te guste cocinar y probar cosas nuevas; b) que te guste fraccionar la compra en salidas diarias, o casi y c) que te defiendas bien con el inglés– aunque está disponible en castellano, como verás la aprovechas mucho más en inglés (por las enormes posibilidades de importación de recetas). En fin, tampoco es tanta exigencia…

Así que con GLG puedes crear una lista de compra bonita y bien organizada desde tu navegador, a medida que encuentres las recetas que te apetezcan. Tiene, además, opciones adicionales como ordenar los ingredientes según la ruta que habitualmente sigues en tu mercado o tienda, añadir tus propias recetas, cambiar ingredientes y cantidades, imprimir o exportar…

Si crean una versión para Chrome, ahora que lo empleo bastante, utilizando un símil gastronómico hispano, ya será miel sobre hojuelas. Sobre todo ahora que se acerca Navidad.

Su catálogo (disponible en PDF) presenta una selección de títulos sorprendentes que son enormemente atractivos para todo interesado en el mundo del diseño, la comunicación audiovisual, la tipografía, ilustración…

Me gusta especialmente la mirada que dedica esta editora a los márgenes, a menudo poco visibles, de la cultura visual contemporánea, y también a episodios de la historia del diseño con los que no se ha hecho justicia.

Un proyecto con un fondo editorial que incorpora continuamente nuevas propuestas,  excitantes y recomendables.Entre los libros publicados recientemente por Mark Batty encontramos una interpretación visual de Three line novels, traducción de Nouvelles en trois lignes de Félix Fénéon. Este peculiar libro recopila los singulares artículos periodísticos de Fénéon, anarquista (sospechoso en su día de actividades terroristas), crítico de arte  y excéntrico escritor (uno de los personajes retratados por Valloton en sus Máscaras de Gourmont). Un ejemplo de esta especial edición, ilustrada por Joanna Neborsky:

Si hace poco nos fijábamos en la singular interpretación de la mitología hindú por parte de Sanjay Patel, hoy ponemos la vista en un proyecto similar en intención y ejecución.  Se trata del Bento Bestiary de Ben Newman. Es, otra vez, una visión contemporánea, divertida —a base de dibujo vectorial— de seres imaginarios. En esta ocasión son una nueva visión de las criaturas que el artista japonés del siglo XVIII Toriyama Sekien creó para ilustrar los espíritus de la tradición Yokai (una antigua raza de demonios cuyos descendientes aterrorizan el Mundo, en plan Godzilla.)

Este especial bestiario lo publica una editorial que me encanta: Nobrow. Entre los artistas de los que publica obra gráfica y libros están Blexbolex, Brecht Vandenbroucke y muchos más.

Si quieres probar de crear tu propia versión de las ilustraciones de Sekien puedes utilizar como referencia las imágenes de Wikimedia commons o los enlaces del artículo de Wikipedia.
