Does it play mp3's or something?

I was watching the video on amazon and I can't imagine why it needs a headphone jack.
 
bumping up as it was already to bottom of page 3. :)
 
I never knew it did.
I saw a women using one at the DRS one day but did not notice it had a headphone jack.
 

I've got mine here on the armrest of the chair and I wondered the same thing... never used it, obviously.
 
I wonder if it for music.
You can add a SD card to it so you would be able to put music on an sd card
 
It plays both MP3s and audiobooks which makes it that much more versatile and worth EVERY FREAKING PENNY I PAID!!! Not quite the sound quality of say an iPod but all in all, pretty dang good :thumbsup2

Awesome. I mean, I have an iPod.... but I like the ability for it to play mp3s.
 
The Kindle is equipped with a headphone jack and allows users to download both audiobooks (though this must be done as a download to a computer then to the Kindle via USB cable) and MP3s.
 
I just can't put out the cash. I need it to drop in price before I do it. I actually bought the ebook reader years ago, and it sucked! And you could only get nerdy sci-fi books on ebook at the time. I got really frustrated.

Crossing my fingers that it gets cheaper soon.
 
I'm so glad you asked that - I got mine in the mail TODAY :cool1: and have been having a great time figuring it out - but the headphone jack and the volume control were completely lost on me! Of course, I could have read the book - but I was so blame excited to start using it ... :rotfl:

I know it still seems pricey, but in terms of technology it's like comparing today's pcs to the old crt's of the 80s :sad2:
