April 21

Newer Kindle, better or just same ?

[edit]

Can someone please tell me that is the 300 ppi resolution of the new Amazon Kindle really and noticeably clearer than the old 160 (or thereabouts) ppi of its lesser teammates. Is it worthy enough a difference to justify the price-gap between the low and higher resolution gadgets ? 125.62.116.112 (talk) 00:02, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews don't seem to be saying that it's "just same". See for example "Kindle Paperwhite 2015: tech specs, reviews, comparisons, and more" at ebookfriendly.com. How much you are (or should be) willing to pay for these improvements depends on a lot of things, and is not something we can answer. ---Sluzzelin talk 00:26, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you see jaggies or blurriness on the current model ? If not, then there's probably not much reason to upgrade. StuRat (talk) 02:48, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"I Love It When You Call Me Names"

[edit]

I wonder if anyone who's seen the video for this Joan Armatrading song can confirm if that's Adrian Belew playing guitar & singing back-up. Joefromrandb (talk) 19:13, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it's not, but the video on a certain website isn't the best quality. --TammyMoet (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to the official "live" video from the tour here: [1]? If so, I agree: no. This may be the original track with the named musicians playing from the audio; but the video is not of the band members (the sync is off with Armatrading's vocals).

Yes I was. I was hesitant to link to You Tube, as I've heard conflicting things regarding its acceptability (re copyrights). Someone had told me Belew was part of her back-up band. I didn't think it was he, but I couldn't be sure. Thank you! Joefromrandb (talk) 00:45, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Belew played on the studio version but I can't find any evidence he played it live with her. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:45, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
