Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite 2016 Release - 2016 - White
Keep up with your reading with the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. A quartet of LEDs lets you read when it's getting dark, or you can use the no-glare screen in bright sunlight for an almost-like-paper reading experience. Low power consumption ensures the battery on this Amazon Kindle Paperwhite lasts for weeks.
 
Does not hold charge as advertised.

charged it 5 times on 3 different chargers (2 of them from Amazon), turned WIFI off and all settings on lowest power use... Never got more than 3 days from a full charge. Not exactly weeks as advertised... It was returned.

Of the MCU, I was probably least impressed by this one, but that's like saying, "It's only Ice Cream..." It still is worth having a copy to rewatch several times...

I wanted to watch the original before going to see the new one. Wow! I almost remember all the fears and doubts that were shown in the film. Times sure have changed.

We didn't see much of a difference with it, but we have a good wifi router, and cat 6 going to half of the speakers. I imagine that if we didn't have such a foot print it would have been a more noticeable improvement.

It shipped directly from BB within 2 days. Installing the sound bar was painless and straight forward with a template to mark the wall and a little inch and a half level in case you don't have one. It might have been a 10 minute job.

The good news is that they hold up the speakers fairly well. On the other hand they are cheap and a lot of the design is to look well thought out while not really bothering. The best example is the Lock nut that does not come anywhere near the speaker. 2 months in and my speakers still don't sag, but I do check them every so often.

We started with a Sound Bar, Sub and 2 Sonos 1's for our home theater and loved it. We now have a Living Room Zone with 2 Sonos 1's and our office with a Sound Bar hooked up directly to my Sound Blaster Card and 2 1's for surround sound! Life is Good!

I am using these with a Creative z series sound card. When I can get them to work, they are comfortable and sound great, but I usually have to fiddle with all my settings for 20 minutes, and I cannot always get them to work, or the sound stays on my primary speakers and I can't game. It's probably my system, but it is frustrating when I cannot use them.

I have 1 connect and 3 Connect Amps all on a shelf behind my TV in the basement. They are all plugged into the Wireless Router. Does having more than one Sonos Connect/Connect AMP connected via wire cause any issues or should only one be connected?

several of our speakers are on LAN and it works great.

Can you install a sonos system if you have little or no internet access? I use sonos, but also want to use it at a vacation cabin. Remote location, so only internet would be infrequent using phone for a wifi hotspot. Would if fail if there's no connecti

You can use it to play stored music on a laptop, possibly a phone or Ipod, but it would be more limited. I believe that if you can connect to your computer, it will run.

Sonos PLAY:3 Wireless Speaker: Fill your home with rich, dynamic sound with Sonos Play:3, a speaker that's versatile enough to put just about anywhere. Position it horizontally or vertically for a perfect fit in tight spots around your home like on bookshelves or a nightstand.
 

I HAVE THE SONOS PLAY 3 FOR MY SMALLER ROOM AND A SONOS PLAY 5 FOR THE LARGER ROOM Serial Number: B8-E9-37-39-05-EE:F Version: 7.0 (build 34735131) what else goes with these-anything better ? Is my play 3 not capable of streaming music???

We have 1 sonos connected by ethernet to my computer. All of our Sonos zones can behave independently and can stream, play the TV sound, Iheart radio, pandora or run my favorite playlist. I was under the impression that it would work with WiFi as well...

can i use the battery backup with a hdtv?

There is no reason why you couldn't. You would get another layer of protection from power surges and flickers.
On the other hand, if your power goes out, will you be a lot happier if you can get 15 minutes further before you lose your TV (real time depends on how many components--and power draw for each one-- that are connected to the battery back up, as well as how healthy the battery is)?
