Is Kindle the best?

Steve, thanks for stopping by and comment...Hi Guys,<br />Steve, thanks for stopping by and commenting.<br />Stance, it's a strange one the whole ebook thing. I didn't think I'd like the format but like Steve says once you try it you find that it's pretty easy to get used to. I have only read 2 books on the Kindle but didn't feel that the format was at all detrimental to the books. At the end of the day it's the author's words that matter, not what you are reading them from. Having said that i did miss the book covers and my Brotherhood Of The Wolf (I kid you not) bookmark. These devices will never replace physical books but in this day and age they are an important part of the market.Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374332895590659880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549956280800598040.post-70367405239310602242011-02-05T20:42:30.474+00:002011-02-05T20:42:30.474+00:00Oh, and thanks for the mention, Rick! :-DOh, and thanks for the mention, Rick! :-DSteve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549956280800598040.post-30321878192253615982011-02-05T20:41:00.439+00:002011-02-05T20:41:00.439+00:00Hi Stance,
Hope Rick doesn't mind me weighin...Hi Stance, <br /><br />Hope Rick doesn't mind me weighing in on his question, but like yourself I was a bit reluctant to try an e-reader. <br /><br />Until I bought one. <br /><br />Eye strain is a thing of the past. There's no screen flicker. Good contrast. And you can adjust the font size to whatever's comfortable. <br /><br />Super-portable. Month-long battery life. Built-in dictionary lets you look up words while you're reading. <br /><br />I too love the smell and feel of paper, but curling up with the latest James Lee Burke hardback, I saw for the first time that the ink was grayish-black, the paper so brown and thin that the print on the back of the page showed through. I found myself wishing I had it on my Kindle, just to relieve the eyestrain!Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549956280800598040.post-7487646423940764422011-02-05T18:57:11.036+00:002011-02-05T18:57:11.036+00:00Hi Rick, not really a comment on the book but more...Hi Rick, not really a comment on the book but more regarding the new Kindle type devices. I've been considering getting one, but do they strain the eyes? And, is there really anything can beat sitting down with a good book? The feel and smell of the paper etc...What are your thoughts?The Stancenoreply@blogger.com
