Kindle is so easy to hold, so comfortable to read lying down anywhere.
The advertisements said that the ideal experience would be to have the reader feel as though he/she were reading a book. I do. Every once in awhile I find myself reaching for the corner to turn to the next page.
I have to laugh when this happens, as a bookaholic I couldn’t be more at home than this. I have had the KINDLE for almost a week, have cranked the font size up so that my injured eye is comfortable reading the text.
I do not have the tired eyes that produce double vision and lessening clarity with the larger size font. I love turning off the KINDLE, then being able to find exactly where I was when I finished reading. Such a pleasure, no lost reading time. If I have read too long, forgotten the sentence on which I stopped, pushing the “previous page” pulls me back into the text where my mind is once again into the story or nonfiction. I purchased a red leather case, I do not want anything to injure the KINDLE. It is attrative, and because it is such a rich red color, I have no trouble locating it in my bag. I look forward to recovering the space in my office now filled with books, all of them needing frequent dusting.
Great post mate! Where
