My husband likes the Kindle

Kindle

I borrowed my wife’s Kindle to read a book (The Shack by William P. Young) that is of interest to both us.  I was given rudimentary operation instructions.  It is an easy machine to operate.  Turn it on and it works.  I am sure that there are things that I need to know to optimize my reading experience, but it passed my first impression test.

 In the first few minutes I was so immersed in reading that I absent mindedly attempted to turn the page by reaching up with my thumb and index finger and separating the page to turn it.  That was when I realized that using the Kindle is a great reading experience.  It is easily held in one hand or with a cover like my wife uses.  This cover allows the brain to think that it is reading a real paper book.  The print is very clear.  The size of the print is adjustable, but my wife’s settings were sufficient for my purposes.

 The only negative is really a small point and I am not sure if it was my anticipation of the next page or if the Kindle was slow to go to the next page.    It does change easily but I would like it to turn quicker but one cannot have everything.

    I haven’t had a chance to try Kindle yet since it’s not available in Europe. It does look far too big and bulky for me (I read on an iPod and am very happy with it). I guess the larger screen makes Kindle much better for books which require certain layouts and uses images, like manuals or magazines. It will be interesting to see where they can take the Kindle in the future, though.
