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.
