I'm having fun figuring out my new Kindle (Christmas gift). It's WAY too easy to buy and download books on this thing. At least I've found the free ones and have downloaded some classics that I've always wanted to read.
Currently I'm 3/4 of the way through the new Fannie Flagg book, I've Always Dreamed of You (or something like that). It's very pleasant reading and somewhat humorous, as are all of Fannie's books. I have had fun changing the font size up and down and using or not using my glassses. The only problem with the large font is that you have to turn the pages all the time. You have to do that with large-type books as well, though. I"m wondering if I will find it easy to remember what the book looks like when I go to recommend it to folks at the library since I have no interaction with the cover. I think my mind does use the color and picture as a memory device.
I still feel like a bit of a library traitor, but have found that reading the Kindle is very easy on the eyesight. Next - trying the reading out loud feature...

ReplyDeleteYes you can.
ReplyDeleteI've finished my book and even played around with the read aloud feature - sounds like a male or female computer, though.
All in all I think a Kindle is GREAT! Thanks, Al for the gift.
