I've already started A Thousand Miles Up the Nile on my K Fire and really enjoyed that I could zoom in on the illustrations in the book. The detail is fantastic. The writing reminds me of old, old letters from my father's family during times when there was no other distractions of TV or instant travel or communication. The writing creates the scene and you "see" it in your mind. It paints the picture of where you are and what is around you, plus gives the reader an insight into the filter that the writer is using to view that era/world.
