I love the Amazon book store, but I'm just not sure my next reader will be a Kindle. Mostly because of aesthetic reasons. I'm a K2 user--and I love it--but the K3 just feels cheaper and less solid to me; and I hate the skinny page-turn buttons and the d-pad. I just haven't found a comfortable way to hold a K3 yet. And BTW, there's a K3 in my household, so I've had ample time to warm up to it and haven't. So unless the next generation of Kindles actually _adds_ some real substance to its "style," count me out. But I certainly won't complain if my K2 lasts forever, either.  |
"Oh yeah, this thing has WiFi." *opens bookstore* "meh." *opens browser* "lol." *turns off wifi* was my eperience. I actually enjoy the process of sideloading, converting, making sure the format is right etc. I find it relaxing.
Have you tried reading the K3 in a good bookstyle cover? I mean, obviously you have; you aren't exactly new to this stuff. But just in case you haven't. The K3 would be too diminutive for me to read naked, or for that matter without a cover.
