It just hit me today that I should just get another of the keyboard device that I loved, while I can still buy one, rather than continue to make myself like this one. Because I'm pretty sure that in the next couple of years, touchscreens will probably be all that is available. Plus, I already own a Kindle Keyboard lighted cover that is just sitting here empty and unloved. New Kindle Keyboard will be here tomorrow.
And I'll be able to put the pictures of my kids back on with the screensaver hacks and I'll be able to use the Calibre Collection Plug-in again.  |
I have the fire, and I can read on it, but the touch interface is not winning here. Yes, it's much better for magazines (I expected that, with the slightly larger screen and the colour), but there is no way to hold it in your left hand, and flip pages without using your right hand. What a nuisance. Glad I have my KK 3G.
