Hi everyone,
Thank you for your responses.
It is frustrating when technology changes so drastically in such a short amount of time.
I have another related question that I feel you may be able to answer:
If a manufacturer wanted to, do you think they could make an e-reader where you could have the ability to turn on and off a touch screen?
Part of the reason I’ve stuck with the kindle is that I learned the Jim Kwik speed reading technique. Part of the technique involves using your finger or a highlighter (with cap on) as a pacer, underlying the text as you read. I’ve found it very helpful.
It was only after months of doing it that I found I was technically doing it wrong — I was putting my finger directly on the screen. They corrected me, saying that you are supposed to not actually touch the screen (or pages if it is a physical book).
That being said, I actually prefer my way, and that is the reason why I’d rather no touch screen. Doing this really helped my reading speed and comprehension. It’s quite frustrating that everything has a touch screen now, though.
Gormagon, in terms of comments about the buttons, the early kindles have a few more buttons and you can actually look things up and bookmark, though admittedly, it is quite cumbersome.
