angelad:
ONE of the best things eva
Boston: I prefer the ergonomics of the K2, the faster page turns, the percentage read indicator, the 16 tone graphics and the 5-way toggle. There are a few things I miss from the K1 though, especially the SD card. AND, I'm still as enraptured with Kindle as I was a year and more ago when mine arrived.
My daughter has read all 9 of the Sookie books already . . . I'm still working on #7. She's impatient with me to finish so we can discuss them without her providing spoilers. we watch 'True Blood' together too and enjoy the differences between Alan Ball's vision and Charlaine Harris's. My daughter's a magnet school student, though she's a somewhat reluctant student where the English department is concerned. Sharing these books and the TV series with me is sharpening her critical skills in 'literature' painlessly. Better, I think, to have fun sharpening those skills than to have them forced down one's throat by reading books that, although it's good to have read them at some point, are of no interest to a 16 year old girl.
The educational possibilities of the Kindle never occurred to me when I gave it to her. Also, the additional means of connecting with her. Imagine my surprise.
Kindle: the best thing eva? E-readers, yeah, one of the best things ever and Kindle, possibly better than the rest for now.
