Kindle in Motion??

HLS · 01-28-2018, 08:21 PM

Anyone try one of these books?

I purchased Dean Koontz Ricochet Joe and decided to read on my ipad and it is animated! Kinda cool! Had no idea lol I guess Amazon is coming out with novels now with animated graphics.

I find the animation distracting, but I can see a place for it in some books.

There is an older thread with more information here and a little more technical information here.

I am finding the book boring. Too much like Odd Thomas.

Because it is in motion or because the book is boring?

Sorry I was rambling. The book was dreadful bad which is a shame for I love Dean Koontz. Animation was cool but not enough to make a real judgement

I liked Odd Thomas, the first book in the series. I have mixed emotions about the rest of the series, however. It didn't seem very "even."

I downloaded the Ricochet book to my Kindle (where none of this works) and to my Fire. I think it's kind of a cool idea. The book is free to read with Prime Books, so there was no risk. The also offer the Audible Ricochet book free, so now I have my first Audible book. I guess I'll try it on the Kindle Basic and on the Fire, but I'm still not that interested in Audible books.

The spin off Even Steven was better.

Could you tell me the author of this Ricochet? Apparently it is a popular book title.
Thanks!
