pre-purchase request: screenshot of particular kids' book

katenepveu · 12-31-2017, 03:46 PM

Hi all,

My 4th grader is interested in an eInk Kindle (the $80-with-ads one, that's just "Kindle"), but wants to read a particular series of books that has a lot of different fonts, pictures, etc.

Would someone with the current 6" eInk Kindle be willing to download a sample of this book and post a screenshot of how it looks, so I can tell whether it's suited to the use my kid wants to put it?

Thanks so much.

Edit: I am answered, thank you all for your kind help!

Thanks so much.

Looked at sample on my Voyage, only able to see a couple of pages, mostly graphics..print very small on the one page with picture and text. Hard for me to read but then I am a senior. Probably worth a try. Happy New Year

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it! Happy New Year to you as well.

(Since that's higher-res than the one we were looking at, I'd still be interested to hear from someone with the basic model, especially with a picture or screenshot!)

While it isn't the exact book you linked to, here's a screenshot from another book in the same series.

Hope this helps.

(Edit: to shalym) Thank you so much, that's wonderful. I really appreciate it! It's a relief to know that if my kid decides to go this route, the savings won't have been in vain.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
