What a great way to start off the new year than with a new toy – a kindle. Having filled up with many a good read (I hope) I’ve gotten stuck in and actually feel it’s a more comfortable read for me; and I’m not even squished on a packed tube yet.
Best feature by far is the dictionary that brings up a definition whenever you move the cursor next to a word.
Most perplexing feature I’ve found is that all books begin on the first page of the first chapter. Perhaps it’s just me that wants to read all the bits the author / publisher include before the ‘kindle start’? Glad to see they still include it all at the beginning, especially when these pieces are explanations or quote that must be there at the beginning to be read first? But by including them on the kindle version I do wonder why this strange non-beginning default has been chosen.
Glad there’s a work around – normally is. Expect some book reviews soon.
Just bought my dad a Kindle for his Christmas/Birthday as well. Should save on shelf space at the very least. :)
