I've been using my Kindle since Christmas and its revitalised my reading. What I really like is the convenience and how easy it is to buy books & explore new authors. Amazon's book store is so simple to use that its easy to buy way too many books to get through. I've used the "download sample" functionality to try before buying. I think that one of the biggest plus points is the way books are kept in sync between my Kindle and iPhone. Its great to be able to put down my Kindle then pick up my phone and read from where I left off. This is ideal for those odd moments when I'm travelling and need something to read. I have tried to read newspapers on the Kindle & trialled The Times & Daily Telegraph and whilst I loved the convenience of having the paper delivered wirelessly every morning I felt that the lack of photos meant that the experience was somewhat lacking. On the other hand, I suppose that paying less than £10 a month for a quality newspaper is still good value for money, but maybe not when compared against The Times app on an iPad. I don't use the web browser at all, as the experience is just too slow in my opinion. So, overall I am very happy with my Kindle for reading & purchasing books and would recommend it without reservation. However, if you want a richer media experience, then you should probably look elsewhere ..... Cheers for now, |
