Kindle

Yeah, finally read the directions, no backlit option... too bad! Be great for reading in bed w/o disturbing your partner... well, maybe the next version.

Seriously - a little book light is not at all expensive. I must have 3 or 4 in junk drawers around the house I could send you. The fact that it's electronic paperless ink or whatever they call it and not backlit is one of their selling points.

Hi Everyone,

New to this site, so I let you know that the Kindle is good, but prehaps you should look at the Sony E-Reader as another options at $200 dollar lower then the kindle and you don't have to send to back to Amazon to get it fixed if it breaks down at all...same features less money.

My wife has got it for Christmas and she loves the Sony E-Reader...

Just an FYI

Really? The Sony reader is only $50??? I would have gotten one for each of my kids if I'd known that.

One of my students and a woman in my cancer support group got Kindles for Christmas. I'm eagerly showing them tricks and shortcuts.

I am happily 13% (or so LOL) through my first Kindle book (The Help, LOVE IT!) and am so very impressed. I have found that it has broken me of one of my very worst lifelong reading habits. When I read, I can't help but glance at the bottom of the right hand page coming up as I turn the page, so I am always jumping ahead, racing to get to what I saw, etc. With the Kindle, it is contained enough that I am only focusing on what I am reading, yet large enough that I don't feel like I am constantly turning pages. I really feel like I am savoring the book more than I would if it was on paper. Another point for the Kindle!

Question for Kindle Lovers,

While getting a mani / pedi over the weekend, a woman was reading to her daughter with the Kindle.
The print looked extremely small to me.
I assume there's a way to enlarge the font, correct?
TIA

[Jamie5632]

Yes, there are several options for font size. I found the one I like best for normal reading, but enlarge it when I am on the elipitical and a little more bouncy!

thanks, Jamie, for the response.

I use the next-to-largest size for reading, but the smallest size if I'm skipping through something or re-reading to find something I should have bookmarked. I use the bookmark feature a LOT. I also use the dictionary cursor enough that if I hear a word somewhere or am reading something else and want a word meaning, I miss having that feature for every single aspect of my life.
