Again - maybe. But after loving my Kindle for two years, it sits quietly on my dresser while I read Kindle books on my iPhone, which does not need a night light and allows me to do a lot more than just read the book.
really. i tried to read kindle books on my ipod touch and i hated it. the screen didnt hold enough words. plus i dont like backlight. to further illustrate how great the kindle is: tonight a friend was talking about watership down, which i have not read. so i went to amazon, clicked the one click kindle button, and now the book is waiting for me on my nightstand. inatsnt, no docking, no hassle. love it. 5$.
Watership Down. Great book. A friend of mine named his band Watership Down. Then they got signed to a record label (Wind Up Records) and had to change their name b/c of copyright issues. Anywho, great book.
Oh - I recommend Kindle to anyone I come across who likes to read. I agree - it's really a great product. Lately, though - I read mostly at night and I don't want to disturb the natives, so I need a little light. And I haven't found a book light yet that doesn't pizz me (or the natives) off. At first I didn't like how few words made it on to the screen. Now, I just absent mindedly tap the edge of the screen and the next page quickly scrolls on, and I continue reading. If I read more in the daytime than night time (or for more than an hour or two at a time (battery life), I would not choose the iPhone, probably. Kindle rocks. But I bet there are more folks like me who don't like having to use a book light and have migrated to reading on their iPhones.
<-- Over 50 and can only see my blackberry with glasses. Kindle is great. Library for Kindle, not so much.
your days are numbered my friend. Have you not noticed yourself squinting to see the tv? It creeps up on you w/o you ever seeing it coming.
have been near sighted and blind as a bat since third grade. but still dont have reading glasses. every year my eye dr just tells me to wait, they're comin. i guess i'll just have to go for the little librarian look when i finally get to that point. :hihi:
