They should calle the Kindle a Windle because people who have one are Winners and you only have to change one letter to say that, but then change it back to Kindle because people who have kindles are kind.
or something like that.

I really think they're ace, if I didn't read it on my ipad, I'd get one.

I love mine
battery lasts ages, it's small, light and pretty hardy. And you can store thousands of books on it. Wintimes.

I made the mistake of putting hundreds of books onto mine when i got it,
soon removed most of them when i realised that there's no way to quickly look through them.

Perhaps that's the reason Waterstones wasn't looted,
all the kids have Kindles.

Sort them into collections.

It's still slow as hell.
Not that it matters anyway, i don't need to carry hundreds of books around with me.

I've never understood the putting hundreds of books on,
but then it can take me six months to read a book. I shove all the ones I have read into a collection so that they aren't cluttering up the home screen, and I have another collection for guide books. That's all I need.

I delete once i've read them, generally i'll only have 3-4 books on there.


Edit: six months to read a book?

That's just the modern version of burning books.
You're no better than Hitler.

Also, not always six months, but I'm not a particularly fast reader and I'm easily distracted.

Get one anyway.
Reading on a Kindle screen is a world away from reading on an LCD screen.

Although I know exactly what you mean, I don't have any problems with reading from the ipad screen, I put the brightness down (which doubles as a battery saver) and in the kindle app they don't use black'n'white (unless you want too) as the contrast is to
high for the eye on an LCD at prolonged periods.
