More IMHO perhaps but since it’s about books (sort of) I’ll put it here.
I got a Kindle from my brother for Christmas. (Total surprise since usually we exchange token gifts; also one of those “probably never would have bought one for myself but like having it” gifts.)
My likes:
-Having a large library of classics that were mostly free or very cheap (some are free and not worth it and paying a couple of dollars gets a much more readable copy)
-The ability to make annotations
-The ability to look up a word you’re not familiar with
My dislikes:
-While $10 is cheaper to pay than $30 for a new book, it’s usually more than or just equal to the price of a paperback book or a book available through half.com or the discount bins of a bookstore
-The amount of text on the screen even when the font size is on medium (small is too small for my eyes in most works) makes page turning near constant
-The inability to photocopy a picture or article*
-A je ne sais quoi element I miss about the tactile of a book.
-Anything ‘irregular’ (meaning not a regular book with chapters but a collection- The Complete Works of _____ or The Bible for example) is often hard to navigate
What are your opinions and likes/dislikes?
*I’ve been meaning to ask: can you print from the text if you save the kindle books to your computer (which I understand you can do but I haven’t done yet)?
