Technology: Kindle on iPAD, another option 2012-06-06 - Columbia, KY - Photo CM screenshot. Linda Cook writes:I love the written word, as well as grammar and spelling. (our going joke is I'm Ronald's spell check) You don't see me often without a book nearby, or my iPad. I've got the Kindle app on it, and buy at least a book a month. Much, much better than television--my imagination can take me anywhere. If I want to re-read a passage, I don't have to wait for it to air again. I love it when I read something again, and get a totally different take on what the author was talking about. - Linda Cook Thanks, Linda Cook for reminding us of how important Reading is in our lives, how increasingly important libraries still are. An e-Reader is always the next best thing - and sometimes they have huge advantages - to a real book one can hold, feel, smell and read. An Amazon Kindle or B & N Nook basic e-Reader may be the cheapest, easiest to carry around e-reader. They fit in a pocket or purse. With Kindle 3G new books can be downloaded almost anywhere, and the e-ink gives a more real book feel. But many of us, the elegance and ease of use of an iPad - and the fact that is backlit and can be read in bed, makes it - or a Kindle Fire - a better choice. I prefer the iPAD in almost every situation, but own a Kindle to see how CM reads on a Kindle. Kindle is very awkward by comparison. The screen shot above is a page from a Kindle book, read on an iPAD. -EW Permalink | Comments?
