Well I just bought a Kindle – Might as well see what our book looks like on it….

That and I bought the New Steve Simon book: The Passionate Photographer

I have listened to Steve on TWIP Photo and I like his attitude but I have no clue how to work as a photo journalist, maybe this will provide some incite to his career.

Coincidentally, I just bought an iriver, due to google books integration (I already have two large kindles). Apparently this book is sold for $10 less over here: http://goo.gl/nRz7e
yeah, loving my kindle… the only time I buy print copies is that if I know I will share the book with someone else…
+Ivan Yudhi I find it interesting that this photo book is 4 bucks less on kindle.. I would think a photo based book would lose much on the Kindle…
+Romain Guy do you have this new one? I am curious – those that have them say its the best one yet….
+Brent Burzycki it won't lose anything if you open it on ipad.. or your monitor… of course it would be foolish to buy a photobook to be used on regular kindle…
+Ivan Yudhi +Romain Guy – thanks…. also good point – i can read the color books on the reader for ipad and text on the standard one…. the touch version is still awhile out right?
+Romain Guy So it ships after the Fire…. hmm.. Thou the new Amazon browser interests me.. I cannot see having yet another Tablet…
Thou it is running some sort of Android OS right? – Is there any talk about Aps and if they will only be the ones from the Amazon App store that will run?
+Romain Guy crud… now I might need to get one….
thinking of getting one myself.. but I already have ipad… don't need more toys….. 🙁
+Ivan Yudhi we all need more toys… we just should not spend so much money on them.. 🙂
I use the Kindle app on my iPad, +Brent Burzycki… I LOOOVE it!! I love going places without having to carry books, but having lots to read. I can read in bed with the lights out and don't have to balance a reading light whilst holding the page open. (oops, I shouldn't mention that perk. Can't do that with an actual Kindle) I love how quickly you can buy, download and start reading a new book. I don't have to store or find a home for books that have outlived their usefulness. Oh hell, I just love it!!
+Karen Hutton I got the kindle leather cover attached with light… power comes from kindle… love it..
+Ivan Yudhi… REALLY? I didn't know about that one!! That is soooo cooooool!! and now officially makes Kindles the BEST ever! Besides the kindle app on the iPad that is. heh. :-))
+Ivan Yudhi So that's why the case it 30 bucks?
+Karen Hutton I hate to say I still like to totally disconnect from tech with a paper book….
+Karen Hutton yeah… 🙂 I can't really stand reading on ipad though… the glass and backlight is really straining my eyes… so I just use it for photobooks mostly… when I want to read I use my kindle…
different device for different purpose 🙂
Yep… it's so cool we have options +Ivan Yudhi! We are verrry lucky.
Love my kindle. been buying books like crazy. Wish i could borrow some decent ones at the library with kindle borrow
Odd question – but are they easy/comfortable to hold? I have an aunt with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and she has a hard time holding a book for very long. We were considering getting her one for Christmas.
We have 2 kindle at home .. and they are both used a lot. It is very light to hold and easy to operate. It is only a pleasure using the Kindle!!!
I have that case with the light. Many times in bed i take it out of the case and it is so light
What, you didn't buy the Kindle Fire? WTF?
+elizabeth hahn the kindle that I have (regular 3g) is VERY easy and comfortable to hold WITHOUT the cover… the cover add some depth and might be a bit uncomfortable to some people… I have big hands so no problem here 🙂
but it's still a lot better to handhold than Ipad, which feels heavy after long period… with ipad, I just lay on my bed… put a pillow on my tummy, and put the Ipad on top of the pillow… (I know.. I know… I'm lazy….)
Oh nice, my other aunt was thinking ipad, but I think they'd be harder for her to hold, and a bit overkill for what she needs. The Kindle Fire actually looks perfect. And, of course we aren't sure if she will like it or not.
Ipad is heavier to read with. My kindle 3 is perfect for just text. Ipad better for reading color magazines but yeah its heavier.. I use a pillow to prop up in bed.
+William Shockley no not yet…. maybe….
The only thing keeping me from the kindle fire is the lack of external storage. I can't live with only 8gb. Still leaning on the nook color, and then flashing it to CM7 or maybe MIUI.
+William Shockley hmmm……
