But the font on Fire is far nicer and it's good to have the net and email, especially for people as non-tablet, android and the rest as we are. <br /><br />Nice post, Sara. Reading a Kindle at the Edinburgh Festival? Brilliant. A friend wrote to me over Christmas: 'If someone were to give me a Kindle I'd smash it against the wall.' I shall not bother to reply.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-21574458962254638602011-10-11T17:04:43.292+01:002011-10-11T17:04:43.292+01:00Absolutely - could not agree with you more.

You nailed it, Sara. These days, people want choice. Some people choose paper, some choose e-paper. Some use one mode at home and another when on the move. Some people even read on iphones, which I can't imagine.<br />The new devices actually make it easier for people to read mor ebooks - which has to be a good thing, doesn't it?Roz Morris aka @Roz_Morris .

Gosh, I wish more people would do that. Everything's to play for and we all need to keep an open mind. Good luck with your projects.

Also, the latest Kindle is advertised for $75 (£48)in the States but is £89 over here, nearly twice what it costs our American cousins. Seems we lose out yet again, which is a shame as a price in the region of £50 would be more likely to tempt UK readers to try a Kindle.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.com
