My Christmas Wish Granted (Part 2) no comments
This is the second part containing the cons of my new techie toy. For the pros, see part one.
Cons:
• You need to buy a case. There are just too many ways to ruin this lovely, sleek piece of technology.
• No built-in light. I understand why the screen isn't back-lit, it reduces eye strain, but I wish there was a little attachable light of some kind so I could read at night.
• It failed the plane test. I took the Kindle with me on a plane trip but it counts as an electronic and so I could not read it during take-off.
• I'm disappointed in the pdf reader feature. You have to pay to transfer any pdf file to your Kindle.
So my added positive insight for the day: THE KINDLE IS SO EASY TO TAKE WITH YOU. If you are at all like me where you hear about a book you want to buy and then never go online to order it or make it to a book store… this is the solution for you! So many new books come out in my industry all the time that I want to read. I'm not giving up on "real" books but the kind of books (I love buying leather bound classics) that I want to read on the run that keep me in touch with technology are the best bet on the Kindle.
Have you found any negatives about the Kindle?
