touch : Kindle reading on the iPod touch is very nice. The font sizing is adjustable, and the text is very sharp and dark. The screen page real estate is much smaller than the Kindle, but not bad. Both the Kindle and the touch have a narrow viewing area, which means the eyes have an easy time scanning back and forth. With the Apple device you must page more often. I’m happy enough. Who knows, maybe I’ll start eyeball reading more often. Since I sold the Kindle there have been times when I wished I still had one when browsing Amazon and seeing a book I wanted that’s much cheaper than a hard copy. Especially for instant accessibility. Although I prefer to listen to audio books, there are times when I have to read with my eyes. I’m in two book clubs and often the monthly selections for discussion are not available on audio. More often than not, they aren’t available for the Kindle either, but when ordering these old classic science fiction novels on Amazon, I keep seeing that notice that encourages authors to provide a Kindle edition. Lucky for me Audible.com is actually reprinting tons of classic SF. It’s strange waiting to see which high tech technology old science fiction will show up on first. I’m currently listening to The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov after finishing an audio edition of The Green Hills of Earth by Heinlein. But I considered it a bummer that Babel-17 by Delany was only available in a dead tree edition. I especially prefer ebook reading when the book I want to read is large and heavy to hold, like The Byrds: Timeless Flight Revisited 4th edition, a biography of the great 1960s rock group by Johnny Rogan. The damn tome is as big as War and Peace. I have to fold a pillow in my lap to hold it up. An ebook version to read would be wonderful. |
