Kindle
This is a far cry from what I think it was Sony that came out with an electronic book some years ago. I am already so sold on this. I can already anticipate the need to watch out for impulse buying. I often have made notes of a title being promoted on TV that sounds like something I’d like to read but usually hold off. With this, for $9.99 I can have a book wirelessly sent to my Kindle in minutes. I don’t know if you have this, Jo, but anything that requires rapid eye movement for some time, such as reading a newspaper and online jigsaw puzzles, dries them out and they begin to sting. The larger font and smaller pages require little back and forth movement and are turned by a touch on either side of the screen. I read for an hour this afternoon without once refocusing around the floaters and without stinging. It’s nice to move the cursor to “bookmark” when stopping instead of using a physical bookmark. I would not have bought this for myself. You’re right, Jo–when it comes to sons, I’ve decided to forgive his long ago teen-age resistance to mowing the yard and taking out the garbage and keep him in the will.
