Howmanheyman 27571 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I am thinking of buying a Kindle, but worry I would miss the whole book experience, my son said the same. Im torn really. Now you know how Natalie Imbruglia felt, but I know what you you mean about old book covers and that, but, it would be good having them all in the same place. Cheers, Gemmill. Yep I'm as torn as dear ole Natalie You mean you're lying naked on the floor? I walked into that one didnt I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27571 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've had the kindle a couple of days now and I'm very pleased with it. If anyone is thinking of getting one I'd recommend it, easy to get the hang of, easy to set up to your wireless network, very impressed with it. Trouble is it's for christmas but I told the wife I was just going to 'make sure everythings ok and it works properly' before handing it over and now I don't want to wait for me new toy!

NJS 4006 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Does it light up in darkness? I rad somewhere it wasn't backlit. No - they sell a cover which has an inbuilt light which according to a couple of the reviews is a little bit iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen is meant to replicate a book and not strain your eyes like a computer screen would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Does it light up in darkness? I rad somewhere it wasn't backlit. No. It only uses battery when you change page apparently, lasts for about a month. Not backlit but zero glare. Screen is amzaaaaazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
