Kindle

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Last week I switched to reading both the New York Times and the New Yorker on the Kindle. Reading on the Kindle is pretty enjoyable. The screen does a great job with text and a decent job with photos. Browsing articles is a little slow but the interface is pretty easy to navigate. Wireless delivery is what really makes this device successful. I can shop for any book on either my Kindle or my web browser and it will automatically appear on my Kindle. No need to hook the Kindle up to your PC or logon to a WiFi hotspot.

There is one downside, it is pretty hard to share a Kindle. Sherry and I can no longer fight share the paper in the morning. Of course this is an upside as well, since Sherry pretty much destroys any periodical she is reading.
