I've only ever had one nasty comment, anonymous of course. Shame, otherwise I'd have visited their blog and been 'sweet! And I do mean kind and generous with my reply.
I love to read what other people write and the comments and I try to be careful not to say something that could cause hurt, when I write.
So I'm not fazed by comments that damn kindles and declare they're not as good as holding a real book. There are some aspects , which can be difficult to do with a kindle, until you really get to know how to use their idiosyncrasies.
I read real books, I like the look of them, the feel of them and the smell of a new book, however kindles have their uses too.
I have a Paperwhite kindle, its my second kindle so I've had a kindle since they were first came on the scene in 2007. I took it on our second visit to Australia in 2008.
It is very convenient to read in bed as its back lit, so when I'm awake at three in the morning, as I often am, I can read without my bedside light and not disturb my husband. (Actually it wouldn't bother him if I did switch on my light) And just one aspect that I need, is that I can enlarge the font. Our book group's book a month ago had faint small print.. so I bought a kindle copy for ease to read. A while ago I wrote about things I hated about books and size and depth of print being faint and small was just one of them.
So please don't knock kindles, because there are those of us who rely on the convenience and ease of using them. Having a case like this one pictured here, which is mine, makes it more like a book.
I love my kindle! What do you think?
