I have one of these :Thanks for that Grant and Viv. I really want a device to primarily read books on and preferably in full daylight, hence the interest in the Kindle. Using it for other things is not an issue. But like Viv I don't like the idea of someone controlling my library, although I believe that Amazon have pulled back from deleting books from your Kindle, probably due to a couple of law suits that they settled out of court. But I don't think that you can back up from a Kindle. I also have a problem in that I have about 3,000 books around the house and if I could reduce this number I would get considerable brownie points from the authorities. Why the books are a problem I don't know. It is perfectly possible to navigate around the house with a bit of practice and if you keep your elbows tucked in. This does not include magazines. Only 4 books on Linux but I still have about 10 on Widows. Maybe an opportunity to reduce the pile there. This is for a birthday present for the authorities so I might just get a Kindle and suck it and see. I suppose another year of "WTF did you get me that for?" won't hurt. (She wouldn't dream of looking at anything to do with Linux so I'm safe here.) George |
