once you have the wherewithal to read them that is Indeed. I'm finding the Kindle app on the PC laptop unsatisfactory as there's too many distractions and the display quality isn't good enough. So I'm being drawn into another technology warzone and expected to spend the hundred quids or so on yet another tech consumer not-so-durable.
I have a Kindle Kindle plus a Samsung Tab plus various laptops all with Kindle on them. The Kindle hardware wins because it can be read in all sorts of lighting including those strange bright countries over on the continent (fellow Brits will get that one). They have just released an update and a new font that is as they say much nicer to read than the older one.
I am writing an ebook for Kindle, largely because I make heavy use of hyperlinks. I have found that it reads best on a Kindle, iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Amazon is going through the throes of changing its base format to something called Kindle Fire 8 (or KF8). This supports graphics embedded with paragraphs and other related features. At the moment, in addition to being supported on Kindle Fire, it is now supported on Kindle for Android (looks very good there), the base Kindle (they call it the $79 Kindle) and Kindle for iPad. The new format supports the improved fonts on their e-ink devices.
It would be great if the Kindle Fire was available outside the U.S. but some copyright issue apparently needs to be resolved I am told. In the meantime the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (now not available in U.S. due to a patent-related injunction last week) does a good job except when in bright sunlight.
+Jim Courtney I am both a Kindle and Samsung Tab 10.1 owner and use them for different things. Last night my Kindle updated to the new software and the font is definitely much nicer. I will have to take a look at what else it can do, as that is the only new feature I've noticed so far - The Kindle's best feature is it's e-ink screen, as I can read that outdoors really easily. It is why it will carry on selling despite other newer options.
