Yes, that's why I fell in love with Kindle's screen, bookmark and when turning on next page or any familiar subject that I use the search where I read that particular subject from - very helpful indeed....I learned new deep words, old unheard-of places and even people.
Well, my friend still using her Kindle than her Nook, she's having problem with glaring at the screen in well-lit room/bright sunny day. LOL
waste of money for one feature (sharing e-books), she regret that!
I'm into serial, notorious crimes and unsolved mysteries - some war histories and invention that was used to torture humans (criminal or innocent) and why it started in the 1st place.
Woman is the 1st serial killer wooow... unbeatable 600 over killings and torture.
History of witches and nursery rhymes todays was actually an enchantment etc....hehehe... that's why I got into deep reading nowadays.
I will try to go to the anniversary as long as I have staffs by then.
*wishlist* I've been wanting to meet you all.hehehe.

Right, Kindle is for heavy / serious readers, those that have previously enjoyed a real book. For those that prefer multimedia or colours, then iPad would be best for consuming such materials, i.e. magazines and videos.
I can't live without the dictionary too - I keep checking words as I read. I never do that when reading a real book - too lazy to keep a big bulky dictionary next to me haha. My improvement in vocabulary can definitely be attributed to this device 
Will you happen to be in KL on the week of Apr 23 & 24? If so, do pay us a visit at our 3rd anniversary event ya! |
