E-Readers
Of the three parts, the only one I paid close attention to was the comment about i-Books. Hands down, the best software for reading. For me, this is, anymore, reading in bed or on the couch. Reclining, as it were.
Kindle UI is clunky, to me. Awkward and ungainly — that’s me. I adore that Kindle has brought reading to new heights with its inexpensive and quotidian E-Readers, but I like not the look or feel. That’s me.
The other reader I use frequently is the 3M Library thing. Its User Interface is actually the worst of all, but it it is merely an interface for a public library. As a digital equivalent of index cards with a Dewey Decimal system numbering? Yeah, it works — after a fashion — and with its price?
The convenience of the library itself makes it so I’m willing to put up with the non-scrolling, slightly wonky software — feels like an E-Reader from the early days. More like a text tool, only, no real selection process.
Support Your Public Library!
I’d complain more, but the software — like the public (digital) library — is free, and freely available. Its slightly anachronistic and archaic UI eccentricities are easily overlooked — the price is right, and the local digital library service is excellent.
E-Readers
Whenever I get a choice, I would greatly prefer the Apple user experience for the E-Readers — consider, too, that this is an opinion. I was late to try the readers, and despite some bleeding edge proclivities with certain technology, I was slow to adapt to the “books on tablets,” or phones.
E-Readers
All my books are available in either format, all three, printed, Kindle, and iBooks. Some are even still available as PDF — and one is currently free, for a little while:
San Pedro Springs free — for a limited time.
