Kindle Paperwhite: My Review

Kindle Paperwhite: My Review

by SB Sarah | October 03 | Wednesday | 50 Comments

Last night my Kindle Paperwhite (which I've been calling the Kindle Paperweight without meaning to, and the name has stuck) arrived. I had this scheduled on my calendar as soon as I received the shipping notification. I wanted time completely alone to set up the Kindle - and to my… read more »

Bezos and Butthead: My Review of the Kindle Fire

by SB Sarah | November 16 | Wednesday | 30 Comments

I had two questions when I opened the Kindle Fire package and started to play with the device last night: 1. Would this device be as easy to use as the other Kindle products, the ones that come with the world’s shortest printed user guide? 2. Who is the ideal… read more »

Random Musings on the Kobo Reader App

by SB Sarah | June 20 | Monday | 21 Comments

Lately I’ve been using the Kobo app on the iPad to read, and I found myself turning to the iPad in the evening more often than the Kindle. I’ve been on a reading tear, not only because of the RITA Reader Reviews, which have damaged the schedule of my TBR… read more »

Lending Kindles at the Library

by SB Sarah | June 15 | Wednesday | 36 Comments

I admit, I’m terribly curious to find out what the Kindle on-device library lending will look like, whenever it arrives this fall. But I learned recently of another library lending program that totally knocked my socks off. At the Cudahy Family Library in Cudahy, Wisconsin - where is that, you… read more »

Links: Chase, Kobo, and Backhanded Insults

by SB Sarah | May 23 | Monday | 62 Comments

A hard-to-find Loretta Chase is on Amazon for $2.99 digitally. I don’t know who “NYLA” is as a publisher, but with the square cover art and the artistic style of the image, I’m wondering if Chase self-published this book. Anyone know? First out of the gate in News From My… read more »

Amazon Announces Kindle Library Lending

by SB Sarah | April 20 | Wednesday | 43 Comments

I had a feeling this would come eventually: Amazon announces library lending for the Kindle. Over 11,000 libraries are going to be linked to the Kindle universe “later this year” and according to the press release: Customers will be able to check out a Kindle book from their local library… read more »

Kindle Software Update Brings Page Numbers, Ratings, Opt-In Sharing

by SB Sarah | February 22 | Tuesday | 47 Comments

There’s a software update coming to the Kindle, with some features that I suspect users will very much enjoy. First, page numbers, not locations, so as to make the citing of passages easier for people who cite things regularly. 2 WOOHOOs and a fist pump for that. Second, public notes.… read more »

Device in your Hand

by SB Sarah | February 17 | Thursday | 105 Comments

If you are left handed, and you use a digital reader, in which hand do you hold the device? Conversely, if you are right handed, and you use a digital reader, in which hand do you hold your device? This was something Jane Litte and I were talking about yesterday… read more »

Digital Reader Review Week: The Bookeen Cybook Opus by Kathlyn

by SB Sarah | October 14 | Thursday | 22 Comments

After I started this week’s round up of reviews and opinions on various ereaders available to the book-reading, device-buying public, I received a mini review of the Bookeen Cybook Opus from Kathlyn. I asked if she’d be willing to expand on her review and describe what she likes about her… read more »

Digital Reader Review Week: The Kindle III

by SB Sarah | October 12 | Tuesday | 58 Comments

I write this with dismay, honestly. Despite some major faults, the Kindle does digital book reading, loading, and buying so well, and works so well for me, I’m using the Kindle. Not even the Sony Mercedes ebook reader could lure me away. Every time I sit down at my computer,… read more »
