ORIGINAL: estebanana EH Do you use the kindle device or laptop? I like books in the flesh, but I have kindle on my laptop. Do you think the kindle device, should you have one, provides a book like feel to the reading? S, abou0t 20 years ago a busy of mine gave me an original kindle, small thin thing that lasted weeks on a single charge filled with hundreds of titles, about 15% were ones I had read but would reread and most were ones I was familure with and there were some I had never heard of. It took me a few years but I read almost all moo them one time or another. It didn't have a backlight is one needed a lamp or even a head lamp to read, think small off the grid cabin in Alaska. some time before he gave me the kindle I bout a first generation iPad that I still use every day with the kindle app. Over the years a drove a ****-ton of aircraft rivets and my hands/forarms don't like holding a book for long and the iPad became a life saver. winters are long and dark up here ;) When you guys posted the titles for those two books, I pulled out the iPad, turned on the wifi, typed Amazon in the browser, cut and pasted the titles from the Foro, and had them in my kindle all in all in about 45 seconds. Ive got my amazon set to 'one click" for books so I don't have to sign in etc. It takes some getting used, its not a paper book, but I find the convince of it worth so much more then collecting paper on a shelf. A lot of the obscure flamenco texts are not on kindle or other e formats. The gypsy book on another thread by the Flemish guy was though, but just the one. Im guessing there are a bunch of older generation kindle devices or older iPads to be had for just a few dollars if one wanted to try it out? After that Moose got me they put me on some pain meds and others for the nerve damage etc and for some reason I couldn't read, I just couldn't focus, it was really phuced up, bed bound for a year and then mostly so for another year and I couldn't read... The Big Red Books in a digital format would be cool!
