[Reading-hall-of-fame] Kindle

[William Teale]

Hello Jan,

They're great, actually.  But I see them co-existing with conventional  
print/on-paper books, as well as with multimedia texts rather than  
replacing--each affords something slightly different form my  
experience.  Also, the Kindle doesn't understand (paper) picture books  
and the page turn at all. It will be interesting, though, to see if a  
new page turn develops as a result of this technology.

Dear all
I have been exploring the Kindle on the Amazon site today. It has  
really only just hit Australia so there has not been much information  
about it. Has anyone got one, used one? Will they take over from books??

Look forward to your views

Jan
