I am starting today and am going to try to do it for the rest of the month. Maybe I’ll carry on until September the 5th, then it’d be BEDFAM. Blog every day for a month. Which is more of a mouthful, but essentially the same thing.
I downloaded the Kindle app to my iPhone a few months ago and have been reading my first eBook on it – the first eBook that I haven’t read the actual book equivalent of first, that is. In this case, that’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (no spoilers please!).
Do any of you (theoretical you that is, unless anybody reads this – hello!) have eReaders (such an awkward name, no?) or iPads or Kindles? I do not buy in to this idea that they are going to take off in any big way. The paperless office was touted as coming 15 years ago, and today computers put more ink on paper than ever.
Saying that, having used both the Kindle app and Apple’s iBooks app, I much prefer the Kindle. It automatically remembers where I am when I switch apps or go to the home screen, whereas with iBooks you have to tap Library for it to remember. iBooks is also laggy, at least on my iPhone and the iPad I tried it on on launch day. I was in the Apple Store in Cardiff that morning.
