Right so!

How is the kindle for reference books? is there a button to take you straight to the index, one to take you straight back to where you were or do you have to scroll back and forth through everything?

 

[rettucs]

So does anyone use their kindle to read anymore ?

I do. I have the original Kindle and I love it. I won't use the Kindle fire to read because the screen is too bright. Its perfect on the reader.

well you can set bookmarks and stuff so I presume so. I haven't played around with the navigation much. Just read straight through.

Cheap Kindle all the way. The screen is perfect it feels more like a newspaper or magazine than a screen. It does take a bit of getting used to but it's totally worth it. I have more books on it than I'll probably ever read. The battery is great. they're small enough to fit in your jacket pocket the best thing is that I'm a bit dyslexic so it's great to be able to double line space everything.

Lastly the most important thing is that the cheaper ones are still a fairly single purpose device. So if you only take it out to read you can focus on reading. I don't think you'd get as much reading done on it if you could get distracted by the ability to check your email or watch a tv show.

amen to all that. Couldn't agree more.
