Hmmmm. He's having a bit of a love/hate with the new one at present!
He likes the backlit screen but finds the whole ordering and accessing
books thing a bit more difficult. It's only a question of getting used
to it though!

I've never ordered via a Kindle. I preferred the old Kindle's physical
switches
for turning pages to the current touch screen. There are some improvements to
the software, but I could have lived without them. At least the spooky dead
authors screen saver has gone.

Lol! The 'spooky dead authors' have never occurred to me. Thanks for
that fragrant thought! I have the old style Kindle and think the
physical switches are probably easier to use if you're awake at 4am and
wanting to read without moving your hand and disturbing your partner!
I'm quite surprised they got rid of those as they were just so easy to
use.

The next generation of Kindle is going back to using physical switches.

Really?! Then I'll be holding on for one of those! It sounds very
wimpish but if you're lying on your side to read in the small hours,
it's so much simpler to do one click with a thumb onto the next page.
Swiping across the screen just isn't as easy. I often read Kindle books
on my iPad and wouldn't be without it but it's an entirely different
and more cumbersome process for bed time reading!
