With a Kindle Paper White you don't need to swipe the page. Just touching it on
the right or left side is sufficient to turn/change page.

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!

I'll have to go and have a play with Ray's new Kindle. And I hope he's
discovered that for himself!

You can probably tell by the pattern of finger prints on the screen. Using the
dictionary by pressing the word to be looked up with a finger takes some skill
unless you have tiny fingers. Amazon sells a stylus to do it for around £10.
Last time I looked I found somebody selling a stylus for about 30p in
packets of
three.

Tonight we had dinner with some friends (California Cross pub - very
good!) and one of them mentioned this. Ray hadn't found it but he has
now! I think he needs to accept that these things take a bit of
learning but as he is patient in every other area of life, I suppose he
may be permitted a little impatience with technology that doesn't much
interest him!

£10?! Seems a bit silly. Surely something else the right shape and size
would do instead, or does the stylus would have to be made of a
particular material?

Mind you, I know nahhthing, being a Kindle and tablet-less Luddite
whose mobile phone doesn't even take photos or connect to T'interweb.

I have one like that.

Whereas I don't even have one :-)

I use a stylus with my iPad as I have diabetic nerve damage to my
finger tips. The cheap Amazon ones are fine but the cheap ones are now
tending to need more care or they miss letters.

I tried various items but none worked. I found a "how to make a
stylus" on the internet. Rubbish! I don't know whether you could make
one. They have a soft rubber tip.

Does the rubber end of a rubber tipped pencil work?

I considered that. :-)

I had enough trouble subscribing to one group without complicating

Next time she can do it herself.

Ye gods, you men are smug! ;-)

Ah, but we have reason to be.
