I think so. Matthew uses his computer for wages, accounts, labelling etc and some correspondence. And I use mine for fielding enquiries and correspondence about that. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I know nothing about Kindle but the wife has a Kobo as both she and it are Canadian and if she has a problem with it she gets to have a long chat with a fellow Canadian and it's Toll free, a big perk as far as she is concerned. |

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! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

I _could_ swipe to turn pages on my Kindle Fire HD (last year's model), but just touching the side of the screen works. |

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.
