Android isn't really any better, so as far as I am concerned, no idiot-phone will ever replace a real computer. As for the Kindle app, Jim & I used Stanza on the iPhone & were relatively happy with it. It is obvious with that app how to access books, including free ones. Jim also recommends Barnes & Noble's app for e-books rather than Amazon's Kindle. Hope the above is at least somewhat helpful.Rae Trigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727737549878623376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565179530147649549.post-28732958843371027752011-09-18T10:13:54.354-04:002011-09-18T10:13:54.354-04:00First, I'd like to mention how much I love thi...First, I'd like to mention how much I love this piece. The colour and detail is fantastic!<br /><br />Regarding your ipad, I think pitching it into a pond is a good choice. I am a lover of computers and technology in general, and have been for my entire life. I'm all for advancement and new tech, however when something drastically new comes into view, I always regard it with trepidation. The reason being: It never quite works as well as it should, or it doesn't operates how you would expect it.<br /><br />Apple's products are by far the most polished when it comes to introducing new technologies to the world, but the problem is that developers sometimes try to push the tech a little too far. At the same time, the simplicity and "dumbing-down" of these products take away control from the user that are available on standard computers. Very frustrating. If I want to do something my way, I should have that option.<br /><br />At the end of the day, Apple's products are toys, not tools, and should be treated as such. As the tech progresses, my thoughts on this might change. Actually, this is very likely.<br /><br />Don't get me started on the lack of user manuals for software (especially games). It seems the best way to learn new software is to poke and prod it, see what things do... Or read user forums.<br /><br />I commend you for embracing new technologies. But if I were you, I'd stick with traditional pencil and paper.<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed my ramblings.
