I'm eager for more feedback on the Kindle Fire w/ Logos reading experience. I have seen some comments on other threads, but I am hoping for more feedback now that it has been out nearly two weeks (what a long time!!
) I am thinking of asking for a Kindle Fire for Christmas . . . I would love an iPad2, but that won't happen by a long shot.
Specifically, I'd like feedback on these areas, as well as any other input anyone can add that is helpful
- backlit vs. e-ink. Yeah, I know the latter is easier on the eyes. But is the kindle fire experience different/harder than, say, a laptop? Or an iPad or iPod? I read on the computer all the time, and it doesn't bother me much. of course on my laptop I get to choose a gray background, which may make it easier on the eyes. I imagine Kindle Fire doesn't have that?
- processor speed. I hear it is slower, with some lag. how bad is it, actually? I know this is more a subjective impression. I have gotten used to some of the L4 slowness, others can't get over it. But what is it like turning pages on the Fire? with the gen3 Kindle, there is some flicker between pages, but it really doesn't bother me, even though I'd like it seamless
- Screen size. For reading Logos books, do you get the impression you feel more like you are reading a "book"? And, I assume you can have a split screen for bible/commentary? how does that feel on the Fire?
- Battery life. I am sure the specs are out there. But what is the relative battery life when using Logos primarily?
Thanks for any input you can give!
