I know what you mean about the type fonts, but the photographs are just as impressive on the small screen.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-64548929350466809882012-01-03T16:21:46.745+00:002012-01-03T16:21:46.745+00:00Martin,

Tip: my friend Gerry did some tests, and concluded that white on black text in Kindle used only a third as much battery. Worth knowing.<br /><br />N.B. if you're tempted by the Blur e-book offer, I only discovered after getting hold of the iPhone that the e-book conversion can only handle certain type fonts -- hence the dog's breakfast on the title page, etc.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-55070771207257379932012-01-03T15:50:55.212+00:002012-01-03T15:50:55.212+00:00I'm still finding my way around the Samsung.

Having my Kindle library on board is fun, and I can view your 'Curriculum' now, courtesy of the free Aldiko app. Had a real problem trying to sync with my Mac, then discovered that Samsung and Apple are doing battle in the courts over copyright infringement. Strange, as Samsung apparently makes around 33% of the iPhone.<br /><br />My built in camera isn't the best, but it's fine for snaps.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.com
