Kindle Amazon User Review...
By: S. Gabriel
Very impressed. Text to speech should be allowed
After a few days I'm very impressed with the new Kindle Amazon. I had some slight experience with the old model and this one, while not making any earth-shattering improvements, improves on much of what needed to be improved from the old model. There are a few things still lacking which prevents me from giving a 5 star review. Most things have been touched on by others, so I will not give an overall review. These are my personal issues, others may not have them, and I could be wrong about some things as I am still trying to learn the device.
1. How about some folders? Once you get a decent library built up (either archived online, or on the device itself, it could be difficult to find the specific book you are looking for. Sure for now it's ok as I have like 4 books in there, but what about 12 moths from now? I can only imagine scrolling through 50 pages of books, which seemingly have no rhyme or reason in the order they are shown. Again, I could be wrong about this and there are ways to do this, but I have not found it yet.
2. Kindle Amazon store, please let me sort by date, relevance, etc. My way around this is to look up stuff online here and then go directly to the book on the device.
3. Why not put the page back button on the left where the next page button is? Several times I made the intuitive move of hitting that button to go back to check a drawing, or a previous passage, and am suddenly a page or two ahead of where I actually was. Seems to me the left button should be page back, the right button should be page forward. When I have to page back i have to make a significant effort to find the button. This will probably be a non issue with use, but it's not as intuitive as I would like.
4. Is there a way to cancel a buy other than the page right after you accidentally click the button? With the delay in cursor movement I have several times clicked right past this page and ended up with books I don't want and I have yet to find a way to delete them or cancel the transaction. Oh well more books.
Also, I do not agree with the decision to turn off text-to-speech at the author's request. How is this any different than me buying an actual book and reading it to someone? I'm not copying the book.
I actually don't think I will use this feature much or at all, but it is nice to have available.
So henceforth I will not buy any books that have this feature turned off. Hopefully others will agree, and make the authors see some common sense.
Thats about it. After 3 short days, overall I am very happy with this product. A few improvements would be nice, but there is nothing that is a deal-breaker. And as I stated before, maybe these issues are me and not the Kindle Amazon, and I just need to learn to use it better.
