Comments on: How A Taste Of Kindle Reader For Blackberry Made Me Hunger For More (And More, And More) http://thecontentwrangler.com/2010/03/17/how-a-taste-of-kindle-reader-for-blackberry-made-me-hunger-for-more-and-more-and-more/ Content is a business asset worthy of being managed Fri, 18 May 2012 01:51:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nikki May http://thecontentwrangler.com/2010/03/17/how-a-taste-of-kindle-reader-for-blackberry-made-me-hunger-for-more-and-more-and-more/comment-page-1/#comment-1118 Nikki May Sat, 28 Aug 2010 08:10:06 +0000 http://thecontentwrangler.com/?p=5319#comment-1118 Great read, thanks. I an avid reader - I like hard copy books; I enjoy the experience of holding a book and flipping through the pages as I read it. I also like to personalize my content, dog ear mark it and highlight sections I want to re-read later or that I really enjoyed. I spend hours in old-books book stores, and take home a nice collection of books to read. So, initially, I did wonder why in the world I want to download Kindle for my Blackberry. The idea of reading a 700-page on a minute screen did not appeal to me at all. However, as soon as I downloaded Kindle, I got hooked! I’ve enjoyed reading some free classics. I also like reading short stories types of books on my Blackberry. Having said that, I don't know if I could see myself reading The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring or Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on the minute screen. Great read, thanks.

I just posted a piece called "The eBook Revolution: Blowing Books to Bits" and in it I make a couple of references to your contributions. As I mention in my post, you have hit on some very important considerations and I do think that they point us in the direction we - as an industry - need to go.

I chose the damned thing because I could make the type big enough for my Baby Boomer eyesight but it makes for alot of scrolling. That said I could use a few books on it when I want to travel light. But I am a marker/annotator myself and a good used book is hard to beat, especially in combo with a hot bath.

Rather, it should be layered on top of it. Then you could forward your finger print to a friend, or mine a collection of finger prints. Shoot, Google or Amazon could provide a finger print service that turns into its own social site on the one hand, and aggregates all the data (no doubt, to sell) on the other hand. I suspect smaller reading clubs would emerge... As for red-lining and other finger prints, I don’t see why that should be embedded in the content. Rather, it should be layered on top of it.
