I use the Kindle app on my iPhone and I have more books than I can possible read, most free. I’d LOVE a Kindle fire, if anything for the bigger reading screen size. Maybe one day.
I tried to read Stroke of Insight after my uncle had a huge aneurism last year, but it seemed over my head so I didn’t finish it.
It was a pretty deep book. I enjoyed the section about the actual stroke more than anything. I think the video that I posted a few weeks ago by the author is a great supplement to the book. It is like a condensed version. =)
I can’t make up my mind about the Fire. I have heard the screen isn’t as easy to read on. The Kindle that I have is excellent for reading, so I am pretty happy with it.
