The Kindle, like a Fray Bentos pie, is perfectly suited to Motorhoming.
Store a thousand books (on the Kindle, not a pie) in your van without taking up the space needed for one paperback.
Read for hours without getting aching arms.
Sit outside in the sun reading without worrying about glare on the screen.
As a few of you might know, I tend not to do much sitting outside in the sun so I don't really use the anti-glare facility much and today I eventually got around to loading the (free) Kindle app. on my new super, duper, all bells and whistles, God how I love it, Android Jelly Bean driven (4.1) Galaxy Note 2 (GN2 to geeks like me).
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! (The touch screen makes it even easier to use than the Kindle itself.)
As I have allowed myself to fall into Google's clutches (after decades of refusing to become an Apple lacky) I am starting to marvel at the link up between applications...
I press a button on the GN2 and ask verbally "where am I?" and up comes a map on the screen showing exactly where I am. After loading the Kindle software and logging in to my account, it opened the book I was reading on the page I had reached!
You might think I am getting a bit carried away with this staggering device and you would be right, but I am nowhere as bad as a certain "LucidMike78" who publishes daily a short video tutorial teaching users stuff about the GN2 on YouTube.
Anyone who has this device is recommended to check these videos out... there are now over a hundred of them... but beware... it becomes addictive.
If any motorhomer is looking for a device which you can slip into your pocket and on which you can...
surf Motorhome Fun and all the other websites...
watch videos, TV and the Iplayer...
listen to the radio and your music collection...
take and edit photos (8 mega pixels) and videos...
play games either on your own or against the world via the web...
read and write documents and spread sheets (either by typing, hand writing or speaking)...
video or voice call your friends around the world by Skype (or similar)...
read books and newspapers (Daily Ma*l doesn't seem to work)...
draw and/or paint pictures..
navigate you to places... find restaurants, shops, museums, cinemas, theatres (and Burger Kings)...
and so much, much, much more then I recommend the Galaxy Note 2.
Small(ish) with a big(ish) screen and charges without the need for inverters, generators or EHUs.
Oh... one more thing... you can make and receive phone calls on it too...
The GN2 ROOLS...
