Kindle for Mac

I finally entered into the world of Kindle. I’m not much of a reader. So when I first saw the Kindle and idea behind of it, I was excited as a geek and gadget nerd but I really didn’t bother to try it for my own personal leisure.

I totally forgot, actually didn’t care, one of my summer class is meeting this Saturday first time. Of course my professor emailed us what I need to get done before the first class. Being who I am, I completely forgot about it and panicked when I saw a reminder yesterday. I have to read a entire book by saturday? I don’t even purchased one yet!

I originally planned to go to school early today and purchase one at the bookstore. I was also checking the availability at Borders and Barns and Nobel, I saw the Barns and Nobel’s Nook advertisement and remembered Kindle has an app for Mac. I quickly searched the title of the book and purchased it!

After reading about 15% of my first reading on Kindle, I’m somewhat disappointed. This is more of computer’s fault, I find myself not liking reading wide screen at all. This is really annoying, I wish I can change my screen’s orientation. I wish I can highlight what I want to highlight and ability to write a note. I wonder how my reading experience would improve on Android platform once Amazon releases Kindle for Android. I think if I use my phone, I’d complain that screen is little too small. Maybe not, since I read a lot of PDFs on my phone anyway.

I think to get the best experience out of kindle I need to purchase actual Kindle or get an iPad. Possibly another reason to justify myself to purchase an iPad that I kept refusing to purchase. Anyhow, I got to get back to reading and finish it sigh. Hopefully by end of this reading, I like the idea of reading books on computer or any portable device that will make me a bookworm!
