'Not Fade Away'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I just stop reading when I don't want to read any more.
I rarely want to stop reading, it's more that I should stop reading for some reason but there's some leeway in how soon exactly that ought to happen. But if the end of the chapter is an hour away, I'd better bookmark now.
Last night I knew I was dreaming because I was reading (yes, I dream that I'm reading) and I didn't have enough pages left in the book to get to the denouement. And then my subconscious tried to stick all those pages back in without me noticing, and I was all, I'm onto you, dream state.
In graduate school - especially during the Spring and Summer months- I had a really difficult time reading. I read physical books back then, but if I was into a story, I would stay up the rest of the night into the morning to read them. It messed with my sleep. In some ways, I think it is better that Kindle apps kind of eclipse that for me since I don't really know how long I have, I can stop and not think: oh, I can read just a bit more and I'll soon be done.
All the features about the PaperWhite kindle sound awesome to me except that blasted touchscreen. I want more pixels and a non-annoying optionally on backlight! I just want it on a device that doesn't turn pages every time I accidentally hit it with my covers.
I'm interested in the continued low-price Android tablet price war Amazon is waging, but I wish the Fire were a little more traditional. I kind of hate their interface (I jailbroke mine, which makes it better, but it's a little touchy)
And, I'd rather do it as professionally as possible
Sound is really important. I found Producing Great Sound for Digital Video very helpful.

Heh, I thought of you when I saw that. Sorry, touchscreen is the wave of the future!
I still miss physical keyboards on my phone, though not as badly as I thought I would. I had decently high hopes for the Kindle touch, but it really doesn't work for me.
I've owned 6 kindles at this point (first gen, two second gens, third gen (my favorite, now only available with 3G for extra dollars), touch, and fire). They should modify their product line just for me!
There are a number of slide out keyboards for smart phones. Here is an example for the iPhone: [link]

ThinkGeek has one for cheaper than that.
Ooo! That one looks nicer. Go for that one!
