Kindle for iPhone App – Better than a Kindle May 19, 2011

I installed Kindle (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kindle/id302584613?mt=8) on my laptop long ago but found I never use it because I use my laptop only for work.

At the end of another long brutal day at the office (well brutal is not entirely true since I am self-employed and I’m my own boss , but I can be really hard on myself sometimes), I just don’t feel like relaxing or doing anything on my laptop.

However, I recently installed the Kindle App on our iPhones and realized that, despite the small screen size, I now find Kindle much more practicle to use and so use it more often.  It would even be better/perfect on an iPad which I am going to get just as soon as I first get one for my wife and 3 daughters.  I’m 5th in line just like I always am for an iPhone like the one now using now (one of my daughters’ hand-me-downs).

Anyway, I wouldn’t want to lug around a Kindle and an iPhone.  I may (in the unlikely case she sees this post I didn’t say for sure I was going to) buy my wife a Kindle as a “surprise” birthday present so I will get to really check on out then.

However, I think I would still tend to actually prefer to read books on my trusty ol’ iPhone since I tend to always have it with me anyway.  Also, you sure can’t beat the price of the Kindle App vs. the Kindle!
