In the limited time I&#8217;ve had to use it since it arrived yesterday, I quickly grasped why it&#8217;s such a popular device. The e-ink screen is easy on the eyes and it bears a remarkable resemblance to paper. The large screen accommodates as much text as two printed pages and I don&#8217;t have to ask someone to clip the pages down or bend the binding. If I could find a way to activate the &#8220;next page&#8221; key independently, it would be nearly perfect. Still, it should last me the next few years until the color version is released. And I&#8217;ll likely be purchasing fewer hardcover books, which will probably be welcome news to my sagging shelves. <\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?w=695\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon announced yesterday that sales of e-books are outnumbering sales of hardcover books.
