Kindle-iPhone dissonance resolved


What do you think about Kindle content on iPhone? I was dead set against the whole thing when I first heard about it.

A few days later comes moderation and accommodation with the idea of it – just not for novels, never for novels.

I figure you need to make yourself perfectly comfortable when consuming media that's strictly for entertainment. So, while I love my iPhone and how it gives me a convenient way of dipping into my streams at any time or place, I want no squinting or any sort of discomfort when I'm about to spend five hours at a stretch with a story.

An analogy might be a movie theatre in the days when they still had newsreels. If all you cared about was the news, you wouldn't mind a stand-up movie house: catch up on the news, be on your way. You kind of want to sit down in a cushy seat to lose yourself in the movie.
