Comments on: Should you use Kindle’s new read-it-later feature? http://paidcontent.org/2012/08/15/kindle-read-it-later/ The economics of digital content Sat, 25 May 2013 21:53:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: magmashift http://paidcontent.org/2012/08/15/kindle-read-it-later/#comment-127067 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:11:23 +0000 http://paidcontent.org/?p=216442#comment-127067 The vast majority of people using a Kindle or the Kindle app are either using an e-ink Kindle like the Touch or the iPad app, so it’s perfectly reasonable to focus on the experience on those 2 devices.

I’m all about Kindle (device and app and most importantly, reading everywhere across my many multiple devices), so this is good news.

Compare apples to apples, err oranges to oranges, for Christ’s sake. Comparing the iPad to the Kindle Touch is like comparing a Nokia 6110 to the iPhone. The least you could do is compare Amazon’s most comparable product in the Fire.

At least the author’s bias toward Apple is transparent, and this article could have been summed up in 3 sentences: “Everything looks great and works seamlessly with the iPad. Everything is black and white (blah!) on the Kindle Touch. I love Apple products!!”

Full disclosure: I am an AAPL owner and a link on the Yahoo’s price quote page drove me here. I never comment on internet articles, but this one was so horribly biased I had to express my opinion. Laura should put a qualifier at the top of this article: “I am an Apple fangirl so don’t expect an impartial article.”

However, I recently found a site that just wouldn’t work in either of them. I had to cut and paste several pages worth of stuff into Word and then save as .txt to get rid of some weird background color stuff. I lost all the italics, which was annoying. The Send to Kindle extension, however, handled it perfectly. I clipped just the story (without the 300-odd comments) and got exactly what I needed. Okay, it was just one site, but it was nice to find something that handled it well.

While I typically add to Instapaper and have a daily batch of articles go to my Kindle, If there is something I don’t want in that batch, I can use Instapaper’s send to Kindle bookmarklet. Quick and easy.
