I LOVE using my Kindle Fire for reading books (but it is the first e-reader I have used). I love browsing the web on it, fast and clear to read pages - especially in landscape mode.

I HATE typing on it - in portrait mode I consistently hit the wrong key, in Landscape mode the keys are so far apart it takes AGES to type anything!

What are your Loves and Hates??

PS I am doing this on my PC as it would have taken far to long to type on the KF Sad

RE: LOVE and HATE for the KF?

Having got mine yesterday and shortly to write a review, my main gripe would be with the seeming lack of acknowledgement of when you click on a link or a download. Browsing the web, I've often clicked on a link and nothing's happened (or so it seems) and then 20 seconds later the page comes up. Similar to downloads - click the link, nothing appears to happen, so try again and end up with multiple copies of the same file downloading.

Barnacle Boy! We have to find those stolen Naggy Daddies!

I agree with that - sometimes when I press a link (especially from Google) - nothing does happen, and you are never quite sure wether nothing has happened or it is slow. I have taken to pressing and holding and then choosing open to be sure.

As I think I mentioned previously in my first thread

I picked up one of these from ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk...

It makes browsing and typing via twitter/facebook a breeze. a lot more responsive

Mine were dispatched this morning.... Used to love a Stylus for my PALM Phone

Yours were cheaper, but these you get two and small enough for my Nokia Lumia 800 screen too

thanks for that, I'm going to nab myself a stylus for my nokia lumia now! I really don't like typing on a touchscreen without a stylus at all, my fingers seem to grow to giant size and miss hit every key I want to press.

My two Touch Pen styli arrived today - They sent the wrong ones - They are smaller and great to use. So I asked them to send the correct ones I had ordered. They suggested I use the ones I got and like, and they would credit my account.
So mine WERE cheaper after all. Groovy
