AFTER AN ACADEMIC YEAR of reading, annotating and sharing essential content on my Kindle, I can strongly recommend Amazon's Kindle as technology that delivers high value for money.
I think the standalone Kindle is better than having an iPad with the Kindle app, primarily because when you read on a Kindle, you're less likely to be interrupted by notifications and less prone to procrastination via Facebook.
Both the app and the Kindle lets you read Kindle books, newspapers, magazines and PDFs through an intuitive interface. I've Kindle editions of all the essential and supplemental textbooks for five creative multimedia modules that I teach in the Limerick Institute of Technology. Plus I've paid subscriptions to both the Irish Times and the Financial Times. And I get Kindlefeeder content once a day along with items I send to my Kindle via a Klip.me bookmarklet. Every day, I have no less than 50 minutes of reading arriving on my Kindle.
