Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 My hubby was actually concerned about this for me too. His friend at work let him take hers home for me to try and it was ok for me, but it might be hard for some people. > > From: Aunt617@ aol.com <Aunt617@ aol.com> > Subject: Kindle > @gro ups.com > Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 1:49 PM > > Has anyone purchased a Kindle?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had a kindle, and could not use the menu roller button. It needed a very direct " push " . This precluded menu-intensive newspapers. Weak SMA 2 diagnosis. Just got the kindle 2, and found that all of the relevant buttons are so close together (in the bottom right) that it works quite well. They've also replaced the menu roller button with a min-joystick which works better for me by far. As you all know, it really depends on where you are physically, but I'm quite limited with arm mobility, and this (for once) works. I sound like a Jeff Bezos-lackey, but I am a big fan after just a few days use. > > From: Aunt617@ aol.com <Aunt617@ aol.com> > Subject: Kindle > @gro ups.com > Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 1:49 PM > > Has anyone purchased a Kindle?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I took a quick look and touch at my roommate's Kindle. Its a little heavier than I thought it would be, and its kind of an odd shape; its bigger than I thought. The navigation button would be difficult for someone with limited dexterity. It is really neat, but I think it would be difficult for some people with disabilities.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi , I'm so glad to read about your experiences with your Kindle and what you do and do not do with it!! But the thing I want to say here and now is how interesting it is that your Dad is an author. I just found this web page about your Dad and his book through Google. (I hope that this link will get to the group: http://www.tigertoons.org/collardgreens/collardgreens.html and will read it later when I have time!! There is a picture of your Dad on the page, as you can see and probably knew before you clicked on the link above, and I want to tell you right now that I think your Dad is a very handsome man!! Much love to him from me and please do wish him luck with his book for me!!! Has he written any books in the past, or is this his first--or his ONLY-book?
