Re: Reading on your smart phone
I take my phone everywhere with me. Reading on your phone seems to be one of the more efficient uses of battery life as well, which is good for traveling and long trips. Also since you are bound to have your phone with you regardless, it is not necessary to bring another device along just to read a book (if you think of it that way, you might as well just bring the actual book with you). I do agree with several of you who have issues with your eyes after reading on phones for extended periods, it happens to me all the time. I have not used a Kindle or Nook enough to experience or notice a difference so I will just have to take your word for it on the eye issue.
I also like using my phone to read because it allows me access to lots of outside resources if I need them. I can find definitions and look things up on Wikipedia, which others have mentioned is possible to do on a Kindle. One thing I like to do it various types of image or visual media searches, to help get a better mental image of the world that I am immersing myself in. And sometimes, reading a really good book gets my writing juices flowing, and it is an easy transition to write or dictate my ideas on to my phone. Happy reading everybody. Thanks.

Reading on smartphone has many benefits but lot more than that non-benefits.One of the benefit is that while reading in smartphone you do not need to turn on any additional lights also you can change the font for reading according to our visibility.But more than the non benefits such as eye problems,secondly we need to have charging in smartphone for reading,etc.Iam myself got spectacles do to reading in smartphone.If you are reading book in smartphone plz wear antiglare spectacles that would protect your eye from different problems.

Just so you know, the Kindle app will sync with any device you have the app on so that you can move seemlessly from one device to another. I am not sure about the others vendors like eNook or Apple, but suspect the same is true. Sometimes I read different books on each of my devices and sometimes it is the same book. It will ask you if you want to go to where you were on your other device.WendyM wrote:I haven't tried it, but I like the idea of having it immediately available everywhere. I read on my tablet, and find the screen size perfect, but I keep my phone offline most of the time, so I suppose the syncing part of the experience would trip me up - I'd have to spend ages trying to find my place on the larger device, when I got back to it.
