Hi Friends...


I was wondering about the usefulness of Amazon Kindle e-Reader. I have been using my laptop for reading books, monthly current affairs, and Hindu epaper, but most of the time I end up with eye strain. So I was wonder if I should buy a kindle e-reader. Also is there any other functionality available in a kindle (example: notemaking)?


Thanks in Advance

For eye strain-

I went to a doctor for this, around 8 months ago, he suggested to keep 10 feet gap between table and wall (continuous staring at short distance kind of strains eye, I used to face this problem in library). He also suggested to massage the area above eyes in circular manner 20 times clockwise and then anti-clock wise after every 2 h, along with an eye drop.

Try anti glare coating on your specs (if any). It will coast around ₹400.

For kindle- depends upon which model you are purchasing. But still it will not be as easy to use as laptop in my opinion.
