But what if the whole reason I enjoy a Kindle is because I am exhausted by interactive media?
I just want to read a book, except not have it be so heavy, have a built in bookstore, and not need a reading lamp.
The Kindle accomplishes all that quite admirably. More ability to interact with the text or graphical elements would make the experience significantly worse.
- icebraining 9y agoIt's not more, though; the ability is already there. It's just a change in how you invoke it.
- kemayo 9y agoI think it might be fair to say that making touch actions default to definitions/note-taking/etc would make those features more prominent, which might make people like the OP feel them intruding on their desired passive reading experience more.
