One thing I noted after using a Kindle for the first time (about 10 years ago) is that I was reading without a constant physical sense of how far I was through the book, to the point that the ending almost caught me off-guard. It was certainly an interesting experience, I'm still undecided as to whether it's a pro or a con.
- ksd482 5y agoFor me personally that's a con. Not specifically being caught off guard when the book ends, but not being able to physically tell how far along I am. I am currently reading "the way of kings" which is a very thick book. My progress is very slow, but I really really enjoy my bookmark work its way down the stack of pages.
- dmart 5y agoKindles have an option to turn on a time estimate for progress through a book which sort of simulates this, but I don't really like it (the constant changing/recalculation is anxiety-inducing). Really wish they had an option for a small low-resolution visual indication of progress, like most devices do for their battery indicators.
