not your run-of-the-mill
21 Mar
Not that I own a Kindle (Wireless Reading Device), but the other day I got a note that there is now the Kindle for Mac - free - and I’ve known since a little while that there is also the Kindle for the iPhone - also for free. While waiting for the iPad to come - only 2 weeks to go! - I thought I might as well check it out as I am quite sure that using the iPhone version of the Kindle will be kind of neat on the iPad. So I decided to find a book I feel that I would read on an electronic device but without spending too much money. This is when I came across Tarot for Writers.
I am not too happy about the fact that there are no color pictures on the Kindle, but it does not seem to be something that this book sports in the first place. What fascinated me mostly about this book is what it suggests: use the cards as inspiration to write a story and don’t take them too literal. Now this is right up my alley!
Can’t say too much about the rest of the book as I have not read it - it deals with interpretation of the card meanings, but those first 39% of the book are definitely worth while exploring if you are into writing and sometimes experience writers block. Reading in the Kindle on the iPhone has been a pleasure so far, but I am a bit less impressed with the Mac version: even though it is great to have the option to read on the larger screen, it seems a bit more awkward and rather rises the longing to hold a real book in hands than wanting to finish the book on screen.
