On its release last year I couldn’t find much to fault Avatar on. But after watching Alice – the first serious CGI-dominated 3D film since James Cameron’s immersive motion picture – there’s now a glaring issue with it: the bar was set waaay too high. Previously the computer generated effects in Alice would have knocked your socks off, however in a post-Avatar world it significantly underwhelms. Not an overly fair statement for a film which has consistently beautiful and detailed images – take the awe-inspiring climactic clash which is set on a chess board-esquire battlefield for example – but you can thank Cameron for that. Once you get past the fact that Burton’s creation does not aim to achieve realistic environments or creatures and that the actors will never appear to be anywhere other than in front of a green screen, you are in good stead to enjoy the colourful animation for what it was intended for: pure, undemanding, trippy wonderment.

Five months ago, I was told I had a brain tumor. The tumor is small, but it is on the brain stem and pushing up against one of my optic nerves. Consequently, I have double vision. Over the months, I’ve been doing everything the neurologists have been telling me to do. It has been tremendously challenging, but the hardest part is not being able to read and drive. Well, last month, a friend told me about the new Kindle 2 and how it could enlarge the print. I love to read. Audio books have been good, but I have missed reading terribly.
Our brains are quite powerful and mine is trying hard to help me see normally. I purchased the Kindle 2, set the font to the largest setting and the first night I used it, I cried!! With the help of my brain, and the Kindle, I can now read for short periods of time. As I continue to practice, my reading time will increase. I am extremly grateful to the Kindle. Its variety of font sizes, ease to use, lightness and convenience to hold and carry – I am set!!

Classic is very good application , value of every penny. To read more books I prefer to buy individual titles from iceberg or IndiaNIC both company have multiple titles and excellent ebook software which give you perfect reading experience. Personally I wish classics have more best sellers titles.

What James Scherber Says: is right on!

I really like the interface, but without current material it is irrelevant. The eReader works great and I have my Fictionwise books available. The iPhone is just too convenient and the screen is easy to read.

I will probably try Classics out anyway because the price is low enough.

Classics isn’t going to rise to the top if it doesn’t have access to current material. Fancy page flips are all well and good but the ability to read a current bestseller is far more important to me.

Ereader is very full featured, has a bookstore were bestsellers can be purchased and downloaded to the iPhone and is free to boot. As far as I’m concerned the ereader/iphone combo beats out the Kindle.

For those thinking the screen is too small: how much screen real estate do you think you require to read a paragraph? With the smaller screen it is much easier to find your spot again in when you get inevitably distracted, like I am right now with this post. Back to work I go.
