Kindle; some comments...

...After a book is uploaded to Kindle, you can do a preview to see how it will look on the device. The text in my book was fine, but the beautiful color illustrations were in black and white. Frankly, they didn't look good at all (picture quality was bad). Amazon needs to include color or what's the point? Think of all of the childrens books and the illustrations that generally go with them. That's a huge market. Think of the possibilities missed; long rides in the car on a family vacation and having a library for the kids to read while on the road; or, in the air; or on the train; or on a long boring bus ride. This will limit their device to text only literature. It does seem an oversight which I fervently hope they correct and soon. At this point the market is wide open and who knows? Competition usually separates the wheat from the chafe.

There is no place to rest...
