Which is possibly why newspapers have developed so many other features, reviews, puzzles, reflective comment pieces etc. I think they also have a tactile and companionable aspect that many people will only give up with reluctance. I think of my 88 year old mother for whom the arrival of her daily paper is a real solace to lonliness. She spreads it over her sofa almost like an actuall comfort blanket - never mind the fact that her Alzhiemers is so advanced that she can scarely remember from one sentence to the next.julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-87151416072568328692012-05-06T19:02:58.663+01:002012-05-06T19:02:58.663+01:00While this short video isn&#39;t about what you ca...While this short video isn&#39;t about what you can do with newspaper rather than a Kindle, let&#39;s not be too picky. After all, I&#39;m an iPad user for all our lovely ebooks:<br /><br />http://www.wimp.com/dadipad/<br /><br />It&#39;s in German, but like much good comedy, accessible anyway. Here&#39;s a rough translation:<br /><br />-- Tell me, Papa, I haven&#39;t asked you yet, but how are you getting on with the new iPad we gave you for your birthday?<br />-- Fine.<br />-- You&#39;re coping with all the apps?<br />-- Apps? What apps. Move aside a bit.<br />-- What&#39;s wrong?<br /><br />As they say in my homeland, enjoy!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770069472552779217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-72900273723783035292012-05-06T18:52:42.529+01:002012-05-06T18:52:42.529+01:00And you&#39;ve missed out on papier mache and bead...And you&#39;ve missed out on papier mache and beads... can&#39;t do those with a Kindle.Enid Richemonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218197995089241666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-24019739434162178262012-05-06T15:12:49.222+01:002012-05-06T15:12:49.222+01:00...and cleaning windows ... mulching the allotment......and cleaning windows ... mulching the allotment ... and how do you fill in the crossword on a kindle?!madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-57202209077236904292012-05-06T10:14:38.658+01:002012-05-06T10:14:38.658+01:00As you say I can&#39;t imagine a kindle would take...As you say I can&#39;t imagine a kindle would take very kindly to being used to swat flies!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.com
