Getting used to Kindle Paperwhite
I need some encouragement. Just got the new Paperwhite yesterday and I'm not loving it. I'm hoping there are other folks here that can give me some tips on holding the darn thing. I've had the keyboard style Kindle since 2009 and it still works great - I just upgraded for the lighting.
I read at night in bed. That's my main reading time. I'm used to holding my old Kindle with one hand and being able to turn the pages with the side buttons without using my other hand. With the Paperwhite I can't hold on to the thing and take my thumb hold off to tap the screen. I can see how this could easily be done while sitting up and holding the Kindle in a more or less horizontal position, but when in bed I hold it in a vertical position.
Admittedly I've only had it for less than 24 hours, but my disappointment is large. I will give it some more time, but might send it back and stick with my old one.
Anyone else had this problem and solved it? Would a case help?
