Letter: Kindle slip

Published 8 February 2012

From Pam Lunn

I have another example of game transfer phenomena, in which facets of video game play spill over into real life (24/31 December 2011, p 76). I’ve been using a Kindle to read e-books for about a year now. The other day, while reading a paperback for a change, I pressed the side of the right-hand page with my thumb to turn the page over, just as I would on the Kindle’s screen.
