Oh, and Dan, if you’re still with us after all the Visor craziness, Send to Kindle works fine from Chrome on my computer. Delete the plug-in and reinstall? Assuming you haven’t already tried that?

From a portability standpoint my iPhone is my primary eReader. I love my iPad when I’m sitting at a table or desk. I can wait for the iPad mini to go Retina so I can get it! I still won’t be holding it to read but it will be more portable. I just got an tv for Christmas and I’ve been playing around with AirPlay Mirroring. It’s so cool mirroring iBooks to my tv. Now I don’t have to hold my iPhone at all while reading. I’m thinking it would make for a very cheap screen reader for those with vision impairments.

I haven’t been camping in ages, but I remember going camping back in the early 2000s and reading on the Visor. It would get dark and I’d turn on the backlight and the words would turn green. Good times! Reading in the sun is the only drawback to reading on my iPhone. But it’s not something that happens a lot so it’s not too annoying. I’m not a beach or read by the pool kind of girl. Has your husband tried polarized sunglasses while reading from his iPad? It only works if he reads with the iPad in landscape.

Backlighting doesn’t bother me either. I just love how small and light my Kindle Touch is, and the battery life is amazing. When we go camping, I bask in the sun to read while my husband has to find shade for his iPad. That said, I’m not sure I’ll replace it when it dies. My new Nexus 7 is a sweet device that’s almost as light. Basking in direct sunlight might be overrated.

But thanks for the information. I’ll file that away for the future.

1. Have you noticed the app acting a little wonky lately? As in, not actually working? Or is that just me?

2. I suspect it’s just me, which leads to my second question: Do any of you find that it works especially well (or especially poorly) with any particular browser? I can’t really imagine using anything other than Google Chrome, and when Send to Kindle for Chrome first launched – I think it’s only been a few months – I started using it like crazy, and it worked like a charm for me. Up until then, I’d been using Instapaper’s Kindle app, which (sort of) requires a few extra steps. But lately I’ve gone back to Instapaper because I can’t get STK to launch. Perhaps I just need to reinstall it or something, but I’m also curious to know if any other Chrome users have had trouble with it over the last couple/few weeks.

However, a Send as ePub option would be fantastic to have as part of any operating system.

Along with that, OS X needs to get more clever. The fact that almost any document can be written to a PDF does little good when it’ll be viewed on a tiny iPhone screen. OS X needs to be smart enough to save almost any document to ePub too. That Digital menu should have a “Send as ePub to my iPhone” option.

However, there’s no way to effortlessly keep multiple devices in sync with personal documents. If you only read on a one device, no problem. If, like me, you read on many (I’m up to 4 now), Amazon makes it too darned easy, and I think B&N and Kobo should follow suit.

Of course, then I might be tempted to get a Kobo mini, and I’d be juggling 5 reading devices at the same time. Nope. I’m changing my mind. Kobo and B&N would be doing me a public service by staying just as they are.

I would use my Kobo more if it had the same ability. A very good article,
