The Proof is in the Kindle: why the e-reader is an essential tool for writers

Why is the Kindle 3G Keyboard so good for proof reading completed drafts? 

• Documents transfer easily as .pdf's, (or ebook .mobi files if you are using a program like Scrivener as your word processor.)

• The electronic paper eliminates the eyestrain associated with looking at an LCD/LED screen.

• Notes can be easily added to the text with the QWERTY keyboard so changes can be made to the MS once back at the computer.

• Your MS looks like a book as the reader will see it. (In my view, if you are self-publishing a Kindle is essential)

• It is portable.

• It saves paper.

• It is cheap and with the free 3G it is a bargain.
