Oh bother....

I slove my kindle.  But aiI do. Nokt love the ti.e it takes to touh the screen and make the words appdar and do what I want them ro do.

Case in point.  That was my attempt with two handed typing on the Kindle touch screen.
Notsomuch working....maybe it ain't suppose to?

There's the swipe method which seems to work quite effectively but it is not as fast as one would think it would be....pretty darn accurate though...not one misspelled word in that lot!  Except I take issue with it altering "misspelt", go figure.  I'm not so certain it's faster or helpful in translating thoughts into words on the screen....it is fun to watch happen!  LOL

I do think the best option is fingers to keyboard for me.  And that's probably best done with the desktop or laptop.  There's something that happens during that process that clears my brain a bit.  But I gotta confess that the swipey thingy does make me forget what was ailing me....and just what in the heck I was wanting to put into black and white to begin with.

Soooooo.....
*laughing*
Zackly what was the point?!

Haha!! You should have seen me trying to text with my husband's iPhone. It was too funny! Except to me. That was frustrating. (He turned it in to save money months ago....I was just getting 'good' at it. Guess I'll have to start all over. Haha!)
Sending you an e-mail. ;)

Mel, I struggled with trying to type fast but I've noticed lately that it's all falling into place, at least on the phone and ipad, the Kindle is taking a bit longer.

Hey there.

I know the iPad screen is bigger, but I can touch-type on it using three fingers of each hand now, so it's worth persevering.

HA! This is too funny, Mel!

Well, I don't a have Kindle or a cell phone so I don't text. However, I do watch other people text and it amazes me how tiny the keys are and how fat people's fingers are.

HOW do they do it?!?!

After handing in my cell phone upon retirement, I have only a laptop and IPod. I use the IPod for emails ONLY if I'm in bed and forgot to do one that is truly needed.

I hardly notice my pecking so I must be used to it. I just find it annoying having to switch screens from letters to punctuation. No wonder that's going out the window.

You are so tech savvy.. I am envious of all that knowledge and understanding of swipes and kindle key pads and ..well.. you know..
