Larry Dignon (ZDNet) reports after using the Kindle for a full week,
he is in deep like. His post also provides a good tip on how to handle "closing the book."
First off, as other reviewers have pointed out, while the big navigation buttons make for easier reading, they also make it virtually impossible to say, close the Kindle’s leather carrying case, without inadvertently flipping the page. There are two workarounds – you can either add a bookmark which makes it easy to return to a previous location, or you can hit a key combination (ALT + the font size button), which puts the device to sleep — but I still wish I could simply close the device without worrying about where I would find myself when I reopened it.
Good tip.
