湖南省雅礼中学2019届高三上学期英语11月份月考（三）试卷
I didn't just read a book in print, on an e-reader or even on a mobile phone. Instead, I read a book on dozens of devices. I was not trying to set a Guinness World Record. I wanted to answer a question I often hear: ? So I set out to try them all, reading a chapter on each: the Amazon Kindle, the first and second generation Apple iPads and mobile phones. To be fair, I also read a chapter in that old-fashioned; form—a print book.
The book I chose was The Alienist. For the first chapter, I turned to an Amazon Kindle. . The kinder is light. Its six-inch screen is the perfect size for reading, and reading on its black-and-white-E-Ink display doesn't harm your eyes. , and on average you charge the device only once a month. My only complaint with the Kindle design was the placement of the keyboard at the bottom of the device.
Despite the small screen on a mobile phone, I found reading on one to be simple and satisfactory. , but all of the phones on which I read chapters felt somewhat similar.
If I had wanted to, I could have bought my book through dozens of e-book apps in the Apple App Store. Most are free and offer access to thousands of free e-books or paid versions. Both iPads 1&2 offer an immersive(身临其境的)reading experience. I found myself jumping back and forth between my book and the web, looking up old facts and pictures of New York City. .
For the last chapters of the book, I read the print one, which is still my favourite choice.
Since we are comparing devices. So I guess I need to choose one. In the end it might come down to Kindle. But if money is tight, go for print. My used print book cost only $4 from Amazon.
A. Battery life is outstanding
B. Which e-reader is the best for reading books
C. Shopping on Amazon for the Kindle is simple
D. Should students make use of the devices to read
E. No wonder a lot of readers also speak highly of it
F. Reading on the Amazon Kindle is a joy in many aspects
G. The brightness and size of the mobile phone's screen did vary
