Can anyone direct me to a kindle publication that is truly beautiful?

I find some of the iPad publications truly beautiful but haven’t seen much of anything attractive on the black and white Kindle. Don’t know how specifically Kindle-esque you are looking for.

I’m trying to convert my friend’s book [which i designed] to kindle so she can market it on Amazon. That’s pretty kindle-ish.

OK – wouldn’t Kindle Fire be different from straight Kindle since it has color?

If that’s its only difference, it wouldn’t matter all that much. And the book would be purchasable by those who have Kindles and those who have Kindle-fires. Because the product is device-dependent the fact that one is a little nicer than another doesn’t matter much.

@janbb I just looked at a kindle Fire demo and saw magazine and children’s book pages that looked a little better although they looked good because they were full page images with very little text very simply applied [like centered over a full screen image.

It does give me a new avenue to explore.

Good luck!

Kindle text is quite readable but not beautiful. You can change the font size but this can result in annoying white rivers running down the page. Photographs are a bit washed out looking but line drawings look OK to me. Kindle is a long way from being as artistic as print can be.

@flutherother as I am finding out on some kindle forums—which are very prickly btw
see following: http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdPage=1&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx2S3P4FTD6TIPD
although one user, kribu, 2nd page of the discussion, suggested that it can be made to do more.
Are you a designer?

@anartist No, I’m just a reader. Sometimes I use my Kindle and other times I prefer reading a printed book. They are different and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
