When I decided to start on this venture, I remembered with excitement that the Kindle (I have the basic, ad-supported version released last year) recently added support for comics. Sure, the comic would be in black & white, but the Kindle actually displays images beautifully. It's a little strange, yes, but I somewhat enjoy the representation.
To my dismay, however, they only added one level of zoom for the comic pages. Despite having a multi-directional keypad (that would enable you to scroll around the page), you can only zoom from it being centered on the screen to filling the screen. If I squint, I might be able to read the words.
So it looks like I'll be tied to my computer and a comic viewer to read the comic portions of this chronological trip. Until the day I can afford a Kindle Fire, Nook Color / Tablet, or something like an iPad. None of which I foresee in my near future.
So nothing to report on the actual journey yet, just some frustration with Amazon for this Kindle update. Give us more levels of zoom, please!
