Hi. I was wondering if anyone has tried using a Kindle or Kindle Touch in the cockpit? I don't own either, but they're cheap enough that I've considered getting one if I had some other use for it besides just reading prose (which I don't do a lot of).
I'm not talking about running full navlog, moving maps, or electronic E6B apps, but merely displaying some airport diagrams or checklists that I can compile in PDF or E-book format. The combination of high visibility screen and awesome battery life seems perfect for the sunny day casual flying I do.
The G1000 has all the electronics I can manage and more so please don't tell me to get an iPad or an Android tablet. If anything I wish to avoid the vitriol over on that Galaxy Tab post.![Yikes :yikes: :yikes:](/community/styles/poa/poa_smilies/yikes.gif)
