The Amazon Kindle is a great e-reader device, but without a touch screen, you might think it would be a little tricky to draw on it. Well, a new application has been developed for the Kindle that will allow you to transform the device into a retro-style Etch-a-Sketch.
Admittedly, I was never the best at drawing on an Etch-a-Sketch myself, but I’m sure there are plenty of creative artists out there who would be able to draw something wonderful.
The Kindle Doodle application allows you to draw lines and create images as simply or as complex as you would like. There are a number of different ways to draw using the application, including the press-and-hold draw mode, a continuous mode in which you can press once to start drawing and press again to stop, or use a step mode to draw short, precise segments with each press.
Features of Kindle Doodle
The Kindle Doodle application is designed to be user-friendly and versatile. Here are some of the key features that make it stand out:
1. Press-and-Hold Draw Mode: This mode allows you to draw by pressing and holding the button. When you release the button, the drawing stops. This is perfect for creating continuous lines and shapes.
2. Continuous Mode: In this mode, you can start drawing by pressing the button once and stop by pressing it again. This is ideal for those who want to draw without having to keep the button pressed down.
3. Step Mode: This mode is for more precise drawing. Each press of the button draws a short segment, allowing for detailed and intricate designs.
4. Undo Feature: Made a mistake? No problem. The undo feature allows you to go back a step and correct any errors.
5. Save and Share: You can save your drawings and share them with friends and family. This feature adds a social element to your creative process.
Practical Uses and Creative Potential
The Kindle Doodle application is not just for fun; it has practical uses as well. For instance, students can use it to take quick notes or sketch diagrams during lectures. Professionals can use it for brainstorming sessions or to visualize ideas. The application can also serve as a digital sketchpad for artists who want to practice their skills on the go.
Moreover, the Kindle Doodle can be a great tool for children. It can help them develop their fine motor skills and encourage creativity. Parents can use it as an educational tool to teach their kids about shapes, letters, and numbers.
The application also opens up new possibilities for interactive storytelling. Authors and illustrators can create interactive e-books where readers can add their own drawings to the story, making the reading experience more engaging and personalized.
Doodle is available now, in the U.S Kindle store only.
