Finished reading Jeff VanderMeer’s short story Errata today. Like many other readers, who probably came expecting a work of standard speculative fiction, I was mostly confused by the surreal nature of the tale, although I enjoyed it.
I think. Maybe. Sort of.
The whole story is freely available on tor.com, but I got the 99 cent e-book version through Amazon’s Kindle store. I did the reading on my iPod Touch which was fairly pleasant. It got even better once I figured out I could decrease the font size so I didn’t have to flip pages as much. Suggestion to other newcomers to Kindle for the iPhone, press those little A’s in the interface, and experiment a bit. Might improve your reading experience.
At least I chuckled at mentions of Juliette the Penguin.
