AOPA Pilot Magazine Review

15 OCT 2009

Ian Twombly looks at approach plates on the Kindle DX for AOPA Pilot magazine.

"Reader Plates is my personal favorite. The company is stable and proven thanks to its offerings on previous devices. But more importantly, Reader Plates approaches the navigation differently, and in my opinion, much better. Each approach plate volume is organized as a separate book meaning navigation is done via a series of menus. First choose the book, then the state, and finally the A/FD, the approaches, the departure or arrival procedure, or the airport diagram. Then each procedure is shown and selected individually. All this navigation is easy thanks to Kindle’s cursor stick and intuitive buttons."
