Review Amazon's simple and practical 2014 calendar desk calendar in two at once



Besides using the calendar you got from someone or somewhere, you buy your favorite calendar by yourself, even buy the analog calendar not on the screen of the smartphone, tablet or personal computer until you feel selfish Each one should be there.

For example, I have chosen various calendars for almost 20 years, but the thing I want to emphasize most is that there is no "sixth display". It is because I feel sick if I write 'Buddha' in checking the schedule of the day today. If it says whether it is totally unnecessary or not, there is not such a thing, and when it is a ceremonial occasion, a business, etc. it is what I want to confirm in order to decide the date. Next I want to prioritize visibility, not easy to read digits, but need something that will help me scare the flow of the schedule within the brain with a close eye on last month, this month, next month. And strongness, for about 12 months from December, you will be asked to have enough strength not to become dumbfounded even if you are curled flattering over the moon, torped up, torn down and stabbed .

Well, if you think like this, the choices become fewer, but it is a desktop calendar that Amazon satisfies all these requests for selfishness.

Amazon.co.jp: 【Amazon.co.jp Limited】 Original 2014 calendar desk kindle version: book


This is kindle version limited from Amazon.co.jp. What is used for the calendar is thick paper with a bit rough texture, design based on the white and black on the front cover images of Kindle 's standby screen. The paper is somewhat thick and it is thick enough to pass through the back as soon as you hold it over the light.


Although the ring part that puts up the calendar is made of paper, the durability is also perfect because the paper is reinforced by double winding. Even if it is crushed strongly with your fingers, the shape will not be easily deformed, so there will be no worry of breakage from the ring. Also, since the surface of the ring is smooth and it is smaller than the empty hole on the calendar side by about two times, there was nothing like catching on the ring part when turning the calendar.


Since it is a desk calendar, it can be autonomous if it folds the black solid base part. It is making it to bend at the crease so that it is easier to stand up by repeating folding a few times.


Turning around with Perry, it looks like this. The calendar is Sunday's beginning, Sunday and holidays are written in red letters, Saturday in blue letters, and the names of holidays are well documented. In the upper part of the calendar, the last month, the next month, the second month are written in mini size, it is a refreshing design so it's easy to see the day of the week and the date, suitable for planning. Furthermore, there are almost no useless spaces because the date frames are spread all over the paper.


The date characters are relatively small, and it is easier to write notes in empty spaces in the date frame. As the surface is a little gritty paper, letters are easy to write with any kind of pen such as pencil, mechanical pencil, felt pen or marker. Background The fact that the illustration is modest and not rough is also contributing to writing easiness.


Since the size is about the same size as the iPhone 5, it is just too big to put on the desk and is a good size feeling.


When looking at the back of the calendar like this, date, day of the week, memo space is ant.


Turning the calendar and trying it in February changed the design of the back.


I found an illustration of a snowman featuring February.


It turns into a pale pink color in March and cherry blossoms bloom on the back tree.


In June, the back becomes blue, and illustration of rain is also drawn. Because the background color and illustrations change every month with such feeling, it will be fun to turn the calendar by visually observing the change of the moon.


Amazon.co.jp: 【Amazon.co.jp Limited】 Original 2014 calendar desk top Amazon logotype: book


Next, I will look at Amazon logotype. This desk calendar is also limited to Amazon.co.jp. It is color like Amazon cardboard, and the rough texture of the paper also helps to make Amazon packaging cardboard image. And the basic structure is exactly the same as the kindle version desk calendar.


The moon display looks something like this, simpler than kindle version. Since there is no illustration in the back of the date part, the visibility is up, but because the margin is provided around the calendar, the size of the date coma is smaller than the kindle version.


Calendar specifications are the same as kindle version, Sunday beginning · Sunday and holidays in red letters · Saturday in blue letters. The texture of the paper is a little smoother than the kindle version, but also the letter is easy to write. Because it is a simpler design, there are a lot of people that it is better not to mess with it.


For Amazon logotype as well, the ring part which put together each calendar paper was thick and double paper reinforced paper was used.


Each month notation is accompanied by an illustration that makes the image of the moon, banners and frames used for New Year's play in January are drawn.


In Amazon logotype there was a mini calendar last month, the next month, the following month at the left end of the calendar.


The back of the calendar is exactly the same as kindle version.


February is like this, there is hardly any change in look and feel.


Looking at the kindle version and Amazon logotype side by side like this. The size is totally the same size.
