I wanted to give it a good shakedown before I wrote anything.
It's very good.
I expect to save the purchase price in about a year.
It's easy to use, easy to read and easy to load with text-choose a book, type it into the device, and it appears a few minutes later, automaticly charged to your credit card.
A twenty five dollar book costs ten bucks-and it's stored so you can read it again.
The only annoyance is the number of buttons that activate very easily, it's hard to hold the thing without accidently turning the page-however, going back is just as easy.
No trip to the store, no wait for sold out titles and no need to pay full price for new titles.
At $9.99 for a new release, no waiting for the paperback.
For me, not having to lick my finger every time I want to turn a page is a joy-and the device won't lose your place, either.
A must have for every serious reader-and it has adjustable text size, too.
Saves time, saves money, convenient, portable and easy to read in sunlight, what's not to like?
But I like waiting for up to 2 weeks for a book to arrive in the mail!!!
And I especially like squinting while reading in the sun!!!
Actually sounds like something I'll look into...Have heard so many good things about it...even from old Folks (like me) who hate new gadgets!!!
Thanks
I know what you mean about the smell of books-I find that comforting, too, reminds me of the magic of times past, when there were so many books and too little time.
But saving time, expense and trouble have won me over.
Another feature, your library is backed up at Amazon, so if your Kindle is lost or stolen, you can recover it quickly.
For reading fiction, it's great-for reference books you use a lot, perhaps less so.
Does it have the ability to enlarge the text? I'm thinking of ordering one because the font in regular books is just too small for me to read anymore.
