No trouble at all finding e-books for the Kindle .. Amazon has lots, and many are "old" and out of print. There are a lot of free books as well ... go to the Amazon site and search in the Kindle section ..

Too, once you set up your account, you'll get emails with suggestions .. and one-click buying is almost too-easy .. careful!

I have a Barnes and Noble nook. I absolutely love it. It has renewed my love for reading again.

What I love about the nook is that I can adjust the font sizes. I never realized it until I got a nook, but one of the reasons why I had ceased reading on a regular basis was due to eye fatigue from the small font in a book. I can't adjust the text size in a book unless I use a magnifying glass, and those "large print" books were too large.

I have no eye fatigue with my nook.

I can "carry" a ton of books with me and it's not heavy.

One drawback was when our electricity went out due to a storm. I read with my book light and my battery was about to die out. oops! Fortunately the electricity came back on.

I'm a "gadget girl" and was interested in one when a friend gave me my nook. I am so grateful to her for it!

The nook allows various formats and from what I understand it is far far easier to get ebooks from other sites than it is for a Kindle.

B&N also allows you to purchase books from your nook.

Sure, there are some books that are not available. If I really need to read them I'll get the paper version. But for the most part I'm not lacking in anything.

I still have some books around. Those are my faves. I like not having so much "stuff" around me so books in digital format is perfect for me.

I have a bunch of eBook resources if anyone is interested. Feel free to PM me.
