I am a big book person and never wanted an e-reader, but my daughter and SIL got me a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas two years ago. I really love that thing. I read more now than ever and that's saying a lot...............
x3. My sis got me a Kindle last year when I was laid up for a while, and it is a great little gadget for reading. It's just amazing to me that you can order a book and have it on the Kindle in minutes.
I have a Kindle fire and I use it at least several hours every day. However, as an old fat white guy, I'm not too impressed by the use of a bearded hipster in women's Capri pants and a polka dot shirt as their model. As least his cap is on in the right direction.
Sounds good to me, too- but I hope y'all are backing up the books you buy for your Kindles.
I remember some time ago when some copyright issue came up, which resulted in users having '1984' the book vanish from their devices. I'm sure Amazon refunded their purchase, but I don't like the idea of them being able to "disappear" things I've purchased without my permission! Doubleplus-Ungood!
(I use the Kindle app on my Android phone & tablet, it works great! Would like an actual Kindle, though... maybe Santa will bring me one!)

They are great little tools.
