My mother in law, my husband and I all have a Kindle. We’re on the same account, so we can share books.
It’s especially great because my husband’s mother has vision problems and can turn the font higher. I like the instant gratification - able to download the book I want, when I want it.
We also loaned one of the Kindles to a friend that had shoulder surgery and had troubles holding a regular book.
I’ve tried e-readers, before, but never liked the screen or the limits in books.
Doesn’t work if there’s graphics or pictures - all black and white and no ability to change size of most pictures. But for most novels and non-fiction, great!
It has to be “off” on take off and landing on planes.
You can also use the Kindle for a slow web browser or email device.
Thank you!
