Sorry guys, but this 70-year-old loves his Kindles — both the one I have downstairs and the one I have upstairs. (Don’t need to remember them when I change Floors!) As far as readability, the selection of various fonts and font sizes lets me adjust for my eyesight.
The weak point of a Kindle is illustrations and maps — but I use Google and Wikipedia for those things! (I currently read a lot of non-fiction and history.)
And Amazon has made it too easy to get the books. One-click and it is delivered to my selected Kindle in a minute! Don’t need to get dressed and drive to a bookstore,
2 problems with ebooks: price points are too high, and the downloader doesn’t actually own the book.
Same here. Got my first Kindle about 10 years ago, got rid of all my hard copy books soon after. I read now more than ever, have purchased hundreds of books through Kindle, everyone of which is still available and not taking up any physical space. What I love it the fact that virtually any and every book is available to me in just seconds.
