Me too.
I imagine I would like to have one of those. But there are so many
questions to consider. Such as, if I have a book on mine and want to
share it with my sister, can I?
Will my 'book' communicate with our public library? How in the Sam Hill
do you return a copy when the time's up?
I see that some of them come with ear pod somethings. Why would I need
them to read a book?
Just a personal problem, I expect, but I borrowed one from a friend, a
much older model ( the book, not the friend). I thought it was dim, slow
and heavy.
Are some models easier on old eyes? Are some easier for old brains?
Do you have one and have a ' I wish I could' list? Do you tolerate it or
love it? Polly


A friend got the latest Kindle for Christmas.

It's small (about the size of a paperback in area, and about half an
inch thick), VERY light, the batteries las for weeks, and it'll hold
more than you can read in a lifetime. While Kindle books are a bit more
expensive than paper books, there are also millions of free books
available through things like the Gutenberg project, so you need never
run out of things to read.

The display is totally non reflective, you can change the text size, and
you can add your own footnotes!

Me want!
