I love my kindle. I really didnt think I would because I love the whole sensory experience of a book, the way they smell, the way they feel in your hands. the crack of the spine when you first open it. But I adapted very quickly. It took about 5 minutes to figure it out and then was totally lost in the book on the Kindle. I have been reading even more than normal and my eyes do not seem to fatigue at all like they do with real books. My husband and I both have a Kindle. We literally have 4 floor to ceiling book cases in additon to 2 normal 5 shelf bookcases bulging with books.

Once you set up the account with amazon the books are charged to whatever account you establish with them. Many books are free or very inexpensive. I love that you can read a sample of the book before deciding to purchase. The samples are typically 5% of the book. enough that you have a good sense if you want to continue.

I love that I can hear about a book somewhere and within two minutes have a sample of it to read without leaving my home. I still go to bookstores to peruse the shelves for new things to read and enjoy the smell of books. Yes I know that is a bit weird.

You can get a refurbished one on Amazon for $219.
