Re: Finally got myself a Kindle
I checked that out and it is freakin' awesome!! That is exactly what I have been wishing for since my first Kindle a few years ago.

Re: Finally got myself a Kindle
Ooh that sounds nice. I've got pleather vintage fintie covers for each of mine in blue and brown. they make mine look and feel like a bound book instead of a device, now if someone would make an air freshener that smelled like book pages....Chris OConnor wrote:I so love my Kindle!

Re: Finally got myself a Kindle
My MIL made me a cover for my original Kindle out of a beautiful fabric, My paperwhite is oping for the same treatment.

I have the newest Kindle Fire, but I do prefer to read physical books...

Re: Finally got myself a Kindle
About six years ago, my adult children gave me a Kindle Keyboard for Christmas. I have eyesight problems (age and diabetes), and the ability to increase the font size was fantastic. Also I learned I could carry a whole library with me on vacation. About a year ago, my trusty Keyboard stopped working. I thought about getting another Kindle, but eventually decided on a Samsung Galaxy tablet. Why? With the tablet I can get not only Kindle books, but Nook, E-pub and other e-book formats through my on-line library (Overdrive). Still can increase the font size and carry a library with me, just have more choices. Alas, still has the drawback of limited 'flipping' through the pages. Guess you can't have everything.

Re: Finally got myself a Kindle
I'm in the process of packing up and moving from one house to another and it is a time like this that makes me love my Kindle. I've got so many books and they're heavy and a pain in the butt to move.
