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. :clap: 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). :up: 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.

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.
