<DIV>We have two older Kindle’s and I was wanting to upgrade to a Fire (they do
look great and Christmas is coming,) but mainly now I use my I-Pad and I-Phone
because I can see the type so much more plainly. Even with the small
i-Phone it’s pretty amazing. I have always done all my downloading of
books, etc, on my computer anyway. </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>I bought a Kindle second generation as soon as they came out. I
don't buy physical books any more unless they are really cheap or I'm on
vacation or something. It's much easier to browse Amazon's book selection
right on the Kindle, buy one, and have it delivered to you Kindle in a few
seconds.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR><SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>The e-ink display I think is a must if you plan to read for long
periods of time. No "flashlight in your eyes" effect that you get from a
tablet, phone, laptop, or desktop. I'll occasionally use the Android
Kindle app to read one of the books I have in my electronic collection (around
50 right now) on my phone if I'm waiting for someone or something and don't have
my Kindle on me.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR><SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>One of these days I'll make a project of finding a way (legal or
otherwise) to strip the DRM from the e-books I buy from Amazon so I can back
them up in case there is ever a problem (such as Amazon going out of business or
getting out of the e-book business). I haven't worried too much about it
since it stays out of your way and I don't have another e-book reader to try to
transfer them to. The DRM is the only real downside I've found, and I can
live with it for now.<BR></SPAN></DIV>
