Although I love books and have bookcases full of them, now that my arthritis is getting worse I find a kindle much easier to hold. I do agree however that it is so much easier to flick back a few pages in a book than trying to find something you read earlier on the kindle, Reply #21. Aug 30 13, 4:25 PM |

I own a Kindle, it's great for waiting in lines and on the subway. However, I do love my paper books and still read them a lot, I recently started borrowing and exchanging instead of buying, saves me a lot of money. Reply #22. Oct 21 13, 2:08 PM |

Love my Kindle. As has been said, it's great for travel, waiting in dr.'s offices, etc. I also like real books too. But the Kindle is really convenient. Reply #23. Oct 22 13, 7:40 AM |

My husband and I both have a Kindle Fire HD, love it, but still buy books for the thrill of turning the page, and of course the smell. Reply #24. Oct 26 13, 12:24 PM |

I'm a big Kindle fan - it's amazing how many books you can carry around on that little thing :o) Reply #25. Nov 06 13, 10:58 AM |

Owning a Kindle has significantly changed my life for the better. As I often move form place to place I didn't use to be able to have a lot of books at my disposal, which was very frustrating as I'm a bookworm. However, now I can carry around a whole library without any extra weight. My grandparents love their Kindles as well because they can adjust the font size so as not to strain their eyes. Reply #26.

Love Kindles for holiday reads as you can take several books without using valuable luggage space and weight. However you can't beat the feel of holding a real book. Reply #27. Mar 26 19, 4:17 AM |

I was just reading on the news or in a magazine (I forget which) that an e-book seller went into administration and the e-books it sold all disappeared from their customers e-readers. It seems when you buy an e-book you don't own it outright. Also you can't transfer or 'lend' it to someone else as you can with a real book. Reply #28. Apr 04 19, 10:45 AM |

Just to add, 'Kindle Fire' not good to read if the Sun is out. 'Kindle white' is better for reading. Reply #29. Apr 15 19, 5:55 AM |

I have also added the Kindle app to my iphone, which is really convenient when waiting for doctors, etc. since I usually have my phone with me anyway. Reply #30. Aug 31 21, 9:53 AM |
