I get all my books from the local library, terrific service, but am guessing the libraries will be shutting their doors fairly soon.
I have always refused offers from my family re gifts of a kindle as I love the feel, smell and turning over pages of actual books.
Now however feel is the time to buy one, but although I am an accomplished shopper generally, on this I am stumped, I don’t know anyone who has one.
I’m hoping some of you will be able to advise which one to buy, I use glasses to read, does this make a difference as to which one to buy?
Any advice most welcome, thanks?

My local library Leicestershire lets you. Orriw books virtually using the BorrowBox app. Works well on my kindle fire you can have them for 3 weeks. The popular ones have waiting lists. Works very well

I eventually stopped using my old kindle and got the kindle app on my iPad which gives me a back light to read without having to buy another tablet with this function.

It did take a while to get used to as opposed to reading a real book but I now enjoy the great selection of inexpensive books which I can download in a couple of clicks, even more so during self isolating.

Just got an iPad and learning its idiosyncracies, that’s a word it can’t alter! Will have a look ant installing a kindle app.
