Do you have an iPad? I have the Kindle App on mine and read from that. You can adjust the size of font to suit. I have an old Kindle which I rarely use so can’t advise on up to date versions

I use both a Kindle and a Kobo. I bought the Kobo to borrow library books as, at the time you couldn't use a Kindle. I think you may be able to now. IMO the Kindle is best.

It is easy to adjust the size of the writing and brightness and one of the uses for me is that I can read without putting the light on if I wake up in the night.

Amazon have some free Kindle books especially if you have Prime. Hope this helps.

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?
