To Kindle or not to Kindle

I find the problem with a Kindle, or tablet, is that you can't lend or pass on books to family and friends, otherwise I like it.

Do you have a tablet or smartphone? If so try downloading the kindle app and try it that way rather than shelling out for a kindle and finding you don’t like it. I have the kindle app on my iPhone and tbh since my last kindle broke I haven’t replaced it because the app does the same job.

I use my kindle a lot. Especially good for insomnia reading as doesn’t wake DH. I have loads of books on it available to re read

Many thanks for all your advice. The problem is that I don't feel I would be able to concentrate on the plot if I wasn't holding an actual book in my hand........

I’ve had my Kindle Paperwhite for about 7 years. It means when I wake at some ungodly hour, I can read without disturbing my OH. The little lamps clipped to a book didn’t work for me.

I go between my kindle paper white, BorrowBox on my iPad and I still enjoy physical books. Cannot imagine being without my kindle though.

I have used a Kindle since they first arrived and wouldn't be without it. I do still read physical books from time to time but prefer the Kindle. I'd recommend the Paperwhite. Very intuitive to use and much like reading on paper for the eyes, but also has a back light for reading in low light.

I wouldn't be without my Kindle. I read two to three books a week and it's great when you go on holiday - no books to pack in the case.
I do go back to reading a paperback now and again as I find that quite comforting being able to turn the pages.

Yes I have a kindle and use it. I also have a mini iPad and download books from our library using Borrowbox which is free and excellent along with a good selection of audio books. All in all I mix and match but do yearn for a proper paperback.
