Trade your Kindle in on an iPad. That’s what I’m using, too.
I got the Kindle for my birthday so I didn’t have to pay anything for it. Since then I haven’t bought a single thing to read on it. I do have over a hundred free books on it. An iPad is out of my price range at this time. The bad economy has made the business I am at lay people off and those that are left have had several wage cuts.
