Recently I started getting my local area newspapers electronically and love it. I no longer have newspapers lying around mostly unread and it’s just a better fit for me. Because it’s been a mostly positive experience, I’ve been thinking about getting a kindle. I LOVE books and won’t stop buying them but for actually reading them, I think I might find the kindle a better fit. If that makes any sense.

Since you haven’t used a Kindle before, check Amazon refurbished ones to minimize trial cost. Have purchased all the Kindles and Fire tablets that way and all functioned perfectly beyond the short warranty period.

Check out the Kindle paper white. Pages are more like a book. A bonus is it’s waterproof, too.

If you have a tablet from Apple or Samsung, you can download the Kindle app from the respective app store.
You can also use your desktop or laptop computer to read, by logging in to your Amazon account. If you’re new to Kindle, I would recommend starting this way, before you get a a Fire tablet or Kindle reader. There are PLENTY of free, or out of copyright books available to read.
Also, get on the BookBub mailing list, and check ALL the reading interest categories. You’ll get a daily e-mail of 6-10 titles, most only a few dollars. If don’t see anything of interest today, delete the e-mail.
