My daughter Emma has one and loves it, she is an avid reader.
I have thought about one as sometimes books are difficult to hold, But i only really read Iain Banks books so it would be a waste of pennies.

Can you p p pick up a Penguin Rosie? Books haven't changed for hundreds of years, until now, it's time for change perhaps.

Yes, because it's connected with Amazon!  |

I buy lots of charity books and always wipe them thoroughly with a cleaning disinfectant. Of course, there are still the pages to worry about. I really worry about this too Lou.

I hate the smell of library or second hand books when the last person to read it was a smoker. I often give up and don't read it.  |

Can't complain about the choice. I still don't think I will get one this year. They could get better and cheaper. |

There are others on the market already, but they don't have the link to Amazon.

If you want to try it out to see whether you get on with the idea, you can download it free from the link I put in an earlier reply and then search and download some free books to see if you can get the hang of downloading and turning pages etc.....just pretend your screen is a big book ;D...you can also tell people to shush and pretend you are in a library ;D
