I Prefer Books In Print Over E-books

When you love reading

I really have always loved the feel of a book in my hands as I read. But since I got older, my vision isn't what it used to be. Even the print in the large print books isn't sufficiently large for me to read more than a few pages before I can't see straight anymore.

Since I downloaded the kindle app on my devices, I'm reading a couple of books a week now. What a joy to be able to get the print big enough that I can read for a couple of hours before my eyes get too tired and I need to take a break.

Yes. I still love the paper books, but I really appreciate the eBooks.

Thank you. I am thinking of getting a Kindle.

I just downloaded the kindle app on my iPad, android tablet and on my phone. I can read wherever and whenever I want. And, of you're interested, BookBub.com has bargains every day. You just subscribe and they send the deals to your email. Some are free, and others cost a buck or two. Choose one or more, or none, but check each day, because some of the newest and best books can appear there for a day, and then disappear.

@Serenitree: I'd think it would be easier on the eyes reading on a Kindle device instead of my tiny phone. Is it worth it to buy a Kindle device?

@greenmountaingal: it is definitely worth it. I just looked it up on Amazon. This is the American Amazon store, so U.S. Dollars.

@Serenitree: Thanks!

@greenmountaingal: you're welcome. I really think if you get one, you won't be sorry. They are worth every cent. You can borrow them from the library, and you can get free or nearly free books from BookBub. Great bargains. Amazon also has a really large selection of free ebooks on their kindle department.
