I LOVE my kindle!!! I have a light that is attached to it. I enlarge the print. It is compact and portable. I have had mine about a year and I have read 50 books already. I had grown weary of reading. I take mine up to pretty large print. There are thousands of free books and a ton of cheap books. I find that I enjoy a lot of the indie writers out there that are not obligated to repeat the same old junk that New York is putting out now days.
