Fiction

I am a long time Kindle user and I love the paperwhite. I bought a newer one earlier this year at a very good price offered by Amazon in an email.

I like the paperwhite's backlit screen and the different fonts and font sizes you can choose to make it the easiest to read with. When you read outside in the sunlight, turn off the back light and it is just like a paper page -- it is perfect to me. I use the Amazon cover which protects the screen and turns on the Kindle when you open the cover. The cover makes a useful stand also. I like 8gb model.

I have the Kindle Unlimited which is $9.99 a month. The price of Unlimited is well worth that. I would never have read so many books if I had to purchase them. I could get books from the library ( which is what we used to of course) but I probably couldn't have gotten all the many different things I have read. I still occasionally purchase an book but then get interested in all the mentions and places that book leads to and usually can get what I want on Unlimited. Included with Unlimited are three magazine subscriptions.

You will get Amazon Prime Reading for free for being a Kindle user and choose from many good books. You also get to choose upcoming releases to read for free.

With the magazine subscriptions you need a different reader. I also have the Kindle Fire which is wonderful. You can read anything on it and it is a great experience. My current Kindle Fire is the 10 inch ( I think it is called ) and that is a good size for me at home. I use it to browse the books I want to read and to read the magazines. The larger Fire has a long battery life -- all day really -- and it charges quickly.

If I had the Kindle when I was a boy, I would have gotten into a lot less trouble. Of course we had no money so Unlimited would have been out of the question but I would have figured out a way to get books by hook or by crook.

Latest reads: Autobiography of a Yogi, Death Must Die (reading currently and got there via Autobiography of a Yogi), some sci-fi, etc.
