I'm trying to catch up a little; this is the first week in months where someone in the family hasn't come down with a new medical problem. I have a lot of writing to catch up on, but at the same time I'm on vacation, and hoping to get a little R&R time along the way.
Meanwhile, does anyone have recommendations for a very cheap e-reader? I'm talking something for reading books only, nothing else. I have a lot of e-books I want to read, including many from writer friends, but I've found hauling my laptop around to my favorite reading places to be too much of a chore. (Doesn't work well in lines and waiting rooms, for instance.) I have a feeling even the least expensive will be beyond my present means, but who knows?
I have a plane ole Kindle.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for something even plainer than that, if you can imagine such a thing ... or more likely, a used/reconditioned/pawned other otherwise *very* cheap Kindle. That's the direction I'm heading now.
DeleteI love my Kindle. And not the kindle fire either. I have the one that has buttons on it that you can type in, and the price is really great these days! I thought in the beginning I wouldn't like ereaders because my preference is to hold a real book, but now I love it! It is very easy to use and practical, too. Good luck with your search!
ReplyDeleteI still prefer to hold a real book, but I've got about a dozen e-books from writer friends and I've found reading them on the laptop isn't as easy as I'd thought it would be. Luckily, like most writers, I've learned to read on a computer screen whether that's my preference or not! A new Kindle just isn't in my price range, but I'm looking into where I can find a used earlier generation one.
DeleteYOu might look for a second hand one on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteThat's a coincidence; we're doing that even as I speak. I mean, type.
