My Kindle is my best friend.
I have used kindle readers for around 15 years now. The last 2 were touch type readers.
They are wonderful while they work. I just purchased my 4 th kindle and it works great.
Experience has taught me that they don't last forever. They usually outlive the warrany.
Their lifespan averages around 3-5 years. Around that time they become temperamental.
Suddenly pages won't turn, the font size is hard to adjust, or other quirks develop. I know then
that a new Kindle is in order. What surprised me on my last purchase was the high price.
All my books are safe on the Amazon website. Of course I would appreciate better longevity
in this device, but I read a lot, so far I have 500+ books in there and they travel with me whenever
I leave home for several days or weeks. That is a great advantage, because pre- kindle my luggage
was weighed down with books. In addition I appreciate the ability to set the font size, which
is something you cannot do with a print book.
It would be nice if Amazon offered a discount to Kindle owners who have purchased more than 3 Kindles.
How about it Amazon !?
