Hello, and a happy new Year !
Hello,
I am new, and hope to get my first reader in a few days(weeks). I will get a Kindle, and I will love, to read many fanfiction on the reader, and don't have to sit for hours on my pc to read a story. And there are so many lovely books out, so I am longing to get books I have as paperbooks on my new reader, because, many of them are big, and a few are all over the house. So looking forward to a knew experiment, and looking out for new friends. |

Hi and welcome. Reducing the space the paper books take up is definitely a big plus with an e-reader. You can have your whole library on it without noticing or taking up any physical space. Pure brilliance. Especially with the really thick books
Since my native language is not English the dictionary on the Kindle has been immensely helpful to quickly look up words unknown to me. Most of my reading is done in English so it helps a lot. |
