Oh, I think Kindle has been and is the most popular e-reader. I think Amazon is by far the largest e-tailor of books and will be for quite some time. They will make it easier for people and for most that's better.
Sorry about my links to outdated forum threads. I won't post those any more as they are not relevent, (hell I'm not relevant).
I decided to make myself a nice wooden book holder and buy one of those cheap sheet magnifiers to mount in a holder in front of it. That will keep me reading fine print books for a while and the books I can't get except on a reader, well I will get over it...
I just don't want to spend money on something like this when it's outdated by the time it hits the shelves and probably will go bad in a year or two, due to chinese manufacture. Too risky for my piddly minimum wage paycheck to waste on, especially when these economic times are so risky. It was a nice pipe dream and I almost went with it, but after looking everything over, it's not something I really need and really want doesn't work in these times.
That's why I take so long to research, it gives my time to really see if I need it or just think I need it. It also gives me time to evaluate price vs quality/useage/longevity and these readers don't add up to being worth very much (to me).
Amazon should give one out free for everyone who wants to sign a two year contract, just like cell phones.
Thanks for all your answers, they (along with many other threads here) helped me to see what I really need to do.
