Hello Connie:
I suspect you're going to love your Kindle. And you've come to just the right place for help and conversation. The folks here love all things to do with eBooks. There's a bit of friendly rivalry about which brand of reader one should get, which book format is the best, and which styles should be used when creating eBooks. It's a friendly gang. Welcome.

I have found with age has come bifocals and that is not necessarily fun for me to read my small paperback books. I just can't seem to get the book or my head in the right position comfortably.

I never wore glasses until around age 48 when I discovered I needed reading glasses. I went ahead with bi-focals rather than hanging the reading glasses from a chain around my neck.
I didn't bother with the no-line version since I wanted the maximum area of the glasses devoted to reading. That allows my eyes to track the text as usual instead of having to move my head to move the "sweet spot" across the page.

I hope that me being the technologically challenged individual that I am, I can make this work.

I have a dear friend named Bob who lives in Atlanta and who has helped his elderly (75-ish) friend master the Kindle ... reading books, shopping @ Amazon through the Kindle, shopping @ Amazon through his PC, downloading free books from varous sites, and transferring books from the PC to the Kindle. If you discover that you're stymied by one of these tasks, let me know and I'll ask Bob if he'd be willing to meet you at a coffee shop and give you a tutorial.
