Hi all!

Thanks for your feedback regarding the Kindle Touch.

At this point, I think I will be returning it.

Things I liked
1. Size and weight
2. Ability to change font/size (although choices limited) versus a physical paper book.
2. Article Mode
3. Finding great free reads from Amazon

Cons (at least for me)
1. The contrast was too low on the screen. It had a tinted green background, so even in light, it was difficult to read on
2. Lack of font choices
3. Non backlit screen
4. Others I can think of right now.

I think some type of tablet device will be better suited for me.
I actually don't mind reading on a backlit screen. Also, I like having the additional functionality.

I have a chronic illness and need to be able to access research/information in an electronic format instead of lugging around all my personal documents, large books related to my illness, etc.

So, now I'm needing to seek another device.

I'll post this in a separate thread.
