-----for the welcome.
Since my first post I have been busy installing & configuring several of the apps recommended in another forum as well as some of the recommends ebook sites.
As for a cover ----

I am on a very tight budget but found one of my Day Planner (9 x 7) zippered folios! Took out the calendar section & with the help of some industrial strength Velcro I had laying around, was able to secure it to the now vacant section of the planner

. I feel so very clever & resourceful atm. It works GREAT & cost me nothing but my time.
As for books, however, that is proving to be more challenging. I have attempted to download numerous onesfrom this site bu none of the formats are able to be read / opened? What formats does. Kindle Fire read?
