I then started to scan a page that I required pasting it onto my computer to use as an aide-memoire. I hope that being able to load an E Book onto my computer would relieve me of that task.
Exposing my absolute lack of E Book technology suggests to me that I don’t even need an E Book reader such as a Kindle. However, I assume that depends upon the application that the E Book is built with. I have a couple of questions:
Will I be able to open whatever EBook I buy on my computer or do I require a “specific reader” for each type of EBook?
There appears to be a large number of “Free” E Books and I placed, “Free” in inverts because as soon as I opened one up I found that it was far from free. I should make it clear that I have no objection to paying for E Books but would anyone care to say what “Free” E Book sites are worth looking at. In fact what commercial E Book sites are worth looking at?
Many thanks in anticipation.

getting an ereader will help with you being distracted. PC reading will be distracting
