You download books, read them on your Kindle.The easiest is to get books from Kindle but if you want to get books from other sources you can convert some using a program like Calibre on your computer.
You can get a Kindle, download a couple of free books, learn how it works and see if you like it. You have thirty days to return it. The basic Kindle isn't lighted and you need external light, just as you would with a book, but the other models have lighting built in.
What I like over paper books? I can get whatever books I want quickly and easily and often fairly cheap. I can increase the font to compensate for old eyes. I can look up words when I'm reading.
The only negaives that come to mind are no color, which is fine, but that means it's not good for graphics like photos or maps.
