Really?
Does that mean that each of them also have 4 devices to also share?
The mind boggles.
It also wonders about purchasing from a device and how affluent you sound.
Very nice of you to share, but at what cost I wonder? Seems quite significant to me, and no way the standard lot or possibility for most people.

Seriously? I use the font control daily, and the line spacing control when my eyes are acting up, as well as the dictionary, instant delivery, easy access to multiple books. I switch between books almost daily as well, which is very easy when they are at my fingertips.
Adding...my elderly mother needs a larger font than my 35 year old DIL. My husband is able to use a small font. So we all adjust font size, and sometimes style as well.

Well I am not discounting you do, only that most would want or even do such. What you do is a very personal thing, and you should not presume that is what we all want. Most just want to read a book, as is ... in my experience.
Perhaps we live in very different worlds?
It is very rare for me to use a dictionary, I rarely find I need it, usually getting enough context from what I am reading ... just like the good old days of physical books. And for me it is all about what you are reading, and when reading fiction I do everything to maintain the flow ... interruptions are anathema in most cases ... my goal being to stay in the zone. Non-fiction of course is an entirely different matter.
Anyway, as I said, that is all about the features of the device and not really the ebook as such. For you and no doubt some others, it is clearly a benefit, for me and I am sure, a good number of others, it is just a mostly unused bonus.
