It really does make sense to have an inexpensive e-reader. I had a scare on Monday when walking with my 16 month old grandson along the river walk. We were resting on a adirondack chairs on the top deck. When he suddenly grabbed my voyage and decided it would be fun to throw it over the rail into the river. I caught him just in time. It was a close call. So yeah maybe a new basic kindle on sale would be a good idea.
