An old (72 yrs) guy trying to learn a new trick!
Just got my first Kindle the other day and been having a blast using it. I already read a whole book; the first one in many years. Been playing with digital stuff since the days of the first Apple and RadioShack computers. So it doesn't scare me but I am sure I'll need a little help along the way. It sure is a neat little item and I'm anxious to learn all about it.

Welcome. You may be surpised that there are more 72 years olds here than you might think. Questions? Just ask and someone will try to help.

Welcome.
It's nice to have someone in my age-group on MR. I have had a lot of fun learning, and my husband has purloined one of my readers, as he saw they were great as far as the font size is concerned. Cheers |
