New old ebook reader

bsmith · 03-30-2018, 02:44 PM

Hello all,

I'm 65 years old, and recently took up ebook reading. My eyes are not what they used to be, so I was having difficulty with regular print media. Then I found that I could read a PW3 ebook with less strain. This is important, as my ability to do much else besides read seems to diminish almost daily.

A big plus for me is the wealth of classic Christian literature available for free or $1.00. These books are ones that are not available in the community library, so this is a huge benefit.

Finally, I am a computer geek-wanabe. So I am attempting to find a way to jailbreak my Kindle without having to wait until a program for my version of the firmware is developed (need a USB breakout board that limits voltage to 1.8v).

Keep reading - you may still get old, but you don't have to grow old (at least not as fast!).
