 Wales - smokie
SWMBO is an avid reader but was dead against a Kindle. She said a book wouldn't be a book if she couldn't hold it.

I got fed up with her taking 7 or 8 books on a two weeks holiday, soaking up the luggage allowance, so I went out on a limb and got her a Kindle for Christmas (2017 I think)

She can hardly put it down now, she absolutely loves it. Really portable and easy to read in all light, long battery life, and she can carry round plenty of reads and download more as required. She keeps it with her a lot of the time and where I would play some mindless game is a queue or on a train she will read a bit. Also if she wakes up in the night (which she often does) she can read without putting the light on.

Mostly she only gets cheap books - which she used to do anyway, from the charity shop, but it certainly is no more expensive to run.

I get that it wouldn't be for all kinds of reading but if you've not tried one I'd say it would be worth doing so.
