My Kindle is lighter, easier to hold, the pages turn faster, it opens to exactly where I left off, & I have read many of the books on it more than once. A Kindle book is available at midnight or whenever I feel the need. You could send people Kindle books electronically for nothing more than the cost of the book. I can take my Kindle on a cruise, to Europe, etc., and have 200 books available in one skinny, lightweight package. Sure, print books are lovely, but digital has far more to offer.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040441084648426091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447996151440578956.post-87612723338301369162017-01-15T08:39:04.064-08:002017-01-15T08:39:04.064-08:00Seriously considering self-pub for my next one.

We're a multiple-Kindle family, as are our children's families, and I greatly appreciate the advantages of e-books. But that's for what I call "disposable books" (read-once, though the library is often best for that) and for especially good books that I want to have with me wherever my phone goes. And for sending book gifts overseas without paying exorbitant postage. I'm still finding value in a good, solid, well-beloved physical book. Especially for children -- I just spent over $100 to send a box of English-language children's books to Switzerland....Linda Wightman (SursumCorda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05743407414054956783noreply@blogger.com
