Wow! I've been a Prime member for a couple years now and had *no* idea about the free book until I read your post! I knew we could *borrow* a book each month, but had no idea about Kindle First until I looked it up a few minutes ago and selected one for February.jcox27 wrote:I personally Have a KIndle, I looked into and the draw for me was how resilient it was, Plus I have Amazon Prime and Kindle Unlimited in order to have better book choices. Every Month Prime gives me a free book. Its amazing.
Thank you!
Even though I have Kindle devices, I'm sure there is a Nook app I could use on my iPod if I needed it so even if we have only one or the other device, we could still potentially have both through the apps!

Why? It's what my boyfriend bought me for Christmas in 2013. I have 5,000 books on it (it's full and won't load my entire 8,000 ebooks on it)
However, I've only read about 4 or 5 ebooks so far.
Why? I have 12,000 paperbacks in my bedroom (300,000 books total, but the rest are in storage). I read books. Rabid reader of books. Can't get used to ebooks. ebooks, don't feel like books to me.
Also, I live up in the boonies - electricity is touch and go around here, especial in the winter when we can go weeks or even months on end, snowed in with no electricity. The Kindle holds an 8 hour charge. No way to recharge it once we are snowed in and the power goes out. Perhaps if I lived in the city or down south more where snow is under 7 feet a storm or less then 8 months a year or electricity was more reliable, maybe then I'd use the ereader more often, but, I don't and I don't plan to - I like the cold, I like the snow, I love being snowed in with nothing but mountains of books to keep me company, so I've no intention of moving south or into more built up areas with less snow and better access to electricity. We've only just recently got cell phone access and that's touch and go.
Techy gadgets are nice and all, especially ereaders, but they are rather dependent of stable access to electricity, something we just ain't got around here.

That won't last you for many months when it gets that bad but if you get a couple of battery packs it'll get you through at least a month.
Here are some links as examples. If you watch for sales these are always going on sale:
Well, it won't let me post the links. They require that I use the ASIN number with Amazon but that's only for books.

I started out with an actual hold-in-your-hand kindle that my mom bought me for christmas one year. A year later the screen busted on it somehow, pretty sure my nephew may have stepped on it. By that time, I had a smart phone and could download the kindle app on it. That's what I use the most now, although occasionally I'll want to read an actual book.
