I love the ease of Dandy on Kindle, but I have to say those books are one case where I would like the hard copy, because the books are always so beautiful.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-23760367269697461112017-08-04T04:27:03.086+01:002017-08-04T04:27:03.086+01:00II'm glad you brought up Kindle.

I had a very basic one for years, and that was quite good enough. But then when it finally gave up the ghost I decided I was going to go up in the world! There are many many things I don't spend a lot of money on (eg cars and phones) but my reading is very important to me. And the Oasis is amazing - small, but with a big screen, and very very lightweight. In fact the battery life ISN'T as good as the basic one, but everything else about it is wonderful, I love it and it makes my reading life so easy, as I travel by train a lot.

And, you never run out of something to read. And, you are not filling up your bookshelves quite so much.<br />However, I am not sure how easy it is to get books that are only published elsewhere - before now I have tried to buy an American-only book for my Kindle, and they have told me that I can't have it in England. But thinking about it, that hasn't happened for ages, maybe they're changing the rules. But check it out first.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-68627139976080012152017-07-28T11:59:02.271+01:002017-07-28T11:59:02.271+01:00I may have to get Kindle against my preferred tast...I may have to get Kindle against my preferred taste in modes of reading. First, to get books from other countries that aren't available here; second, to get books published in Europe first; third, to get books from Australia; and fourth, because I can't read small print any more. And Kindle lets a reader adjust the size of the font.
