    I wish to get an e-reader. Does anyone have a recommendation?

    I have a Kindle Touch. Love it. Have never used or looked at another reader so I cannot compare for you. I think Amazon.com has a comparison tool for Kindle models.

    I'm with JC that kindle fire is awesome. If you have a good smart phone the kobo app is pretty good too. They have more dollar book selections which I really like.

    Thanks, Jordan. It would be nice to know what makes Kindle Touch rock for you. :)

    Are you able to borrow books from the library?

    Absolutely. My library participates in overdrive.com. Overdrive supports Kindle. I find a book at my library....get on the waitlist if there is one or check it out if available. I then sign into my Overdrive account with my library card and they direct me to Amazon.com. I download the book and can keep for up to 3 weeks just like a library hardcover loan.

    Between the Amazon freebies and my library I have only purchased one book for my Kindle. I do have one my library hasn't got yet....so that may increase to 2. :smt043

    See this link:

    Top 100 paid and top 100 free Kindle books from Amazon.

    Let me know if I wasn't clear on any of this. ;)

    Thanks !!!

    I will look up all the sites you offered. It won't be a bad idea to share something more in common with you. ;)

    Good. Between my library and checking that link I gave you for freebies straight from Amazon I have kept busy.

    if you have an iphone, i say get the free nook and kindle apps, that's cheaper. i had the orignal kindle(which is good) and now kindle fire. the fire is good but it has low disk memory: 5gb. in reality it's high end kindle/poor man's ipad.

    if you just want books i say get a basic kindle for 50 bucks.

    Thanks my brother!!

    I am curious what you have to say about screen size though. On the other hand, I suspect Kindle Fire might meet that criterion. Yet, It would not be a bad bet to have a dedicated device that incorporates technology with book experience in a modern fashion.
