Thanks Elaine, I appreciate the address. I will get one of them the next time I get to the book store. I looked at Kindles at the book store, almost bought one but after the demonstration to show me what I could do with it, decided I was better holding the book in my hand instead, then I would know where I am. This new stuff is for the younger people, my cell phone, digital camera and computer are enough technology for me. :-) Janet -----Original Message----- From: ETM <[email protected]> To: gen-newbie <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Apr 12, 2013 6:24 pm Subject: Re: [GN] Lenovo with Win8 I almost always go with the dummies books.

I love the eReaders, probably the Kindle most, after that the iPad, then the Nook, last the Sony. The Nexus is truly a tablet, does what tablets are supposed to do, so if you want a mini-computer, then consider the Nexus. But if you want a good eReader for aging eyes and arthritic hands, I recommend the Kindle Paperwhite, doesn't cost a fortune, has no audio, is lightweight, and my 78 year old eyes love my being able to increase the font size on the page. BTW, all the eReaders keep your place no matter what. If they don't they need to be returned for an exchange. Between free offers and purchases, I now have over 4000 books in Amazon's cloud. I run about 500 on my various eReaders. I reserve the tablet color eReaders for recipes. I love cooking and share several cooking lists. I have been buying children books for the last year during my grandchildren's first pregnancy. Aria was born in March and when mama wants she can go to a Kindle I gave her with my account on it and find all those books to read to Aria. Don't be run off by worrying about age and the new devices. I will be 78 in October and am self-taught. No one used computers until almost the end of my working career.
