Folks- The variable in the Kindle is the size of the pad, i.e. the size of the type you can blow up to. There are optional extras; e.g. built-in keyboard, webcam, etc. which jack up the price. The next level is the color one which is similar to an iPad. I don’t know about the new releases. Then there’s the Kindle app. you can download for FREE to your desktop/laptop. That’s what I got to read ATLAS SHRUGGED with. She gets drier as the story goes along and I needed the ability to enlarge the type for Book Three. Now that I have a wall full of once-read books that the library won’t take as donations*, I’m going to go with Kindle for the foreseeable future. (I’ll buy the dead-tree versions of Tim Dorsey because the covers themselves are art.)

On the Amazon site, they offer Kindle readers from $69 to $499. Any advice on which one would be best for occasional use?
