I have a Kindle which is Amazon's e-reader. There are a few differences between brands. I love it and always carry it with me. Its small and light, maybe 8 oz. The Kindle even will read the book out loud to me if I want. With the Kindle, I go onto Amazon (of course thru the OCF link) and select the books I want. Many are free. Then I click to buy it and within seconds the entire book is available to read. Many libraries also support these devices but I havent done that yet.
