I have had a Kindle for about a year and love it...yes, there are plenty of books related to quilting - just about anything is available...and when you have a Kindle account with Amazon, you can do a free download of Kindle for PC so you can read anything on your computer that you have loaded on your Kindle, so patterns etc are large enough to see or print. I load how to books, cook books, text books etc and have them easily accessible on the Kindle and the PC...
