I got a kindle from daughters for Christmas last year and I love it. Its the 3g with wifi. I have a hard time with my eyes and the kindle is great because you can enlarge the font so its like reading a large print book. I must have bought 150 of the cheaper books since I got it and now I can download from the library so that will save a lot of money since I read so much. After you read a book you can archive it so its off your main screen and not taking up space. And it stays charged for quit a while depending on how much you read. Best gift I ever got except for the puppy they got me the year before.
