Have you found any quilt books available for Kindles, and if so, are they remotely useable on that small screen?
I am thinking of treating myself to one for Christmas, but still have a few niggling doubts so I need your opinions please.

An electronic reading device that downloads books from the seller...Amazon sells both.They also have older,classic free book downloads for Kindle.Go to Amazon to read all about it.

I don't have a kindle, but I asked my daughter. She said yes, there are quilt books. If you wanted to print a pattern from one you could, but you would have to do it one page at a time. At least that's my understanding. I don't like the electronic books, but my daughter loves hers.

I have a kindle, mine is the smaller screen, they came out with a larger screen after I got mine, but you can hook your kindle up to the computer and read it on your computer screen. I love that the kindle is lightweight fits in my purse and can be plugged in or run on batteries. I don't have any quilt books on it yet, but I plan on getting some soon. I actually didn't think I'd like the kindle as I have always liked turning the pages in a book, but once I got it, I LOVE it. I think you can even get audio books on it. Maybe I'm mistaken about that.

Thank you, they look promising, so at least I know there are some available. I wonder what influences Amazon to add more of a particular subject.
