I read on a paperwhite too and download cookbooks and quilting books to either my laptop or desktop using the free kindle app. Bigger pictures and in color!!! You may not need a kindle fire tablet.

My Kindle Fire uses a micro SD card so I never run out of space. The computer uses a flash drive, I never run out of space on my laptop. All my old books I downloaded to Windows 98 load just fine on Windows 10. All publishers of the quilt books I have checked into, allow printing for personal use. I don't see the problem.
I wanted a quilt book that isn't that old but out of print. Prices start at $45 for the soft cover. No thanks, not worth it to me. I downloaded it to my Kindle for $4.99. I have started to buy the downloads of quilting books. If I do need a print out, I take a picture of the page, send it to my email and then print it from there. I am liking the E downloads more and more. I bought another Kindle just for quilt related books and patterns. I can hold a bookshelf of quilt books in my hand. Anyone else like the E books?
This only works for as long as your computer has A-space available, B- does not change formatting and is still supported, (like the windows 10). Also it has to specifically state that you can print it or it is illegal to do so! and NO, I am not a fan of Ebooks of any kind!

For those not thrilled with the idea of e-books in general: A Kindle or tablet is a lot easier to travel with than multiple books. And, should you develop arthritis in your hands, holding a tablet is much easier. That is what finally turned me.

I find that my thumbs and fingers, particularly the index ones, are swollen and fat after very much time on my iPad. Seam ripping, with the rolling motion I use, is a close second.

I don’t think you can print from a Kindle reader.
On a computer or tablet, use the “screenshot” function. From a Windows computer: “The easiest way to take a screenshot on Windows 10 is the Print Screen (PrtScn) key. To capture your entire screen, simply press PrtScn onthe upper-right side of your keyboard.
The screenshot will be saved to your Clipboard. To save the file, paste the screenshot into any program that allows you to insert images, like Microsoft Word or Paint.”

Kindle and wifi
Just a tip. We cruise a lot and read from our kindle fires since many ships are nixing their libraries. We can download more books from free wifi in cruise terminals or airport or tether from our phones if we need to or want to look something up.
