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.

What is a kindle?

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.
