| Kindle questions, any advice? |
|
I am looking at the Kindles, especially the $79 dollar one. I was wondering if anyone has advice about which type they prefer, and why. There is the $79 with a button thingie, there are also ones with keyboards and a touch screen.
I'm not interested in going larger/more than that, simply to read books on.
Do you have thoughts on button, keyboard, touch screen? thank you.

The $79 isn't touch screen, that is $99. 79 gets you a 5 way button. |

Thank you. I don't understand the difference, what 3g is, why can you still read? |
