(9,314 posts)9. I didn't know how I would like my Kindle
when I first got it because I love books, but my Kindle is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I base things on a cost to enjoyment ratio and by far I've enjoyed the Kindle far beyond its cost. I love being able to download a book whenever I want one. I don't have to drive to the library or the store when the newest bestseller by my favorite authors hits the stores. I just click on Amazon and download it. Amazon archives every book I've bought and the ones I want to keep on my Kindle I can put in categories. I love, love, love it! With the cover it feels like a book. I may eventually get the new PaperWhite when they work the bugs out.
I hope your cost to enjoyment ratio is as high as mine.

OP
I was reading a book last night with small type and I wished I could make the type bigger.

Barnes and Noble sells recertified models on eBay so it's worth watching the Daily Deals.

Virtually free Kindle Fires are in second place and barely affect iPad sales.
