    I just looked and thought there would be lots of threads for ebooks etc here but can't find a recent one.

    The Mrs had one in the summer and she is always on it.

    Is she the only one or are Kindle uses like Trump and Brexit supporters?......you all do it in secret.:)

    Ebooks are a great idea if you do a lot of travelling and/or don't like carrying around books. They save on space too!

    For me though, you can't beat an actual book in your hands. I keep saying I must get a kindle but still haven't got one yet.

    I have a kindle and I love it. Very easy on the eyes.

    I'm also a fan of getting stuff fo free so I borrow paper books from the library too.

    The Mrs just read this on her Kindle set in Ireland. Says it was very good. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082SXDJHM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    Ireland a place of evil

    You don't need a Kindle for ebooks btw. If you're a member of your local library, there's an app called BorrowBox where you can borrow ten books (five ebooks, five audiobooks) at a time for free. Great selection too.

    It's a great app to even try them to see how you feel about them. I read a lot of books on BorrowBox and then buy the physical copy of some of my favourites. It's nice to have them there if you want to re-read.

    Interesting about the audiobooks I like listening but she spent a wad on her kindle last summer. Wish I had known this.
