I was highly skeptical of eBooks for many years. A friend had a Kindle reader and was thrilled with it but I was unconvinced. Eventually I did decide to try some eBooks and read them on my iPad. I began to find them a good way to go, especially for novels that I had no need to keep. The iPad is, for me a bit heavy to hold when reading in bed which I do regularly before going to sleep. I discovered that a Kindle reader was very inexpensive compared to tablets and phones. I then bought one for about $125. It is very lightweight, much lighter than most books, tablets and phones. Font and brightness can be easily adjusted, and one can store a huge number of books in the Kindle library. Though I will still read certain books in the traditional form, the large majority of my reading of books is on my Kindle Reader. In truth I have completely become a strong believer that reading books this way is wonderful. It is especially great for travel. I don't travel constantly, but do spend a month or so out of town during the hot Arizona summer as well as visiting my family in Chicago for a week or so during the year. In the past I had to take a large stack of books with me when traveling, now my lightweight Kindle Reader has become the ideal solution. There will be a modest number of books unavailable as eBooks, or some I want to keep on a shelf for future reference. But most of my reading are novels that I have no need to have stacked on shelves and never returned to again. Finally, there is now the option to share the Kindle library with my wife. So she can on her iPad read any books in my Kindle library and vice versa,
