Do you use it regularly? <br /><br />My latest issue is that when I tried to buy a small Android tablet yesterday I couldn't find one at any of the major online retailers. Even Samsung couldn't give a date for vailability.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-47082613222101610962020-04-19T22:08:05.411+10:002020-04-19T22:08:05.411+10:00In most ereader software Bill, you can enlarge the...In most ereader software Bill, you can enlarge the size of the text to suit your reading needs. I prefer reading on my Kindle Paperwhite and generally add any non Amazon books to it via the free Windows program Calibre which I use to manage and convert ebooks to mobi. Kindles will display PDF and Mobi files as well as Amazon’s azw format. On my ipad I have BorrowBox, Libby and RB digital for reading books from various libraries. I also have the Kindle app there and on my Android phone in case I am caught out waiting somewhere without my Kindle. PDFs can also be emailed to Kindle. Many books from the likes of such places as Gutenberg are also available in a variety of file formats including Kindle. Books such as those bought from Gould genealogy I store in Evernote so they are available on my ipad, phone or laptop. Like Jill I rarely read digital magazines, they are often overloaded with advertisements and can be slow to display. crgalvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01118766224187668713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-44457226697921003632020-04-19T16:28:28.480+10:002020-04-19T16:28:28.480+10:00I “couldn’t” survive without my iPad now...I use i...I “couldn’t” survive without my iPad now...I use it far more than the desktop/laptop. I read, email, social media etc etc, on it. The mini seems to only weight 300gms and my own IPad is very light...it’s often the protective covers that add to the weight. I tried the kindle years and years (10?) ago and didn’t like the reading experience on it, so gave it away.

How do you work around Kindle/Amazon's proprietary roadblocks if not acquiring from them?Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728498870815360891noreply@blogger.com
