A friend bought the kind that opens vertically (like a shorthand notebook?) which you can prop up - as I see people do with I-pads. i.e. no hands necessary. Great if you are in cafe or reading in bed!<br />AliB Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623806380645887747.post-57410764893059055082012-08-12T10:29:47.486+01:002012-08-12T10:29:47.486+01:00I prefer to read on my Kindle because I can do it ...I prefer to read on my Kindle because I can do it pain free. Holding a book open is murder on my thumbs because of a wee bit of arthritis in my wrists. So maybe I'll try it the thumbless way and see if it is any better.Chris Longmuirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488093821886798927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623806380645887747.post-63136823071611528832012-08-11T09:38:00.703+01:002012-08-11T09:38:00.703+01:00Hi Ros, glad those sun rays arrived :) So you'...Hi Ros, glad those sun rays arrived :) So you've gone back to books, never mind, your Kindle is there should you need to use it again.

Thanks for stopping by :)<br /><br />Hi Mohadoha, My Kindle is filled with Indie author books and there are so many great ones out there. I think established authors too will be using Kindle more in the future.

For those books I'm looking forward to reading by established authors, the paperback has been the way to go.
