Using an Amazon Kindle E-Reader

My ebook reader is from Amazon. There are lots of brands to choose from, but I like my Kindle. Here's why:

• It's compact and light weight.
• It's inexpensive.
• The battery lasts a long time.
• It holds thousands of books.
• You can adjust the font size.
• The contents are searchable. 
• A dictionary is linked to the text.
• It's readable in bright sunlight.
• A reading light runs off the battery.
• You can wirelessly download books.
• There are millions of titles to choose from.
• Amazon maintains your archived library.
• You can buy books from the Kindle or your computer.
• Ebooks are less expensive than print versions.
• Many ebooks are free or low cost.
• You can subscribe monthly to Kindle Unlimited.
• Amazon Prime users have free Prime Reading.
• Kindles are durable and last a long, long time!

I got mine in 2010. As you can see, she's had lots of use but she is still going strong in 2019. You can't say that for many other electronic devices.  My model is similar to the Kindle that now sells for $89.99. And the new one comes with audio capability.

Ebooks have revolutionized the publishing industry, especially for self-published authors like my husband Wayne. It's relatively easy to format and upload a manuscript for online sales. And there's no printing investment like there is for paperbacks.

I invite you to visit PowellRiverBooks.com to learn more about Wayne's series of Coastal BC Stories and science fiction titles.

If you don't have a Kindle, you can still read ebooks available from Amazon. There's are free Kindle Apps for computers, handheld devices and smart phones.

Here's a free Kindle copy of Up the Lake from Amazon.com to give it a try.
