Just catching up
I had forgotten about Feist - wonderful epic series - well worth reading
and yes - Thomas Covernant was a struggle - all 3 times!
as far as Kindles are concerned I pretty much only read books on mine - never read "real" books anymore
I have discussed this with several people of different viewpoints
I think it depends on your mindset - to me the story and the characters are everything and anything getting in the way is unwelcome
including turning a page especially if I am e.g. lying on my side so the "other" hand is not where the book is - I find the kindle much easier and enhances the experience
I have met other people for whom the tactile feel of the book is a large part of the experience
as far as holidays are concerned I can easily get through 3-6 books on a holiday so using my Kindle helps a lot with packing
it also makes it easy to switch to something lighter for a while when a book is getting a bit heavy in terms of content
my wife would get through even more books - even in a normal week
BTW - I get most of my books from Amazon - because it is easy and I can wait and get them on offers
but I do get some from other places - some of which as free
you can get them onto a computer and email it to the kindle - there is an email address in the setting section
You just need to be aware that it only goes to that device - so it doesn;t appear on other things like tablets or phones unless you email it to their different address as well
