Default Amazon Kindle for Android

It's pretty easy, there's a load of free books to read and they only take a second or two to download.

I've just started Davinci's notebooks.

I'm hoping Mrs BP will take my very blunt hints and get me the full size one for my birthday!

Amazon Kindle page

For info of the.org only, I'm not selling it and am not an agent for, nor an employee of; Amazon...

Better value to be had by getting her to get you an Android Tablet - its more than an ebook reader then...

Had I not left my phone sitting in the toilet I changed into my textiles in when I was leaving 45 mins ago, I would have downloaded this the now.

PS...I hope I left it in the toilet....either that or it is lying somewhere in the 30 miles commute in pieces...

Kindles not too bad on the iPhone either. My only problem has been during the buying process, started to download a book, then payment failed so ended up downloading it three times. Not an issue if you're in a wifi zone, but I wasn't used up lots of my 3G allowance.

It's very useful for keeping a 'spare' book on when you don't know you'll need one, but i still like having a traditional I can fill up a bookshelf with.

Yes you can, stick it in a ziplock bag, much better than a soggy book. And the new kindle is amazing.

True, but, unless you know better*, all the ones I can see are much dearer.

I really like those - I wasn't that impressed until I'd actually seen one, they're much easier to read that an ordinary screen, streets ahead of the, admittedly few, tablets/I pads etc I have seen.

*And I imagine you do .
