Kindle wanted

[rids]

My son has asked for a kindle as he dose not like reading as he finds it hard to keep a book open (combination of only having the use of one arm and 10 year old size hands).

So as i have never used one is there a model that will be best suited for on handed use and dose anyone have one for sale. the only thing is i think he wants a paper looking screen.

Should have grabbed one of them Nook Simple Touch that were on offer at £29.

Great kit at a bargain price. Better (and cheaper) than a Kindle IMO.

They are out of stock ATM but the "glow" version is £69 which is the same as the cheapest kindle, but has the benefit of touch screen and a light for night reading.

Can also be rooted, and made into (very) basic tablet offering other reading apps like the kindle app itself, and also email, opera web browser etc.

Nook Simple Touch would have done the job nicely

Those were available at argos for the same price, they don't have any for home delivery but some stores still have them, have a look at your local stores.

I went through almost every store using the argos store checker and there appear to be none available. Most places have put their prices back up now.

Wished I had bought one at £29 Ever since I got mugged and lost my Kindle I've been lost but also short on money.

Saw the nook in a local sainsburys on the shelf yesterday so they're still about if you look hard enough

How does that nook work with downloads? my wifes kindle broke, so I said Id get her another, but I know the think she loves is going on amazon and picking through the free books, so does this work in a similar way to whisper sync?

[maltloaf]

If you root it and install kindle reader it will use whispernet
