Medusa Wrote:I love my Kindle. I actually decided not to get a case or light for mine. With my arthritis its very comfortable to hold just the way it is so I didn't want any bulk added to it. The hand strap sounds interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of that. I think you would need a light if he'll be reading somewhere without good light. The screens are not backlit at all. Be sure to use the free book downloads. I download stuff all the time. I don't know when I will possibly read them all but I have discovered some great new authors that way. This is the best website I've found to look up the free downloads on Amazon by genres.

Thanks for that link! If he wants to brave the computer, i'm sure that will be handy! Think I might check out the available lights, just in case. The case I picked out is made by Marware. I have an iPod case that I absolutely love from them, and they have great customer service (got the CEO hybrid for my iPad).

My iPad case does that and it's fantastic! I suspect he will need to have the font decently large, so will need to do frequent page turns. I'm not sure if the dexterity required to turn the page while not knocking it over will be an issue. Think i'll scope out some alternatives in case I need to exchange for a stand case to be safe.

Well, he would not be medically cleared for any type of long distance travel even in a car, but that makes two votes for a light. Better take a look!
