Don't spend a lot of time worrying whether a Kindle will work for you. Amazon takes all returns and provides free shipping. If it doesn't work for you, send it back.

I'm glad that our libraries provide a means to download ebooks. However, I'm somewhat old-fashioned and buy mine from Amazon. They can be shared with other members of your household, although two people cannot read them at the same time, just as with print books. It may not make sense, but I feel there is a difference between a lending library making print books available as opposed to letting people download an author's work with a few keystrokes on a computer, with the authors receiving no payment. Libraries will buy a limited number of print books and people often have to wait their turn to borrow one as well as having to go to the trouble to pick up the book. With ebooks, thousands of copies can be downloaded within minutes and their authors receive nothing.
