I agree with you. Our daughter's brother in law had the Nook and when he saw our Kindles many years ago, he became a "convert".
Hubby gave me the newest Kindle Paper White for Christmas, although we both have the original Kindles, plus the Kindle Fires......as well as assorted I-Pads, the mini and the larger size.
WE both love reading on our Kindles.....and have for years and years now.
Amazon's system can't be beat. (We both love amazon for shopping too.)
Amazon has great customer service should a problem pop up, which it hasn't......but when I upgraded to the newest and wanted to give my older Kindle Fire to my 12 year old grandson, they walked me through the transfer which was super easy.....then we mailed it to him. We had "gifted" all of our adult kids and oldest granddaughter with Kindles one Christmas, but this grandson was still younger and I knew the parents preferred, at the time, for him to read a good old fashioned book, but now that he's in middle school, the Kindle comes in handy. They are all given computers in schools these days........even our 4th grader 9 year old granddaughter........plus all the grandkids read on Kindle Fires now.
We always had bookcases and bookshelves all over our homes, but they are long gone now........and the Kindle is the way to go. LOVE THEM.
p.s. My husband just mentioned that he can also read books on his I-Phone with his Kindle app.............
For two old grandparents, we are right up there with the newest technology and have been for a long time.
We both read voraciously since we got our Kindles; lightweight and comfortable.......no matter where one travels.
In the past (olden days) I used to bring huge tote bags filled with BOOKS onto airplanes (to read on our vacations).....now, it's just one of my Kindles in my purse. Lighter way to go....for sure.
