Thank you Senior for listing the features of the Kindle Paperwhite 3G. It may be what best suits my needs. I plan to find one and examine it.

Than you all for listing where I can obtain free ebooks, too.

Not sure if you have a Staples office products store in your vicinity but you could do a store lookup. See link above.

We have one here in our town, however, all of ours were ordered via Amazon.com with no problems at all.

They've even shipped them as gifts for us........to our kids, who had been reading on their tablets/I-pads, etc. They all love the Kindle. Actually, our son in law who was a diehard book lover now only reads on the Kindle Fire and loves it........

Good luck....
