Mine just decided not to charge anymore, but it is very old so no complaints. One of my daughters has a simple one even though she has an iPhone. They are great for holidays (remember those) because you don't need to drag multiple books along. I'm going to get a new one as soon as my bank account has recovered from recent expenses

We had a chemistry teacher at my senior school Oldbury Technical,in the local jargon simply The Tech, called Mr Ronald Kindle. Nice fellow to me anyway. He later became Head Master at Rowley Regis Secondary Modern Boys School or again in the local jargon Brittania ( is it two t's and one n or one t and 2 n's ?) Road.

I'm on my second one. I wouldn't be without it, particularly useful for holidays, as I would take 3 or 4 books every time! You buy/download books from Amazon. Very easy to use. Mine's a paperwhite. No dazzle if using outside.
