Update: I ordered an old-fashioned Kindle and the clip-on light. It was a bust. First of all, the unit hardly functioned as a device. It might take 14 taps or swipes to turn the page. When I wanted to make the print smaller, it made it bigger.

When I got to the end of my first book, I could not figure out how to get off the last page and start another. (The web site was no help.) I could not find how to delete a book I had finished. and so on and so on

I thought it would be fun to read about the geology of the Rocky Mountains, but all I found in their vaunted 800,000 books was a series called the 'Rocky Mountain Six-pack Series,' whose cover featured a shirtless stud in a Stetson with his nipples pressed into a low-cut bodice.

They want $9 to $11 for an old Sheriff Walt Longmire mystery.

I thought it might be fun to re-read Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King,' but it was Not Found.

They said it would run for a month, but in less than a week, I had the low battery signal. I was ready to ship it back, but my husband thinks he can use it.   

Granted, it does not shine a light in one's eyes, and so it's nice for reading one's self to sleep. This is the old model, remember.

For my travels, I am going back to paperbacks.
