I've had a Kindle since they first came out. The one with little push buttons if you wanted to make notes. Analog?
I've always found Kindle great for fiction. But horrid for scholarly books, where I want to underline, put in different colour tabs, notes at the back. If I bought a book on Kindle to get reading for a class, I would end up buying the paper book, and restarting reading from page 1. Just my style of reading text books, going back 50 years.
But now that I am going blind, Kindle is going to be an asset for a few years. I've already had to make the font larger twice. I pulled out a book from my paper collection of thousands of books & I couldn't read it. There wasn't enough contrast between the yellowed paper & the faded black letters. I've changed paper Bible to a larger font, not sure what will happen with reading Koine, German, French, Hebrew. And a lot of theological books aren't always formatted for Kindle, either.
The best thing is because my Kindle is not back lit, it's much easier on my eyes. So less damage! And so much lighter to take 100s of boxes on a vacation on my Kindle, than paper copies, especially hardback books!
