Is buying a Kindle worth it? I'm looking at the Oasis, because I want the ability to disable touch screen and turn pages with the buttons (ya girl has ADHD and sometimes needs to follow along the line of text with a finger to avoid losing track of where I am).

I just love having a physical book in my hands, but I'm think the Kindle would be cheaper, and more convenient for travel, etc.

@gncif @bookstodon i have a super old version of the kindle (not sure what gen but it doesn't even have a backlight) and I've gotten thru way more books in the past few years than i would have merely sticking to physical books. i borrow a lot of ebooks from the library!

@nielle @gncif @bookstodon I second Nielle's endorsement. I have a first gen Kindle Fire, which although fairly heavy compared to it's more modern versions, has saved me on long flights, and in lockdown. I too check out zillions of books from the library on it, and sometimes travel with 10 downloaded at a time! Cannot imagine going back to physical books
