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.

I adore my Kindle for several reasons, but I still love real books, too. My husband bought me my first Kindle, because I read in bed, and he's a light sleeper. He was always annoyed by my book light, and the sound of pages turning.

I love the way it slips into the pouch on the side of my purse, that I can load it up with books for a trip, even audiobooks--- it links to the Bluetooth in my car. You will never be without something to read; you can have a new book in minutes.

@juca @gncif I'm on my 3rd Kindle. I absolutely love mine.

Me, too. For those considering getting one, it isn't that the Kindle isn't durable. I upgraded the first time to get the audio feature, and the second time to get some new features, as well.

My second Kindle got a bit flakey after 3.5 years, but the problem may be that I had too many audio books downloaded. I'm planning to use that one exclusively for audiobooks now, just one book at a time.

@juca @gncif Agreed. Great products and Amazon had great customer service (no one probably wants to hear that) when the "k" stopped working on my 2nd gen (had the exposed keyboard) they sent me another so quickly. That one one finally kicked the bucket after several yrs. Bought the 1st Paperwhite and had that for almost 8 yrs. Had a tiny pixel go out, but was still usable. Recently bought the newest one for a few different reasons.
