He also uses it for email and Facebook, with WiFi. I read on my simple Kindle paperwhite, which is small and very portable. Now that we have iPhones, I use my phone a lot for data and email and Facebook. In fact I just started a new list in the notes app for books. Sycamore Row has just gone on the list. I like Grisham novels and have read most of them.<br />In the evenings I have my laptop on my lap, as in right now, and my phone is on the table at my side. It's so easy to just add a note on the phone rather than go get paper and pen and then lose the list.<br />Yep.

The Kindle does have a lot of apps...the grands filled mine with games.
