just simply adore my Kindle - it's like being given new eyesight!

Funny you should say that Joanna. My special needs daughter loves to do copywriting on her laptop. Although she can't read she does copy word by word and not letter by letter, plus every capital letter and full stop. Unfortunately she has a problem with her eyes and her eyesight is very poor. The books we are able to get her don't have writing big enough these days .
We got her a kindle for Christmas and on the larger font she can copy to her hearts content. She turns the pages herself too so lm a very happy bunny for her. We also got her a cover which works as a stand too. Looks like it was the ideal gift.
l had a Kindle too but haven't registered it yet.....Dot
