I posted a few days ago that I'd be trying out the Kindle from Amazon to see if I could use it to read. It works - at least for me, with my disability, I found a way to make it work as an assistive device.
I can read with no head pointer, no pain. Without having to deal with a device for audio that I can't get at due to lack of dexterity. This device has the potential, in the future, to meet even more needs for people with disabilities with a few tweaks and some forethought.
This is very exciting. And good to find out that there are free books available at manybooks.com which are easy to download. Books like classics from Edgar Rice Burroughs, who in 1936 was approached by Bob Clampett to animate one of his series, as shown in this video. (h/t Sandbox World blog)
I'll be doing a review of it and sharing my experiences with it. Soon. But first I want to read a few books.
I'm sure you understand :)

Great news. I hope you enjoy it and I'll be interested in reading the review because I know a few people who thought of trying one out.
