My kindle came in very handy then, as the font size can be easily adjusted, something a paper book can not do unless you use a magnifying glass.<br />Your two "devastating" novellas do not sound like something I would enjoy - I have had my fill of sadness in the past half year...Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-8580939942577288002023-02-23T17:24:53.983+01:002023-02-23T17:24:53.983+01:00Yes, I did try exactly that several times this mor...Yes, I did try exactly that several times this morning, but it would not work...

Have read two devastating novellas recently, 'Foster' and 'Small things like These' by Claire Keegan that I think are wonderful and heartily recommend. Very Irish and powerfully sad.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-15667257644820172162023-02-23T14:47:55.470+01:002023-02-23T14:47:55.470+01:00Usually, if it says "anonymous", I can c...Usually, if it says "anonymous", I can click on the little gray arrow next to it and select one of the other choices - Google account or Name/URL. If I pick Name/URL, I just type in my name and then click "continue" in the gray bar and that usually works.

But my kindle is different - there is no back light, no "flicker", and I can read on it even in the brightest sunlight while waiting for a train without it hurting my eyes.<br />At home, I read paper books, but while I am out and about, nothing beats the kindle, my trusted travel companion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-66157241879049366922023-02-22T16:09:35.288+01:002023-02-22T16:09:35.288+01:00I don't think my eyesight is up to reading a b...I don't think my eyesight is up to reading a book on line these days sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-39007097532881581752023-02-22T15:20:37.571+01:002023-02-22T15:20:37.571+01:00Thanks for the free ebook link!
