Kindles

[AliFlump]

Hi, I am thinking of buying a Kindle but unsure which one is best. Is it better to have the one with the keyboard rather than have it come up on the screen and use the direction keys? Also is the one with the keyboard bigger than the one without? Thanks for any help/info

keyboard one is bigger. can't answer the 1st question as i don't have both to compare which is better. I have the keyboard one, but i hardly ever have to use the keyboard bit - i either click through on the kindle home page or if im after a specific book i'll search on amazon on my computer for ti

Mine has a keyboard. Very easy to use. Frightened me nearly to death a few weeks ago when I switched it on and it started talking to me.

I have a basic kindle, no bells or whistles - it does me just fine. I just point and click on what I want or else I buy the kindle books at amazon and send them to the kindle - it's easy. I have arthiritis in my hands which is why I opted for a basic one in the hopes it would be easier to hold and operate, it's a nice size for me to manage

Mine is basic. Bells or whistles might have been marginally less scarey.

Bit of a question hijack! I've just got my Kindle...is there an easy way to find free books without getting lists of obscure books ( like The Hunchback of notre dame in Polish!)?

Thanks for your answers. I think I'd like the smaller one so I can keep
It in my bag. I suppose as long as I can read a book on it that's all
I need!!!
