"I love my Kindle but I only read books on it at this time. Never thought of it for crafts. I have a recipe book on it and I don't like it much.
It is great for reading ....

"i love my iPad for reading books. use it for teaching my Sunday School class, too. all my manuals and scriptures on it, even our hymnal. but, i like my Southern Lady magazine in paper. not only more enjoyable, but i save them. ;-)"

"I said the exact same thing, but let me tell you-I now love my Kindle!! I don't want magazines on it; I like having them in color and a larger picture. But books...I have a cover on my Kindle that opens like a book, and I can read with the…"

the rogue quilter replied to Shirley Strache's discussion E-Readers"i so totally, albeit respectfully, with your husbands idea.

Sherry Combs Sharpnack replied to Shirley Strache's discussion E-Readers"I agree with everyone. I LOVE books on my Kindle. I got the Washington Post for a while, but didn't like not having the paper spread out before me; I could only look at one little section at a time. This same principle applies…"
Shirley Strache replied to Sue Clark Koenig's discussion Cricut in the group Appliqué"Do you have to get the most expensive machine to be able to use the USB? I used my sister-in-law's when I visited last time (for scrapbooking tho) but it was the original one that now is not as expensive as the other two they offer.…"
Carolina Fuchssteiner replied to Shirley Strache's discussion E-Readers"I am like you. I like the technology but not for quilting magazines. When I do a quilt from a magazine I change the colors or the size or the borders and I write the changes on the pages.
You are not alone against "technology" I am on your…"
Kathryn Bates replied to Shirley Strache's discussion E-Readers"I am on my second Kindle -- but use it almost exclusively to read books. I tried to use it for books for a Lit class I took, and found that it was awkward to get to the page the class was discussing - since many books have no table of…"
"i love books AND e-books. ome thing i like about reading on my iPad is that i don't need a light, and it disturbs my husband less. it was also great to take on our summer trip. no running out of books or hauling along a bunch of extras."

Lynnell replied to Shirley Strache's discussion E-Readers"We have two different Kindle readers in our house and I've been wondering about the same thing. I'd love to save space and paper BUT, like you I like having those patterns in my hand! "
Lana Laqua replied to Shirley Strache's discussion E-Readers"i know you need a printer with air print to print from iPods and iPads. Don't know if that is compatible with all e-readers or tablets. Then there's the cost if replacing your printer. Usn't technology fun! :)"
"I'm in complete agreement about the fun of leafing thru an actual mag. or book. But when my computor got Alzheimer's,we bought a tablet to use.l find it opens web pages much more efficiently. Perhaps there is a wireless printer available…"
