1. A Kindle is convenient to use
A Kindle is compact and lightweight, which makes it convenient to use, and its backlit screen makes it possible to read in the dark. It’s also possible to change the brightness of the screen according to your specifications. Another awesome feature these devices offer is the ability to adjust the size of the font. If you need a larger size font when you’re reading, it’s easy to make the text of all your favourite books bigger when you’re using a Kindle. The sleek design of these devices makes them comfortable to hold in your hand. Kindles have a long battery life and a single charge can last for weeks so you don’t need to hassle about charging it often.
2. Getting access to your favourite books is cheaper
More often it’s cheaper to buy ebooks than it is to buy paperbacks. This means that you can get access to more of your favourite books at a reduced price.

Over time, the money that you save on paperbacks helps to cover the costs of the initial expense of buying a Kindle. If you love reading, you can get hours of enjoyment out of your ebooks without spending a fortune. With plenty of free ebooks available online, you can also gain access to a range of books without spending a cent. It’s also possible to read a sample of each book before buying it, which is similar to reviewing a book before you buy it at a bookstore. A Kindle makes it easy to share your favourite stories with your friends and family if they have an Amazon account. Ebook sales help to cut costs even further.
3. Getting your hands on a book you want is quick and easy
When you own a Kindle, you can browse thousands of ebooks online and make a purchase with the click of a button. You can shop for ebooks from the comfort of your own home and you won’t need to wait for them to be shipped to you. There’s no need for delayed gratification when you own one of these devices since you’ll be able to download and read your new book instantly. Just visit the Kindle store, select the book that you want to read, and you can download it in a matter of seconds.
4. Extra features!
Kindles are equipped with innovative features, which makes your reading experience better than ever before. You can use your Kindle to highlight paragraphs and phrases as well as to make notes and leave comments. Your highlighted text is kept in a separate folder for easy reference. You can expand your vocabulary by using your devices built-in dictionary. This feature enables you to look up the meaning of words as you come across them in the book. The words that you look up are added to your Vocabulary Builder so that you can review them at a later stage. When you buy a Kindle, struggling to try and find your place in a book is a thing of the past as each book opens on the last page you were reading. You can even take a look at the paragraphs that have been highlighted the most by other readers.
5. Keep all your books in one place
While it’s great to have a large collection of paperbacks, it can be difficult to find a place to store them in your home. Owning a Kindle is advantageous as it saves physical space in your home. With this device, you can save hundreds of books in one place. Now you can take your entire library with you the next time that you go on a trip.

can I use it in Zambia. How much is it.
Hi Nawa,
Once you’ve bought your Kindle, you can use it anywhere. If you’ve connected your Amazon account to your Kindle, you simply have to connect you Kindle to a WiFi connection to download books and start reading. It’s important to know that you don’t need a WiFi connection to read the books on your kindle.
Kind regards,
