They are indeed very portable, very slim-line but having some vision, when used with speech, as the page turns and it turns very often (little writting on each page) I find the flicker very uncomfortable on my eye. This would mean I would have to turn it up-side-down to use it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi RonI believe it is approximately £149 from Amazon, and that the work-around isto order books via the PC as opposed to directly from Kindle. Never having seen one, I am only going from what others here and on BCAB have posted.
