I am thinking about a Kindle.

I am thinking about a Kindle.
But I am totally new to this electronic reading stuff.
I am the old fashioned gal who loves to browse through a bookstore for hours.
But now I am living in the boonies and there aren't any stores.
I would have to make a 50 kilometer trip into Munich. Or start ordering books online.
so I might as well go all the way and get a Kindle.
also, I have tons of books and it gets more difficult to move. The last thing I need are more books. Half of them are stored somewhere. German apartments are not so big.

What is out there right now and what do I have to pay attention to?
Can I increase the letter size for easier riding? I hate wearing reading glasses in bed.
What is the life time of the battery? How long can it run on one charge?

Any feedback is appreciated since I am just starting to do my research

      but use the Kindle "app" on my tablet device. It is great - I like reading history and have found lots of free books to download. You can look over the Kindle books online before you get a Kindle to... more
