Balance
I’m a book freak. I will read almost anything and my husband made a good point about all the space my books were taking up especially since I’d read 90% of them and unless they’re a favorite I won’t read again. So I grudgingly started to actually use my kindle and my kindle app on my iPad. First - I love that you can highlight great quotes or see - without it being intrusive - quotes that others had highlighted if there were many. I don’t have to scrawl all over my beloved books to take notes either. I love that my library -via Libby - allows me to read so many books on the kindle app and it’s connected to my account so I can put my iPad down and pick up my actual kindle.
If you are a more-than-one-book a month reader I definitely recommend Kindle Unlimited. You can hold up to 10 books so you never have to wait to borrow a book when you’ve finished one. It’s an awesome App and I absolutely love my actual Kindle too.
I do still read analog books though bc I’m not ready for a world without the smell of a fantastic old classic and a cup of coffee in my hands. Besides, I’m not ready to obliterate an entire beautiful magical imaginative and instructive industry. ❤️

Better than physical books
For years I dismissed the kindle/e-reader, I was of the opinion that nothing beat the feel and smell of a physical book. Now while I still love the smell of a book, the convenience of having a library at my finger tips is just too good to pass up. I read ALOT at least a book a day sometimes two, I used to hate having to go shopping for new books once I finished one… Kindle and Kindle Unlimited have changed everything for me. I no longer have to hit the shops or wait for a delivery to jump into my next story, its literally the click of a button and I am good to go. I can search by author, book name or even trope, its a readers paradise. If you are on the fence I say give it a go, what’s the harm? And you may just find you are converted like I was. :)

My portable library
I have a kindle paperwhite and to be honest I don’t ever want to live my life without it. If you have a love for books it won’t replace that feeling of flipping the page, the smell of the paper or the weight in your hand. However if you devour books in a speed like I do, you will love the kindle. Just because it’s like having the library without worrying were you need to place the all the books that accumulated. No longer having to choose which book(s) to take with you when travelling or making room to bring books back with you from your travels. Battery last amazingly long and charging goes fast enough. And if all that fails there’s the app you can put on your phone. Perfect for waitingrooms to speed up time with reading something you actually like instead of grabbing a magazine usually present in those environments. Treat yourself you won’t regret it!

Great Read
My first thought that she might be dead was when she first interacts with the housekeeper - and I said it off the cuff because of the housekeeper’s reaction to her was like someone who shouldn’t be there, and thought even more so because of her loss of time (I’ve seen many movies & more so read many books, I think some word choice descriptions become instinctive). I was very annoyed with her by the plot twist explanation. I thought the boy might be real when he screamed after looking at her. I kept thinking Dante & Aiden were the same person from the very beginning of Aiden’s introduction but couldn’t figure out how and was a little thrown off that in the end he was dead too and very aware of it. I felt bad for his character for dying after finally finding something good in life. Very unfair. I immediately thought the creepy guy was her husband because the obvious reasons, plus she said she watched him die (loved or not my spirit would be livid you “watched” me drown).. although, I was very surprised to find out he was alive and the mental twist with his story, plus trying to skip out on a double homicide. I actually laughed out loud when they went to haunt him. I admit I was expecting more torture than him freaking out and being written up as unfit to stand trial - but the book abruptly ended.
There are a few things I didn’t get.. however, all in all, a great read, I finished it in a little over a day.

Hypocrisy -mysticism , wisdom and morality
There are times when things happen that we cannot explain or understand . The author starts out to verify that she has had mystical experiences throughout her life Picking up on spiritual vibes is a rare gift.. It can be both exhilarating and disturbing for the sensitive one. In the case of auto writing , the author became a vessel for someone else . She felt that it was not her , but the spirit of a significant person who trusted her .
It can be a very draining experience , but the urgency of the messages can spark determination in the “vessel.”Spirit speech is a lot faster than Earthly speech . Working on translating it to more manageable Earth speech takes a lot of effort . Some of the layered meaning can be lost because of the complexity of Spirit Speech .
The author has made a courageous and dedicated effort to bring as much of this beyond herself , which can be understood on the Earthly level and shared with others .
We are in very difficult times, which are harsh on our souls and our minds .,The destruction of life as we know it is a great possibility . She has been receiving urgent messages warning that humans continue bring destructive throughout history with very little change The spirit was ahead of his Earthly time and still was burdened with sorrow from his last life . The author feels that he wanted her to relay his messages for the sake of the Future of the world .

So many books so little time!
I enjoy my Kindle app so much! I use it everyday, even for my assigned reading for school. My problem is with the Kindle Vela which is accessible on the app as well. That’s on reason why I didn’t give this app five stars. On Kindle Vella, you can read stories in episodes or chapters. You pay coins for new episodes. Problem is that some authors don’t finish their stories. So here I’ve spend a lot of coins on a story that doesn’t proceed after say 49 episodes and another one that stoped at 360 episodes. It’s ridiculous that these authors can get a way with out finishing their stories after readers have spent coins to read their stories.
I also have Kindle Unlimited. That’s where you pay a monthly fee of $5 I think and you can check out books that you return later. I’ve noticed though, after using my sister’s actual Kindle, that books that are only offered to KU on the app are offered for both KU and for purchase in the Kindle. It bothers me because my KU library is usually filled to capacity (20 books I think) but I see a book I want to read immediately but I can’t purchase it on the app but I can if I had an actual Kindle.

Library a go go
Where were you 50 years ago when I started to buy hardcover books- walls now full, and gathering dust , unfortunately. It has been great fun collecting them, and I love looking at the titles and know the story right away. That was now. Supposed to be retired but still working. Doing more travel on public transport , and no boredom! Kindle to the rescue . I can flick through the library easily to pick up in the various stories open and allow time and stations to pass. Finish one. Start another without having to stuff another book into a loaded briefcase. Phone goes into a pocket and is within easy reach if I get stuck in a Reception . Feeling happier than looking a brick walls with incoherent paintings or blank ones. Good for client relationships- smiles come easily even though the late recipient has chewed my day. Very happy with my gift to myself.

Overall good but…
Kindle app is a great reader. However, it contains some extra features which would be AMAZING if they would develop them just a bit further so they could be put to more practical and more productive use. Kindle reader app for me, is more than just a reader like a little kindle device. It’s a productivity and learning tool and with a few little enhancements could be amazingly useful for that. Anyway, updated features are long overdue. 1. It would sure be nice if the highlights had major customizability (best) or at the very least, more color choices. As I’ve expanded my use of them, I have developed a system of highlights that act visual cues for myself for future reference. I have more ideas but the extremely limited choice of colors is frustrating that. 2. The flashcards feature works in a confusing and non-logical way. If I wanted to use the already existing ability to have highlights become flashcards, it only fills one side of the flashcard. It would be better if one could do something like allow me to choose to put adjoining highlights as a pair, the first on the front and the second second on the back. Then I could make flashcards from premises and conclusions in a book. I think that would get a lot of use from people like me who teach. 3. It would sure be helpful if I could select text across a page break with one selection rather than two separate selections. 4. Perhaps an option to read by vertically scrolling text would help with #3?

BRAND NEW PROBLEM
My new review: I’ve already given up on the kindle oasis and trying to have it read a book in a foreign language. Now I have a whole new problem. The dictionary has been malfunctioning; “ an error occurred ” keeps popping up when I press on the foreign word for the English translation. This happens a lot. In fact, it’s been happening over and over again every time I open up my Kindle Oasis. I’m getting very discouraged. I believe the problem is on your end. Please fix it soon. I’m taking away one star because of this problem. And I’m praying for a fix. Thank You.
My old review:
The only problem I have is with the kindle device itself because I can’t get it to read any other books except the books in my own language. I am studying French and Spanish but when I purchase a book to learn French Grammar (or Spanish), the kindle doesn’t speak in that language. It’s difficult to learn and understand if it won’t read the French or Spanish words in their own language. Why? I’m paying for the book. Why can’t I read it the way it’s supposed to be read? A bientôt !

Love my kindle
This is the best invention ever as I always have a book to read whenever I want! It helped pass the time on a flight to & from America. It kept me entertained on flight delays. So easy to download new books and return them with a click of a button. Introduced me to amazing new authors. I especially love the authors who write series.
There is a huge variety of writers and all genres so you will definitely find something just for you. I find it’s the best value for money and I don’t end up with hundreds of books that I have read.
If you don’t enjoy the book just return and head back to “discovery” and search the millions of books.
You won’t regret getting Kindle
