Why should you get a Kindle:

• Kindle allows you to carry an entire library in a lightweight device, making it perfect for travel and on-the-go reading.

• You can easily adjust font size, font style, brightness, and even switch to dark mode for a customized reading experience.

• With a built-in dictionary, the Kindle makes it simple to look up unfamiliar words. The Vocabulary Builder feature helps you track new words for later reference.

• Many Kindle models come with adjustable built-in lighting, allowing you to read comfortably in the dark without needing an external light source.
