the copper pans that I saw on a commercial. Never used it. How about you?

I use Kindle on my phone instead because it's more convenient.

including a bunch I knew hubby would like. The benefit was that I got used to using an e-reader then when I got an iPad that was that.
I can download books from the Public Library, and I am a big fan of Gutenberg.org free books. When I want to buy real printed-on-paper books, I frequently do so from Amazon, but I was always mistrustful of the reality of e-books, and was proven right recently when the God of All Macs snuck into my e-library function one night and emptied nearly all of it to recover unused space.
The good news is that my very oldest iPad is now incapable of being upgraded any more, with or without my permission (according to hubby, my in-house tech support) so all my oldest and most favorite e-books are safe.
As for the Kindle, it has gotten a whole new life, as hubby has discovered free sources for chess games, math games, and other esoterica.
