before we went away I went and had a look at Kindles and Kobos - the young bloke in JB HiFi  told me that for only a little bit more I should buy an ipad and get the 'books' app and do that instead -

I thought oh no it's not just a little bit more and then remembered I have the 'books' app on my iphone and I have been happily reading books on that - it's even smaller than a kindle and didn't cost me any more money.

It's great - I have been taking MIL to some of her radiation appointments and Specialist appointments and I can just read my book or my emails or play words with friends or bid on something on ebay all with the one device 🙂
