Now I can enjoy reading again.
I know how this feels. I don't have arthritis, but because my illness sometimes leaves me weak, we were looking at a nook before Christmas. Instead my husband bought me a Nexus 7 tablet, because he said it was rated well. It isn't very big, but I can read articles from different papers and magazines with just a flip of the page electronically before bed and I love that!
Congrats on your Kindle! Doesn't matter what size it is, as long as you are happy!
