e-books
I'm thinking to buying an e-book reading. Holding books open with one hand is getting difficult because of the tremors in my fingers. The pages keep flopping shut on me and I keep losing my place. Holding a device (or keeping in in my lap) might be much easier.

Had anyone here read books electronically? Do you have any recommendations for one reader versus another? :shrug:

How good is the selection of current books that are available?

1. I've actually read Animal Farm by ebook recently.
I have found a few sites that have classic literature and some are even audio. I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but here are links to the sites I've found.

Hope you're feeling better! :hug:
