I also read on Kindle 99% of the time. But some books are not available in Kindle format, unfortunately. I recently read a paper book of almost 600 pages and small print. It was a struggle in the beginning but then I got use to it. The book was well worth it. I have half a dozen books that I hope some day will be published in Kindle format.
