      It was a good article. I bet if you think really hard you will see the irony this reader found with an Amazon-free Kindle… Purchased from Amazon.

        My SO does, and it totally works.

        That said, there are more options than Kindle. The Kobo eReader recently got a big revamp, and is now in many ways better than Kindle. And it works directly with library books (at least in the US, not sure about other countries).
