Good eReader and free books?
The Subject line says it all. I am wanting to explore the world of electronic books with little or no cost.

Coolmom has it right AGAIN!! Library card, Tennessee READS, Overdrive, and a generic Android tablet. Walmart, Under $150 online!
BTW, we are very fortunate to have Tennessee READS available in most publid libraries in Tennessee. Many states do not have this valuable asset. I can, and do use it from wherever I have internet access.
I have a Kindle FIre that I love because it is backlit and I can read it in a dark room but you can't adjust the brightness enough for all conditions and you burn through the battery when you crank it up. Each buyer needs to consider where he or she will read the most. I love to read outside but my current lifestyle, read long work hours, means reading inside. I will get an e-ink of some sort when I have time to read outside more.
I think battery life is one of the shortcomings of the Kindle Fire. Both my older grandkids have one, and I've noticed the battery life is not very good. One of the compromises to keep the weight down, I suppose.
My Samsung tablet will go for at least 2 days of my normal use. But I rarely use it with the brightness turned way up.
I agree that for solely outdoor reading, a Kindle Paperwhite is probably the best choice. But I don't do a lot of outdoor reading, so not an issue for me.
