I’m thinking about getting one for my nine year old. He loves sci-fi and adventure books and gets frustrated that the school library doesn’t have the books he wants to read. I was planning on taking him to a bigger central library but then it struck me a kindle might be the answer to quick access to books his desperate to read.

My thoughts are ... is this going to get blinking expensive very quickly or is there a way to get books without it costing £2.99 each time? Also when you get the book do you get the pictures that accompany the book or text only?

There are free books on Amazon and £1 deals etc to look out for
You can also sign up to Oxford owl that has some free books he’s like

Yes to pictures

You can also get audio books as a different choice

Lots of libraries have apps for Kindle, I am a member of three so have a constant supply of free books available!

Yes to this, but you may wish to check with your library as my libraries app isn't compatible with all kindles and has to be read through the libby/overdrive app. You can also get an amazon prime kindle reading subscription letting you read for x amount per month.

You can get Libby on the Kindle, you have to do it through an online store as opposed to the Amazon store but it works just fine Smile
