Fine in what sense? It's legible? It would be. But your eyes will feel it if you're staring at a single light source for reading.

Using a computer is not reading as we're constantly looking around, away etc. This isn't akin to "reading". If that were the case then we've always had e-readers - called laptops.

e-ink is where it's at. And above everything for me, is it's battery life and reading it outside.

Because your questions would try the patience of a saint.

Right, pay attention.

They are free and legal to download

They are in (amongst others) Kindle format

I don't deny that for some people wireless is better I was just replying to the inference that if you didn't have it you were stuck in the past - I have no use for wireless (no desire to use my laptop on the sofa) so I don't have it, if a use comes up I will just swap my Ethernet only router for one with wireless as well.

Contrary to urban myth its not a sex manual in fact is a very cultured piece of writing, I doubt its your type of book apart from the pictures perhaps.

Kama..... the ancient Indian God of all things pleasurable... including erotic sex.

Sutra..... means short book.

Seriously - just stop marvelling / picking fault with the Kindle or asking the most ridiculous of questions (take a screenshot...) and just read a normal book on it.

If you want all the fancy stuff internet-ty / computer like stuff, use your phone or a PC.

Read before you comment.

I think you are a bit of a wind up merchant?
