Perfect for an avid reader who can't carry all their books with them

I purchased a Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader a few years ago. I had previous thought that "I could never give up holding a book." However, the Kindle has been a lifesaver on trips. It is small, light, and easy to take with me wherever I go. I purchased a case, so I could have the feeling of holding a book and to protect the tech. The Paperwhite looks like paper, but has a back light for when I am in darker spaces. I am able to download books from Amazon instantly as well as get books from my library delivered. In the end, it has saved me a ton of money as I am on several discount e-book newsletters and I can check out many books from the library no matter where I am. My only complaint is that the touch screen has a bit of lag time, but otherwise it is fantastic.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Twelve-year-old Edison Jones is a prodigy with a passion for technology and inventions. Paralyzed from the waist down since the age of five, he hasn’t let his disability slow him down. Then his world changes overnight when his grandfather, a billionaire tech company owner, decides to enroll him in a public school. Algorithms, quantum physics, and digital engineering are easy. Finding his way in the bewildering world of boys and girls his own age is quite another thing . . . the biggest challenge of his life.

Refreshing to see the use of electricity and technology in modern day magic, instead of the usual trope of magic interfering negatively with tech. (0 more)

Enter the world of the Urban Sorcerer. Gone are the days when magic was solely the realm of those connected with nature, new technologies have meant new magic. For where there is life, there is magic, and that magic has been born out of the everyday lives of those living there. From the summoning of mythical bin lorries to combat a giant litterbug, to the use of the symbols and regulations of the London Underground as a warding spell, this breathes a whole new, modern life into the world of magic.

There is a shadowy evil stalking London. Almost all the sorcerers there have been killed. Matthew Swift had been one of them, but now he's back, this time with with the angels of the telephone wires on his side. (Or so he hopes, the situation is... complicated.) And he's not about to go down again without a fight.
