It would mean moving from iBookstore to the Kindle book store and probably a MiFi to use with it. I really don&#8217;t want to make the change, I really like the iBookstore and have read 3 or 4 books via the iBooks App. The iPhone is just to small a screen to spend an hour or more reading.\u00a0 A Kindle doesn&#8217;t have enough features for me and I really am not interested in a Kindle Fire.<\/p>\n<p>On top of all that, I have hundreds of Apps for iOS, Movies and TV Shows from iTunes, and other things that I have come to rely on and prefer.
