I got it free from Verizon, when I changed the account from my Dad's name to mine. Mom loves it. I download 3 digital books from the library to the Tablet, she reads them it a few weeks and then I download more books.

It's much better for me also, because I don't have to order the books in large print and then take a trip to the library to pick them up and then return them.
