[NJTechDiv] Kindle books

[Laurie Neidhart]

Hey Tracy and everybody and then be!!! I just got the Kindle app, please keep this in the group I share it with my sister. She does the paperwork and I do the rest. I use my AL EXA app and my Amazon ELEX a machine to read my kindle books. I find it very very difficult even with the boys Daniel to use the app, I’m doing better than I used to. But to get the books I want to download, sometimes you only get samples, sometimes you don’t know if they cost anything please help if you get a chance. Please and thank you!!!
