I do not have an e-reader Kindle , but download the PDF versions onto a memory stick and put it in my laptop. The way I read these e-books is to seat myself in an armchair, put a cushion on top of my lap and the laptop on top of the cushion. I can then select the size of the page that I want, and read it in comfort, often with a glass of wine in the evening.
I keep a small card stuck on the laptop front and make a note of the page number that I have got to when I finish reading for the day. To return to the page, I just put the required page number in the box that appears to the top left and hit the carriage return button. Then hit it again to turn the page.
