I would really like a Kindle for Christmas, but I’m not sure if it’s good for a middle schoolar. Do they even have books for my age group? Is it too pricey for me? Would i be allowed to use it during school?
Thx 4 the help!

Amazon has over 4,000 Kindle books categorized as “children’s fiction”. The #1 seller in that category is “Twilight”. I would look at the categories and see if there are a lot of books you would read there (I included a tinyurl to this page in the source info).
If you read a LOT, and you like to carry books around with you, the Kindle would be great. If you also tend to like to keep your books once you’ve read them, mark up your books, and dog ear them, then the Kindle is also good for you.
If you are allowed to read in school, I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t let you use it. Although, you may want to ask your school. They may not understand what it is exactly, and think it’s a video game or a computer.
It is kind of pricey though, so be careful that you don’t lose it or drop it. That’s one of the drawbacks – if you lose or destroy a book, it’s not that big a deal. A Kindle, however, is worth a lot more. For that reason, I’d be a little cautious about bringing it to school.
