Do I need a Kindle Paperwhite?

Postby PaulaO » Fri Dec 07, 2018 3:15 pm

I don't read many e-books, and when I do, it's on my iPad or Kindle Fire. Both are heavy for reading though. I'm toying with a Paperwhite. Anyone have reviews, bad or good?

I lost my Fire several years ago while traveling and was very happy to switch to a Paperwhite. It is so much easier on the eyes, and very light and easy to carry in a purse.

I love e-readers not only for books I purchase (of a certain kind--I am also a huge real book person, with 5000+ books in my home) but also for library books.

I got one for my Dad for his birthday a few years ago and he loves it!

I love love love mine! It's lightweight (which my ever-increasingly arthritic thumb really likes), and the screen doesn't have the glare of an iPad or Fire so it works at the beach and on the deck. I also read on my iPhone if I am traveling ultralight, but I don't enjoy reading on my iPad because it's heavy.
