Kindle.

Love , love , love my Kindle.
Have an "Oasis" with a nice leather cover. I went for the biggest I could get - think it's about 6 and a half inches. Means you don't have to turn the pages so often. Very easy to set up ( says she who got her daughter to do it ! ) and too easy to keep buying books. Can thoroughly recommend. Only downside is bookshops not surviving so I do buy a book occasionally.

The super fast charging cable is a bonus.

I've recently bought a Kindle Paperwhite. I couldn't really see why there was such a large difference in price between it and the Oasis.
I only use it for reading books and like to keep it special for that. I splashed out on a nice cover. Reading is my treat.
Have a tablet and phone for other stuff.

I have a Kindle fire. Love it. Loads of books on line also

I like the paper white best for reading ?

I have both and hate them equally. Now thrown in a drawer never to see the light of day again.
Sorry Bellab

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and use it just for reading books. I look for books on offer at around a pound each and often find a new author I really enjoy, or cheap reads from more well known authors. A good thing to know is that if you have recently downloaded a book and find you really aren't enjoying, Amazon will refund you if it is inside a particular time frame. Like OP, I also feel guilty about bookshops losing revenue, so buy books from time to time. There is nothing like reading a proper book I must admit, but kindle is better for reading in bed,or popping into a bag to take on holiday.

I generally read on my ipad with the Kindle app but I have the paper white. It is brilliant for reading in bright sunlight.

I have a paper white. I loved it but unfortunately my vision is deteriorating and I now listen to audiobooks.

I love my Kindle

Authors still get a (small) royalty from books sold in Kindle versions. Doesn't help bookshops though.

I’ve got a Paperwhite. I love it esp for reading in bed, as you can turn out the light and not disturb a sleeping partner. I still read physical books, though. There’s room in my life for both.

Another paper white owner here. Can still read outside because of the 'no glare' screen. I love it!

I used to have a Kindle Fire but found I didn't really use it for anything but reading as I have other devices for everything else.

I have a kindle paper white, I love it now did take some getting used to.

I have had a kindle for the past 10 years, not sure how it lasted so long because it was dropped quite a few times but recently the battery was for ever running out, it has now been retired (but still working) and I have bought myself another, basic backlit kindle. Would not be without it, lightweight, small so fits into a modest sized bag and is very portable.

And another Paperwhite owner here. I love real books, but as someone else has said, the Kindle is perfect for reading in bed as it's so much lighter and you don't need to disturb anyone by having a light on. Plus, I'm a very fast reader, so it's ideal for taking on holiday, as I have as many books as I want right at my fingertips without having to worry about the weight.

My son has a Kindle paperwhite. He really likes it. It has a back light so that you can read in all light conditions.
Do you really need a Kindle? I have the Kindle app on my Samsung tablet. I'm currently reading a Terry Pratchett book on it. If you have a tablet already in my opinion there is really no reason to buy another device .

I had a very old Kindle and decided to upgrade it to a Paperwhite as the battery didn't hold a charge for long.

However, I do prefer the old one as I found it more controllable with buttons to click. The new one is a touch screen one ie swipe to turn the page etc and it seems to have a mind of its own.

The proper leather cover, which cost about £35, felt rough and was not pleasant to use so I exchanged it for a cheaper flip style cover.

I'm reading a thick paperback which someone lent me at the moment and it seems really heavy compared to the Kindle.

Paperwhite.. Love it, love it.
Had it for years now, wouldn't be without it.
Read a "normal" book recently, so heavy and my wrist objected strongly!

The Kindle is brilliant for travellers, you don’t have to lug heavy books around. Also, if you have visual problems, you can blow the text up really large. My DH had it set up so there were only a few words per page.
I find the downsides are with books with footnotes, diagrams, pictures and maps. Better in an actual book, especially with the footnotes where you can easily flip to the back or chapter end to see them. I tend to keep the Kindle for fiction and patronise a bookshop for the rest. I’m referring to my old original Kindle here, I don’t know whether the newer models are better.
I prefer the Kindle to my iPad as my Kindle isn’t backlit and is kinder to my migraine prone brain.

My Paperwhite is about eight years old now and needs re-charging quite frequently. I'd like to replace it sooner rather than later. I appreciate the fact that I can enlarge the font. Some print books are hard to read because of small print and cramped line spacing. I picked up my old copy of Mansfield Park recently and wondered how I ever managed to read it - but then I was in my teens or early 20s.

DH and I both have Paperwhite Kindles, his is more modern than mine. I tend to mainly read books when at home but the Kindle is great for travelling and holidays. DH will only ever read on Kindle.

I would recommend the Paperwhite as it can be read in direct sunlight and the print can be made as large as you feel comfortable with.

My Paperwhite is great. I can listen to audiobooks on it too. I also have the app on my phone for a quick read if I’m waiting unexpectedly.
There are still some books you just can’t get as ebooks, so I have to buy those occasionally.

I love my kindle paper white - for its portability (slips easily into my small handbag), for reading in bed and for when I travel. I look for kindle book deals, but also love it when I get an Amazon voucher fir birthday or Xmas and treat myself to something I might otherwise think too expensive!. I have hundreds of paperbacks at home but find paper books quite heavy to hold now!
