To Kindle or not to Kindle?

Wouldnt be without my paperwhite kindle.
I love my books,but,my kindle is an anytime,any place,any where accessory,can download a book in seconds.
Kindle unlimited allows me this freedom for the price of one book,I can have many.

DH and I both have Paper White Kindles. He reads only on his Kindle. I prefer real books when at home but take my Kindle when travelling as far easier to transport.
I would totally recommend one.

Another paper white fan . I love my kindle and I’m on my third . I read in bed and it means I don’t disturb my dh.
And it’s great to have loads of books to read on holiday and not have to worry about excess baggage.
I do occasionally read a book it’s normally ones I get from the charity shop .

I love real books but have over 300 books on my kindle paperwhite so a good space saver! Also much easier to read in bed and while travelling.

Definitely recommend one

Definitely recommend a paperwhite. I'm on my third one now (the charging port seems to be very delicate. I like being able to read one handed whilst sipping my drink, and that I can read it in bright sunlight, as it is backlit.

I also like being able to carry literally hundreds of books around with me, and not having to consider taking multiple books on holiday in case I finish one and don't have another to hand.

It's not the same as holding and reading a real book, but the convenience outweighs any cons for me.

I prefer books, but if I want to read a book on a screen I do it on my iPad, which works well.

I too was of the love real books brigade. My future SiL convinced me to buy a Kindle paperwhite, he was so right that was about 10 years ago..
The best things I have ever spent, my money on, I totally couldn't be without my paperwhite.
I still have some "real" books, but after using a paperwhite they feel so heavy and awkward.
Cheap to download, agree you read books that are different, fantastic for traveling easy to use.
Just love mine.

Another vote for the Kindle Paperwhite. I love mine and have had it for a number of years. I often wake during the night and read, so with a kindle my OH isn’t disturbed, as there is no need to turn on the bedside light. Perfect when travelling too. I wouldn’t be without it.

A kindle definitely if you going to be travelling. I am on my second one, first one lasted for years, not a paper white though. I would not be without it. You can still buy, borrow & read books as well, I still do. Some books, gardening, cookery, those with lots of photo's I do not like to view on my kindle and prefer those still in book form. Best of both worlds.

Totally agree with Aveline. I still love ‘proper’ books but find my Kindle much easier to manage in bed, and it really comes into its own when travelling.
If you do decide on one, make sure you download the Book Bub app. It offers much-reduced books on a daily basis which you can download to Kindle. I have come across many books I may not have come across this way.

Look at kindle unlimited. £9 a month and you can choose from thousands of books, can borrow up to 20 at a time.

Lots of people say they prefer real books (and it’s each to their own as far as I’m concerned) but I love my kindle - it’s got loads to read on it as I seem to add books on a regular basis. It’s light and easy to slip in a bag so I’m never without something to read.

I love my Kindle. I have a paper white. I like the way it can be adjusted to suit the font, size, boldness, spacing etc. This suits me as I really enjoy quite old books whose format can vary a lot.
