Are you struggling to make reading a habit? My evenings used to be dominated by endless scrolling on my phone, and honestly, it was taking a toll on my sleep quality and mental well-being. Then came the Kindle Paperwhite into my life, and if it hasn't completely changed my life, it's definitely transformed my evenings and improved my sleep.
As an iPad user, I was initially skeptical. I had heard people rave about how 'magical' the Kindle experience is and how it can make you read more, but I had my doubts... So here are my 5 cents in case you have doubts too!

Kindle totally changed my reading habits, as with iPad I haven’t had a chance to complete a book it is pain in the eye and a lot of distractions 😅, but with kindle I can easily finish 3 books a week !! That game change for me

I owned a paper white years ago and I miss it. I recently got rid of my Fire HD 10 and traded it for a new paper white. Reading on digital electronic devices is so distracting with notifications. I know it is worth the money.

Great review. I love my kindle voyage and debating swapping out for a paper white for the size and warmth features but regardless of the model, kindle is certainly a more pleasant reading experience especially when your eyes start to go.

I am not sure why everyone seems to treat Kindle as either/or, I think we are blessed these days with options. When I am driving 10 hrs south to visit family 3 or 4 times per year, nothing beats a good book on audible to make the hours fly by. When it is late at night or when on vacation or when reading unfamiliar subjects where looking up words regularly or reading large uncomfortable to hold books like War and Peace a Kindle is perfect. When reading anything that may contain maps or footnotes or charts and graphs I much prefer a physical book. Thank heavens I do not have to choose only one.

Thank you for this review. I could read kindle on my Ipad pro or iphone but to many distractions and the light kills me. Also I have 2 little kids, my books get trashed in seconds in their hands! Also at night using a light wont let my wife sleep. So looks like Kindle is a win. Gonna get the paperwhite on prime day like in 5 days

May I ask: Do you use a screen shield protector? I heard that the newest kindle generation is more sensitive concerning scratches than previous generations

about the convenience of ebooks I say they aren't anymore cheap as before ( at least in Italy) all depends of your country

My daughter was actually reading on her iPad earlier and the distractions were making her so mad. Yes there is do not disturb mode but then she forgets to turn that off. I am currently shopping for a Kindle Paperwhite Kids edition.

The only thing that I find irritating in reading on iPad is that Amazon doesn’t let us make purchases on the iPad app. Don’t know why

It's because Apple and Google wanted to take a percentage (I think it was 30%) of every book sold through the app. But since that's about the entirety of Amazon's profit margin on a book they decided to get rid of the feature instead and just have us purchase through a web browser. I now have the web browser kindle store saved as an icon on my phone screen so I can easily browse books when I want :)

@@Pawtastic Oh, that makes sense, yes, thank you for explaining it! I always get the sample first, so I usually send the sample from my phone app to Kindle, and then I can get it from there :)

Question. Are e-books really more affordable than phisycal books on a long term basis? I'm considering getting a Paperwhite❤️

@chancesareshewears 5 ай бұрын

I dunno the white text on black background is pretty easy om the eyes. So, tablets aren't bad except they have distractions with so many other possibilities. I get it, but tablets and even certain smartphones are great too.

I am also a bookworm. I can confidently say that kindle is simply the best device for book lovers.

It’s the opposite for me, iPad i s really smooth while the constant flickering in kindle while page turning is a real deterrent

@the_organized_mess 9 ай бұрын

My bf prefers his iPad mini too! But just fyi, or to anyone who might be reading this: the page flickering can be disabled by going into Settings > Reading Options > Page Refresh - off. I always have it off myself!

kindle is good...people should not be reading during vacation. You should be at the moment, watch around walk around, meet look weird body form, do not escape to into a different world reading books....you are not enjoying the now time. Read it on the bed or in the house, the normal environment. Reading during vacation is a sign of addiction, any addiction is not fine...work on it peeps. luv

How is reading on holiday a sign of addiction? I don’t read on holiday but I really don’t get that comment. If you are sitting at the beach on holiday which I personally hate I can understand how you would get your kindle out as you’re just sat at a beach relaxing and enjoying the weather. This lady didn’t strike me that she was necessarily spending the whole holiday reading. Gosh can we just stop judging people.
