I'm thinking about buying either a Fire or Paper-white. I really want to read more this winter
Re: Kindle
I have one and I LOVE it! Mine is almost 2 years old so in the current models, I have the Kindle with the keyboard.
I guess my reservation with the paperwhite & Fire (just like anything that is backlit, like a laptop, iPad, etc.) is that there's some evidence that a lighted screen is a lot harder for your eyes to read over time. You know, like it's much easier to read for an hour or two from a book than a computer screen. I've never seen a paperwhite in person and I don't know for sure if the screen is exactly like a regular lighted screen, but just something to keep in mind I guess.
Blessing & a curse...it can get a little pricey, but there are ways to get books for cheaper. Last year I read almost 50 books, and this year I'll read about 33, since a lot of them I've read this year are fantasy novels that are almost 1000 pages each.
If you end up getting one, I highly recommend using Goodreads to keep track of books you've read, and get suggestions for ones to read. If you get it, make a post about Goodreads since there are a few of us on here you can add as friends =]
I started off witth the wifi old school Kindle, and loved it. I loved everything about it. It fit in my purse, and I could take it anywhere, and I'm pretty sure it's the reason H married me (he was afraid I'd marry my kindle if he didn't step it up!)
H got me the Fire for Christmas last year, and I love that, too. I gave my old kindle to my mom, and because they are both attached to H's amazon account, any books i download are automatically sent to that kindle also.
I was a little concerned about the backlight on the Fire, but haven't had any issues with it yet. I have read plenty in sunlight, and haven't had a problem. I may have to change the angle I'm holding it at slightly, but not enough to cause me any frustration or anything.
I like having the apps on the FIre, also. I definitely use it mostly to read, but it's fun to have the movies/apps available, too.
Also, it comes with a year of Amazon Prime, I believe.. or at least it used to?
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
