I’ve got the voyage which is not cheap. I’ve also got the paperwhite. In my opinion there is little difference, the voyage is slightly crisper. But the difference in price doesn’t really justify the differences. I do like how you turn the pages on the voyage, but again it’s not exactly difficult on the paperwhite!
I much prefer the back lit ones because I read a lot at night and I don’t disturb anyone.
I don’t like the fire at all and it’s no good for reading in the sun. The glare is awful. You might as well use your iPad if you can cope with the glare.
The min back lit ones are fantastic for reading in the sun, no glare and crisp pages.
I’d personally always go for the paperwhite. Unless money is no option.
What two are you looking at? X
I was always curious as to what the difference was. I’ve never actually seen a Voyage to compare with my paperwhite.
Does it have clicking buttons? I Sometimes hold my Kindle in my left hand when reading and find it hard to turn the pages, i do find my self using my nose if i have something in my right hand hahahah!
It doesn’t have any buttons xx
I’ve got a paperwhite and I can’t fault it at all. Like Louise I read a lot at night and it’s great for that.
Not had much sun since I got it so I can’t comment on that at the minute, although if it’s anything like my previous kindle it will be great for reading in the sun x
I have paper white and i read outdoors I the sunshine, lovely kindle
I love my Fire but definitely not for use in the sun. I have an original Kindle with 3G and keyboard which is perfect. When I replace it I may go for a paper white so I can read without a light on but I have no issues with this one.
I have a fire HD….and read in the sun. I have a antiglare screen cover….it’s perfect 🙂
Anything but the fire is fine in the sunshine. But get a backlit if reading at night xx
I have paperwhite it is brill. Paperwhite is better as it has light. I am also new to kindle only had my paperwhite a couple of months but love it.
I have paperwhite love not tried in direct sunlight yet but if as good as normal kindle I’m happy X
I have a fire HD and read in the sunlight. You can purchase antiglare screen covers for it for a few pounds from ebay…..it now goes everywhere with me 🙂
I have kindle fire and it’s awful in the sun ? I have to turn the brightness right up and then the charge runs out by the end of the day. I’m in Turkey just now and having this problem – ok, I admit pretty much all I’m doing is sitting sunbathing and reading but it’s really annoying me. Following this post with interest as I definitely need a different one for next time ?
Brilliant advice ladies!!! I have a fire already but hopeless for reading outside.
Purchase a antiglare screen from ebay….I’m always using mine in the sunshine 🙂
I will definitely be doing that. I thought I would have to buy a whole new kindle (was thinking second hand). Many thanks x
i bought a bog standard kindle but not the paperwhite – as v expensive there is no back light so you cant read in the dark but i switch from my kindle fire to my other kindle and it keeps your book mark – i use the standard kindle for reading outside in the sun and fire for indoors 🙂
Tablets will never be good in sunlight. To much glare. I still say paperwhite. As fire is a tablet rather than reader. Whereas kindle paperwhite or touch is just a reading device
I’ve got the oasis and voyager can’t fault either! X
I’m a kindle addict and love my cheap paperwhite
I was a kindle virgin but love my paperwhite
Think I’ll go for the paperwhite. ….it’s only for holidays after all. Thank you ALL do yr help x
I’m going to order the screen thingy x
I love my fire…love that it doubles up as a tablet 🙂 x
I’m happy with it at home but it’s hopeless in the sunshine ? x
I was annoyed originally when I couldn’t read in the sun….just last week I was away and reading in the sunshine. The screen covers works wonders 🙂 x
Sounds perfect because otherwise I really like it. And you’ve saved me money buying a whole new kindle – think I’ll put it towards my next holiday ? x
Glad I could help. x
Paperwhite here too
I have the voyage and the fire…both ok but prefer the voyage page turning.
Paperwhite is excellent in the light
Paperwhite I love it lying on the beach no problem with sunlight
