The Paperwhite feels different but I dont like reading any other screens or my iPad/phone – but will reluctantly read in short bursts off my phone if it’s all I have with me.
If you get an actual Kindle eReader (Touch, Paperwhite, Voyager, Oasis). Any Kindle Fire model is basically an Amazon-oriented tablet, similar to an iPad or Samsung Tab.
I have a kindle fire and don’t really like it. It hurts my eyes after using it for a bit. I have read a book on my sisters paper white. The paper what is what I liked. If I were to get another kindle I would get a paper white.
I am also trying to read a regular book at the moment. I find real books very frustrating. I have to move my hand to turn the page. I can not adjust the size, or font of the type. I can’t even pick my preferred page color. It is a challenge. ?
Yes completely. Go for a Paperwhite rather than a kindle Fire. Paperwhites have a different kind of screen and it’s not like reading on a computer at all.
Yes, ereaders are totally different from reading ‘on screen’. They’re made for just that purpose. Kindle is great because you can download your books on it directly.
Yes paper white (new one was just announced too) is like reading from a book. No glare looks just like a book page it really is the best of both worlds
@Sumaya yep the new one is waterproof and has bigger storage for audio books. Before this new version the Oasis could only do that and it is still $100 more than the new paperwhite
Much different
much xx
Try the app on your phone
For me it is different.

The Paperwhite is! The tablets like iPad or Fire etc are just like reading on a computer screen or phone.
Yes!!!!
Yes, Paperwhite is made for reading so it’s easy on your eyes. A computer or tablet really aren’t so bother many people.
Very different. I have a Kindle HD8 that I love.

Yes!! Very different. The kindle ereaders make it as close to reading an actual book as possible

I’m more comfortable reading while I’m in bed and I can do that with my e-reader.
Much different. Love my Kindle
How about reading on your cell phone?
I asked the question wrong. I should’ve said “Is it glare-free?”
@Sumaya sure! Night mode
Paperwhite is glare free.
Yes!
And this is how pages get turned upon swiping!
Kindle Paperwhite is great!! I love real books, but a kindle is great because you have access to books almost immediately.

Even the kindle app now has the option for black backgrounds and white letters. Much easier on the eyes.
Yes
Yes very different
I still prefer a paper book
Yes
I love my Kindle Fire and reading on my phone.
kindle’s better than the computer (and more convenient) but neither are as good as a real book. I use my kindle, but only as a back up.
Extremely different. Can’t stand reading on the computer, but I have 4 kindles.
I’m glad I’m not the only one with multiple ereaders I have 3nooks and 2 kindle paperwhite
Same!
Why?
It’s portable, for starters. Screen is easier to view. Set size of type. Looks up words with one touch. Holds thousands books and mags

The kindle that’s waterproof?

Yes
Definitely. I wouldn’t want to hold my computer above my head while I was lying in bed…
I don’t much care for reading on the computer or my iPad but I do like my paperwhite
Same!
Absolutely!
Yes!
