I bought a Paperwhite because it’s just for reading. I don’t want or need other distractions like apps, games, and internet access when I’m reading, that’s what my phone is for lol
I got the Oasis and it was the best decision for me. It had all the perks I wanted. I got my husband and I fire tablets when they first came out and they are also great.
@Jill I suggest the current Paperwhite. It has an expanded storage and is waterproof. The screen also lays flat against the bezels vs sunken, which collects grime.
Any paperwhite is good – I just got the newest one & it is not much different than my older one. Just make sure it is backlit. If you get the one with the advertisements which I always do as cheaper – it’s no big deal – I never notice them. Both of mine are 6”. I bought a new one to pass my old one on to my daughter.
@Jill ok so I also use a lot of audiobooks when I drive and it’s the most wonderful thing because say I’m getting to a really good part in the book I’m reading and I also have the audio version. I can bookmark it in my kindle. And once I start the audiobook it will automatically sync up to where I left off in the book. It’s a huge lifesaver. So I do t have to spend 20 minutes trying to figure out where I was at. And also when I stop listening to the audiobook and go back to reading, the page will automatically sync up to where I last left off in the audio.
My Kindle Fire 8 is awesome. Great ereader and nice basic tablet rolled into one 🙂
@Kylie sweet! I’ll look into that. Thanks ?

Paperwhite because the e-ink is gorgeous
I have the Paperwhite. It puts less strain on your eyes. I love it.
Paperwhite, the e-ink is awesome, they last forever, pretty basic, small and light
The day I lost my paperwhite was the day the music died. Get the paperwhite.
My paperwhite is the best gift I’ve ever received.

@Ami hmm, I’m not familiar with the Oasis, but I will look into it for sure. Thank you!
I love my Oasis! The page turn buttons are worth every penny, hands down
And that back light lol
I love my Paperwhite. Great for outdoor reading and I don’t get distracted by all the apps you can have on a fire
Ok, so with the Paperwhite…which generation? 6″ or bigger?

Paperwhite if it’s just for reading, Fire if it’s for a tablet too.
Paperwhite! No distractions, it’s just for reading. The lighted screen is super convenient.
Love my new paper white and its water resistant which means I no longer have to put my Kindle into a ziplock bag while floating in the pool ?
@Kimberly even more reason!
I have the kindle fire hd8 and I love it
Oasis. So light weight. Back light. Whispersync. Waterproof.
@Ayla what is this “Whispersync” you speak of??
