I can’t read for long periods of time on a screen like a phone or iPad. The kindle paper white has a totally different screen that is super easy on the eyes.
I have the kindle app on my phone, 2 iPads, my computer and I have a paperwhite kindle. I can switch between any of them and it goes to the last page you read. Also have audible on all to.
I love that the paper white has the textured screen and the lighting that shines downward onto the screen instead of outward like on a cellphone or an iPad. It reduces eye strain greatly. I also love the battery. I’m currently on a 3 week visit back home at my parents and I read a good part of the 20 hour drive out here and I’ve read many night since then, and plan to read the drive back home and I probably won’t have to charge until I get back to our house, if that. It’s very convenient!
Depends on where you want to read. I read outdoors and iPhone/iPad cannot deal with our temperatures and in the sun you have the glare that makes is hard to read. So outdoors it’s paper or my Kindle (NOT a kindle fire, which is a tablet and not en e-ink ereader ) Indoors I like the iPad .. it has color, a sharper image and is faster than the kindle so indoors it’s paper or iPhone/iPad.
I used to read on my ipad with the kindle app. My husband got me a paperwhite and it’s so much better, for all the reasons listed by others. I read on my phone if I’m out & about-at a dr office, grocery store, etc but the paperwhite is my favorite.
I love my Kindle 10. Doesn’t have the long battery life the paper white has, but I can watch my movies and search the web and Facebook among other sites with it.
I went from the Kindle Fire to the Kindle Paperwhite. I needed something less straining on my eyes and the lighting on the Paperwhite is like you are reading an actual book. It has helped a lot.
@Dorine I prodominently read paperbacks, but if I do ever buy a book online it has to be the paperwhite, you have the option for natural or artificial light, connect to your goodreads, buy books through it when connected to an Internet connection, what more could you want??♀️
I prefer the Kindle app on my iPad. I use my iPad for so many things. Much more versatile. I also have Scribd (books) and Texture (magazines) on there too for reading.
Paper white!! I was the girl who said oh I love the feel of a book .. can’t read on the kindle(app) … I got a paper white at Christmas and have read more books and really enjoy it. .. defo better as no glare ..
@Laurie I was always put off by large books.. like pillars of the earth and luminosity .. however reading on the kindle makes it easier.. I’ve been missing out on some great reads! My to be read pole is so big I still read paper books .. but I won’t be buying any more :))
Thank you everyone for all your comments I think I will get the paper white. I do look at screens a lot and use my iPad a lot and I do find it does hurt my eyes and I am easily distracted by my messages etc. I will treat myself ??
I liked my paperwhite when I had it, but I accidentally left it in the seat back of an airplane. Lessons learned that day….. That was a couple of years ago. I never replaced it because frankly I like just accessing on my iPhone the best. I’ll use my iPad mini as a backup.. but my phone fits in my hand like a glove…
At night I just turn my iPhone into night mode so that the light doesn’t bother me.
Paper white. Battery is amazing, no eye strain I’ve deleted kindle app on iPad

What’s your preference? Do you like reading off a computer screen, or off of a paper-like surface? That should answer your question.

Depends. If you already have an iPad, then get the app. Otherwise, the paper white
I prefer to read on my tablet… And I have both apps on my tablet nook and kindle and I go back and forth.
Love my Paperwhite. I had the app on my iPad, never used it. I use the Paperwhite every day!
I read on my iPad and use the kindle app or books app for ipad.
I love my paper white. I will read on my iPhone or iPad in a pinch if I don’t have my kindle. But I far prefer the kindle, so much easier on my eye

@Charley.. that the same for every e-ink reader .. paperwhite, Oasis, Kobo..
@Dorine I prodominently read paperbacks, but if I do ever buy a book online it has to be the paperwhite, you have the option for natural or artificial light, connect to your goodreads, buy books through it when connected to an Internet connection, what more could you want??♀️
@Charley.. what you are describing is true for every e-ink ereader..
@Dorine just my opinion?

Paper white Kindle is so light to hold
for reading only-paper white is much easier on the eyes and of course much better in sunlight
i mean, if you can get an ipad instead it’s a much different product

@Vicki also my reason to get paperwhite.. so I don’t accidentally just sit on Facebook or play candy crush Saga instead of reading lol
@Laura yes I am sure it will cut down my screen time which is a positive x
Paper white ! Can’t read outside on iPad !
Paper white. Love Love.
I buy books on my app on my phone because it’s colour screen, but prefer reading on paperwhite as my eyes hurt looking at phone/tablet screen too long
100% Paper white

I JUST asked this question, because I was using my iPad…listened to everyone here and bought a paperwhite. i will NEVER go back!
Paper white cause it’s got a backlight so you can read at night without lights on and also read in the sun.
Love my Paperwhite, best thing I’ve ever bought!
Kindle app on my iPad mini or iPhone!

Kindle paper white for me. My iPad is uncomfortable to hold and my phone too small over time. The kindle feels the closest thing to a book to me.
