Definitely paperwhite, you will be able to read in the dark
I’ve had both and definitely prefer the paperwhite ?

Paperwhite all the way
That’s what my friend said but I’m having SUCH a hard time paying $100 for a reader!
the advantage is having a back light. I have a kindle voyage and i love it.

Paperwhite. Had mine 3 years and love it x
Can you read the Paperwhite in bright sunlight?
Yes
You can switch off the light and it becomes like the basic kindle so you get the best of both worlds with the paperwhite
I have the regular Kindle and definitely recommend getting the Paperwhite if you can. Resolution will be better and you can read in the dark.
Paperwhite all the way. They are brilliant !
I have a fire and paperwhite and I prefer the paperwhite to read
I vote for the Paperwhite too.
I have the original kindle and I would upgrade to paperwhite.
Paper white love it
Paperwhite def.
yes….
Paperwhite is brilliant. I have had both
Paperwhite is better because its screen doesn’t produce blue light, while other regular tablets do. The worst enemies of reading from an electronic device is the blue light effect!
Paperwhite.

Paperwhite, especially if you would like to read In The dark.

Paperwhite. I had used the ‘original’ Kindle and finally got the Paperwhite. It is smaller, easier to use, and the lighting is wonderful.
i am same, swapped from original kindle and its great!
Me too x
Paperwhite. You can read in the sun and in the dark and don’t have the glare of a tablet screen.
I asked this at Christmas, overwhelming majority said paperwhite. I had an original kindle and the paperwhite is a different class.
Kindle paperwhite
Paperwhite, hands down. Buy cheaper, buy twice! An item like that, you want to get the best out of it. I’m never going to relinquish hard copy books, a lifetime with them and there really is no substitute for me, but a Paperwhite comes very close and storage-wise wins. The difference in reading on a Paperwhite and tablet is hugely different, it’s top lit, not back-lit and thus anti glare and easier on the eyes.
Paperwhite.
No contest. Paperwhite is the way to go. Had mine nearly 4 years and love it. I use it regularly. Will buy another one if this one ever gives up. xx
I believe paper weight although I am happy with my old one
Paperwhite for me
Paperwhite all the way!
The paper white is brilliant as it has a back light
Paperwhite.

Paperwhite. With the built in light you can read it anywhere. There’s no glare on the screen in the sun either.x
Paperwhite, best one I’ve ever had
Def a paperwhite
Paperwhite definitely
If you want to be able to read outdoors you need the paperwhite. I can’t use my fire, iPad or kindle outside so back to paperwhite for me

Paperwhite is life
Paperwhite – you can read in the dark as it’s backlit
I have a very old kindle which I love. Had a lovely surprise present of a paperwhite.
Have yet to change over as being a complete technophobe it scares me.

Paperwhite for sure.
Paperwhite for reading in the dark.

I still have the original keyboard one & my Nexus 7 xxx
I had an original kindle, nice, but my current paperwhite is better ! Great for trips away, no heavy books to carry?
I have the paperwhite and love it. If you have audio books, this will not play them.
Paperwhite x
I have a Voyage, very happy about it.
I had the Fire but ended up buying the Paperwhite and I love it.
i have both, but prefer the Paperwhite as I can read at night without having to have the light on because of the back light. Great in bright sunlight as well. I use it extensively for travelling, so much easier on the eyes, I wear glasses as well. No problem. Go for it and enjoy!
Between my tablets where I read Kindle books, first is my iPad, then my iPhone, my Amazon Fire, my Nexus 7 and finally, but rarely, my second generation Kindle.
Preferably a kindle. Haven’t got a paperwhite
Book
I had the standard kindle and upgraded to the paperwhite. I love it.
Love my Kindle with keyboard . Can go online anywhere.
I have a kindle paperwhite and love it
Paperwhite, hands down. You can read outside without any glare just like a book.
Paperwhite.
Paperwhite
Paper white definitely i have one, but still love a hard back book to hold!
I use my Kindle but there’s nothing like the feel of a book so I still read actual books!
Kindle Paperwhite, as you can read in the dark
Paperwhite – reliable, adjustable light, adjustable font. Great!
I have several and love them all
The Paperwhite is great!
I have been using paperwhite for the last six years. It is very good.
Paper white
Kindle paper white, I had regular and it was a pain when I tried to read at night without waking my husband. Also, plane rides! I tried to convince myself a booklight would work but it was a huge pain.
Paperwhite imo … wait until its on sale, which it is often x
Kindle paperwhite! Hands down!
I have a paperwhite and a fire.. love my fire
Kindle fire for me
Paper white
Paperwhite, much better than an ordinary kindle!
Paperwhite for reading at night and outside in bright sunlight.
I have a paperwhite and love it. Apparently it is the best one even though there is a more expensive one ?
Paperwhite most definately. You’ll just end up regretting you bought an ordinary one ?
Paperwhite-it’s a nicer read and it doesn’t have a blue screen so it won’t stop you sleeping if you read in bed ?
Paperwhite – you can read it outside in bright sunshine, or underneath the duvet in total darkness. Can’t fault it.
Paperwhite 🙂
I’ve got a regular Kindle with a cover with an integrated light that works off the battery. When it eventually dies, I will buy myself a Paperwhite – my husband has one and it’s great!
Having always been very ambivalent towards the Kindle’s virtues, I am a total convert now I have my Paperwhite. It’s great for night reading – doesn’t even disturb my husband who insists on a pitch-black bedroom before going to sleep.
Paperwhite every time
Paper white, love mine and have 100’s of books on it …..free from Bookbub. Enjoy x
Thinking in another one, when the battery is low, you jump to the other and not interrupt your reading…
Paperwhite Love mine
Paper white ??
Out of the two Paperwhite is better
Had both and paperwhite wins every time for me
I’d be lost without my paper white, they are great.
Paperwhite. Absolutely brilliant!
Paper white for sure
Ordinary, then buy a Kandle II light. It’s unobtrusive and if it breaks just buy another for about £10 – Also, reading in bed, it’s easy to hold to read normal books
