"Kindle Paperwhite review"
Reply to: by kaitlin.luksa
I think it’s a personal preference thing. As someone who reads at least 2 books a week, I MUCH prefer reading off an e-ink screen than an LCD one. It does seem silly that I have both a 7" tablet and a Kindle Keyboard which I carry with me everywhere, but my tablet is for playing games, watching YouTube videos and checking up on Facebook, while my Kindle is purely for the experience of reading. Reading on my tablet just burns my eyes and I am often distracted by FB and email notifications. My Kindle really lets me just get absorbed in to my books. Also, I love the long lasting battery life of my Kindle. Even with the amount I read I only need to charge it every 3 weeks or so. I say if you’re someone who really loves to read, you should definitely get yourself a Kindle or other e-ink device. If you are a moderate reader and want an all-around useful device, get a tablet.
