I'm on the fence about getting a Kindle. I already own an iPad, which offers a color display, handles PDFs well, and is decent for reading. However, I'm considering a Kindle to improve my sleep and have less distractions. Any thoughts or suggestions?

take kobo, if you don't want ads, them changing your texts, always monitoring you

>>24531729
i will pirate every book anyways

150 is the goy price. Wait for it to return to the normal 110 or whatever the baseline currently is, and buy this Paperwhite. Or just buy second hand, preferably jailbroken.
Or get a cuck 6" Kobo toy for double the price.

Oh wait this is signature lmao. Get the basic one, save money on hookers

>>24532146
what about the regular kindle? it's going for $85?

>>24532284
The only major difference besides the size was the absence of warm light (last time I checked). Too small, and I need warm light.

>>24532296
>Too small
I solved this by reading horizontally

I found the kindle significantly gentler on the eyes. After reading for more than three hours on the iPad it felt like my retinas were being slow cooked by the blue light LED screen

Honest answer— I've got the Paperwhite (I think 2021 edition, so it's likely a few generations behind) and it's still going strong. I used to use my Kindle Fire for reading but I think Paperwhite is much better in terms of comfortability, both physically holding it, and looking at it in light/darkness. Slightly easier on the eyes than a regular Kindle imo.

Can't comment on other e-readers as I've no experience with them but my mate has a Kobo and really likes it.

paperwhite is the best eReader out there. kobo fags are losers that don't know how to pirate books, iPad is meh for reading at best (likely using Kindle app anyways so your pages are synced) and the entry level Kindle sucks big time. I had one and upgraded a year later to paperwhite, still use it and it's been about 4 years. easily send pirated books and read on your phone or iPad and Kindle easily. Amazon doesn't fuck your shit unless you're an americuck and even then it's only if you buy books from their digital store like a bozo, the ads are also only in the US but I heard it can easily be removed.

Whats the best one if I only have a shitload of pdfs

>>24531723 (OP)
all of this is bullshit. i read on my crappy laptop with lights on, perfect. all of this is just gimmicky goyslop. this trash ain't worth $150, and if you wanna read on bed? phone. with lights on. just turn on the goddamn light coward.

I don't like reading on an ipad at all
It's like reading on my phone or computer

Enjoy your unskipable ad, son. You were warm, I don't want to see you on Koreader forums asking when Kindle will get a new Jailbreak because that won't happen until 2028.

You will have a far smoother experience with Kobo. The Libra 2 is discontinued but was supposedly the best for simple reading. I have the Clara I think. I've read more books in the 5 months I've had it than in the past 10 years, getting an eReader has been life changing. I only say Kobo because they aren't greedy

>>24531723 (OP)
Donmt get one

>>24532144
just buy used on ebay, yeah

>>24531723 (OP)
i love my paperwhite signature personally, was a really nice upgrade coming off my old paperwhite i got in like 2015

>>24532997
>that won't happen until 2028.
why?

>>24531723 (OP)
You answered your own question. Buy the fucking Kindle or keep reading on an iPad like a retard.

>>24531723 (OP)
stick with the iPad. Uninstall the other crap if you wanna be so precious about it. Ya queer

>>24532549
this. also if you're god tier you can download an app that manually turns off the backlight on your laptop, whether it be mac or PC

>>24536328

poor fags on cope mode
I'd rather read on my kindle than my phone or tablet any day of the week.

go ahead and buy your retarded nigger device that cant even sideload book through usb cable anymore. go fucking do it.
people that come here to discuss their prospects of buying amazon hardware are the worst niggers around. we get it you are normie cattle, now fuck off.
you dont know about property rights, you have no idea what ownership is and why its important. just go ahead and buy your nigger device already. add to the piles of shit in this world through your ignorance. you absolute fucking faggots

>>24531729
Kobo is a meme

>>24537542
qr? I was thinking of buying an ereader but knew that there would be a catch to an Amazon device

>>24537542
Nigga mad lmao

I came here looking for advice on this. Is it really worth it to pay full price for what is basically a tablet with 1 functionality? Is there no normal tablet in that price range suited for reading?

>is a tablet designed for reading really worth buying of you want to read on a tablet?

>>24539345
They are removing the feature to transfer ebooks you've purchased to your PC (You can still read those books via the Kindle app or Kindle reader online). Basically like how you can buy a show on Prime Video, but you can't download it and share it and shit. It's locked to your account. And if Amazon, or whoever should remove it, you may not own it anymore (not sure this is relevant to the ebook side of things though, how often do books really get banned?)
It's the whole "you don't actually own your digital goods" issue. For the VAST majority of readers, especially on a website like this, t's a non-issue, just people moral fagging. You can still download any and all books from anywhere and load them on your Kindle. This will never change, don't worry.
As for ads, there's literally just an ad for a random Kindle book on the lock screen. For $20 more, you can buy the ad-free version. It does not affect use at all whatsoever.

>forgot my kobo at home
This sucks. Reading on my phone is shit

I dont even bother to try. It's just such an awful experience compared to e-ink that I'd rather not even attempt it
