What's good with kindle paperwhite?

[PS5 Pro]

Thread title speaks for itself

is it worth it and are there any deals currently?

It's worth it if you can read.

edit: no deals that I see on my end outside of amazon itself.

Is that first line a shot at me? (Zoolander grad over here)

on a serious note it's worth it imo. small, light, portable, easy on the eyes and if you have prime you get access to free books. been rocking with mine for a few years.

How did he get me when this is a forum, you know, requires you to read to participate? I'm known for reading and writing more than everyone else but...somehow that gets missed

Now what type of books does Amazon offer with prime? And I'm sure you can add books in other ways as well, right (without going thru too much trouble)

@Kamikaze Revy

I know he has one, we spoke on it in another thread, i know he endorses this. Just wanted the communities feelings on it now and if there are any deals before I scoop

That paperwhite saved my ass from major boredom during hurricane Irma. The only electronic I had that didn't lose charge the whole 5 days without power. Come get this rep @Kamikaze Revy

It's absolutely worth it.

And mind you, I'm a BIG fan of reading physical books... It's a pride thing. I love when people see me on the train and are like "oh shyt, what's that about?"

I have NEVER liked kindle reading.

But that kindle paperwhite was a necessary since I'm literally running out of space to store my books. I've fallen in love w/ it.

It's great on your eyes, you can taba nd take the notes that you need without compromising the integrity of the book.

you can rent any one book, magazine or newspaper a month. it's a good deal since amazon has damn near every book. and i've heard you can add books by simply dragging and dropping it after connecting your kindle to a PC. i've never done it personally tho

i love reading physical books as well. finishing them and then putting it on my bookshelf and seeing the collection is something i take honor in. kind of egotistical and shallow but whatever. i've been using my kindle more because i ran out of space on my two bookshelves and adding a third would take up too much space.

It’s flames. I use it nightly.

It's excellent - however I've been reading off kindle on my phone mostly.

 

[Grand Conde]

Liquid makes a good point though - if you don't read, don't bother buying.

After having the DX for so long, I just can't myself going down to a 6" reader, but most of the time I'm reading tech docs and PDFs. Every year I wait to see if they are going to bring it back.


But for standard book reading, I would cop one.
