Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Hey. New board.

I love all kindles. Lately though I have actually been doing more reading with Moon+ Reader Pro on my phone. Mostly out of convenience and in-pocketness.

Were I buying something I didn't already have, yeah, paperwhite. Get caliber set up and you can even read non Amazon books on it pretty easy and it is Library compatible too.

I just got a used Amazon Fire and I'm liking it. My kindle was nice but I couldn't read it without the lights on.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I still use an iPad. I'd love a dedicated, lightweight e-reader, but I feel that I just own Too Much Stuff.

I like the kindle app on my iPad better than the kindle for reading magazines. I can't figure out how to get the kindle to show me the magazine in the same order as the paper version rather than grouped however the "articles list" is ordered.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've decided that reading on my phone is straining my eyes too much, and I don't otherwise feel a need for a tablet. I think I'm leaning toward Paperwhite.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I have an iPad, a big iPad, because that's pretty much the only thing that works for reading comics.

Our wings are not tired.

Flea, the Paperwhites are not backlit. They're front lit and incredibly easy on the eyes.

Reading comics on a mini iPad works for me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I also have an old Kindle and love it.

hip deep in pie

I had a basic kindle which I liked more than I thought I would, but the e-ink went all ferwonk after of a day of being schlepped around in my bag. (Just after the warranty expired.) So now I read on the kindle app on my ipad. Which is fine, except my old iPad 1 is heavy.
