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.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I also have an old Kindle and love it.

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.

Love my paper white. I like library reading on the overdrive app on the iPad, but kindle is smaller, easier on the eyes, and more focused (less likely to get a notification or whatnot and suddenly be online instead of reading). Don't love the organization on the kindle but still prefer to iPad in general.
