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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have an iPad, a big iPad, because that's pretty much the only thing that works for reading comics.
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 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.
I use my iPad Mini Retina.
I read on my phone, and watch videos on my kindle.
I love my paperwhite as well - both for my own ebooks and those I borrow via Overdrive. In particular, I love increasing the font and reading without my glasses when I'm in bed. I also love the battery life - at least a week given the way I read (generally a couple of hours a day).
