Flea, the Paperwhites are not backlit. They're front lit and incredibly easy on the eyes.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

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).

I bought the kindle DX last time around because it was the only one that was still offering a keyboard. It took a bit to get used to the bigger size, but I like it now. I use an iPad for graphic novels and cookbooks.

I use Aldiko on my Samsung Galaxy tablet, I love Aldiko, I can set up tags and collections to sort everything by. There is a glare factor, though, and I wish I could bring myself to get a Paperwhite just for fic, but my tablet does everything.
