I'm a fan of the Kindle.

I like my kindle but honestly mostly read on the kindle app on my iPad these days—it’s a bigger screen and easier to navigate/download/etc. The paper white kindle is nice for being smaller and lighter but mostly I only use if I want to carry something tiny and/or it’ll be in bright sunlight where the iPad isn’t as good. (Also it’s waterproof!)
I also have a Kindle, though I don't think it's a Paperwhite. What I like about reading on it rather than a phone or iPad is the ability to take blue light out of the equation. I try to limit that because of the migraines, and I find my eyes get tired less quickly with my Kindle.
Blue light is definitely a thing for me, and on the days when I don't check in here or on FB it's usually because I can't stop tearing up. Sounds like a Kindle Paperwhite is the one for me.
Any e reader recs? Kindle? Fire? Something else? I'm tired of struggling with this.
I loved my Nook so very much, and broke it. Since they were out of them at the moment I broke it I tried the Kindle and I hate it compared to my dear Nook. I have the Paperwhite, but it just doesn't have my love. I'll get another Nook again.
Note that I don't think Nook has all the super free and cheap e-books to the extent that Kindle has them.
one of the advantages of the Paperwhite is that you can borrow ebooks from the library and have them auto-sent to your Kindle! It's great. You don't have to download and side-load them or anything.
The battery on a Paperwhite lasts a long time, and it's as easy to read as a paper book for me. I have basically stopped buying hard copies of books.
You can also download fic and sideload it.
I do like the ease of being able to just email things to my Kindle.
You can absolutely add fic to your kindle. I have several comfort reads on there. I keep a lot of comfort reads (fic or regular books that i read and re-read) on there, with newer or temporary stuff on the iPad.
I loved my Kindle Oasis because I found it easier to hold, but when it broke, I bought the most basic model and it has worked out fine once I put a pop tab in the back. I love it for reading in bed because the light isn't enough to keep TCG awake and I can read until I fall asleep, which is the only thing that works for me. I do have a kindle app on my ipad which I mainly use for graphic novels and cookbooks.
