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.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like the physical design of the Kindle Oasis and adding stuff to it that doesn't come from Amazon seems to be pretty easy (I haven't done it a whole lot, but I apparently expect it to be much more complicated than it actually is and am pleasantly surprised every time). Bluetooth only for audio, which is ok for me but something to consider if you have plug in headphones you love or something.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I am too lazy to use multiple devices and just read on my phone (or, very very occasionally, the in-browser Kindle reader).

I move around from room to room with five different devices, a hardcover, and magazines. It's a good thing I have a little helper in the form of ltc.
