Ok...so I gave it to her. She doesn't like reading books on a phone. She like "real books". But I have so much content already purchased. And she loses books. So I had her try out my Kindle Paperwhite...which she liked.

So, since I still like reading on my iPad mini better...away my Kindle paper white flew.

But there's a NEW Kindle Paperwhite. Pre-Ordered. Nice how life can work that way. Still don't need to read in the sun, but the one thing I do like - and my wife likes - is how light the kindle devices are compared to a tablet. And unlike me, my wife doesn't have an iPad mini. She does read quite a bit on her phone.

Reading in the sun is the sole and only part of the reading experience I found superior about the Kindle over an iPad. I found the "no distractions" and "nice and light" to be -- nice to have.

And yet -- it's ANOTHER device. It doesn't do away with my phone or my iPad. So now I'm carting three devices around the house. So even when I had one...I only used it some of the time. And I don't think the screen is more comfortable to read on. It's not as sharp, or as bright, or as contrasty or as able to have color - it's much slower (but not too slow) to change pages.

YMMV
