I'm old, don't travel, but if I am out and about, I have my Android Phone that is more like a computer than a phone. My reader is forever by my bed for night-reading.
Christmas time is the hardest time of the year for me, and times like that I start thinking buying something will make it all better, but a walk, just breathing in the fresh air, is better than spending money on a temporary-fix for me  |
Don't let anyone tell you what floats YOUR boat. It's A-OK if you end up preferring a tablet over e-ink, but do give your e-ink device a tryout for a little before returning, just to be sure. And it's OK if you prefer a Kindle tablet over open Android.
It's even OK to have more than one reading device for different purposes.
I'm a total nerd weirdo I suppose, for having a full Android phone (Pixel 9A, it was SUCH a deal), an iPad Air, and three different brands of e-ink readers (Kobo, Pocketbook, and Kindle), all of which are in regular use.
And while we are being all non-ecosystem centric, a Garmin fitness watch!
As for this time of year, I get it. We get a lot of fog in our little eastern OR valley. It can be really gloomy for months. The doctors around here all prescribe supplemental vitamin D. I use one of those SAD lamps, and get what light I can. It does help. Today, happily, is sunny, though freezing temps out.
