Best buy Kindle paperwhite-Expert recommendations to choose.

hab386 · Today, 04:38 AM

I researched the best e-reader as I've been trying to cut down on screen time from my phone. i have been experiencing eye strain and headaches after long reading sessions. i went through reviews from trusted sources like Best Buy and The Verge and after comparing many options these two kept coming up as the top choices:
Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB

however, i am having trouble deciding which one would be better for me and i would love to get your expert advice and hoping maybe some avid readers or tech enthusiasts on this forum can also share their advice.
i usually read in low light before bed. Which one is recommended for me? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Where do you get your ebooks and in what format? Kindles cannot read the epub format without conversion, and also cannot read library books outside the US.

OTOH, it's easy enough to convert epubs to Kindle-compatible formats or use Amazon's Send to Kindle service for this. Unless the books have DRM, in which case it must be removed first.

All review sites are biased toward Kindle. Only the best solution if you buy Amazon Kindle ebooks or have a KU sub.

Otherwise: Kobo, PocketBook, Onyx Boox
