Kindle paperwhite

[fairybells]

I have the old normal kindle and I've been think my about getting the paperwhite but not sure if it's worth the upgrade? I almost bought it on Black Friday sales when it was £80 but then decided not to. Since then regretted it and now it's on sale for £95 and again thinking is it worth the money? Compared to the normal kindle? Should I wait and see if it was even cheaper after Xmas or is this a good price for it at £95?

Kindle paperwhite is much better as you can read it in the dark without a separate light. Don't know if its a good price or not as I got the voyage as a present (similar but pricier than the paperwhite)

Is the light the only difference between the two?

I didn’t like my original kindle and eventually (and a bit reluctantly) bought the paperwhite when it was on offer.
I love it!

I love my paperwhite. I didn't want to get a touch screen one (i had one of the old keyboard ones) but when it broke I had no choice. Best purchase ever. I can read in bed without annoying DH with the light, and it doesn't hurt my eyes like a phone or iPad screen does.

I'm hoping for one. I don't use my kindle much because the old display is so horrible. DS has a paperwhite and it's so much more readable, it doesn't compare.

I love my Paoerwhite and have never regretted upgrading my ordinary one.

Well I think you have convinced me! The old kindle's screen is very dark and it took me a long time to get used to it so I think I'll love the paperwhite!

What makes it better than the Fire, for anyone who can help?

Reallytired - it's completely different to the fire. The fire is backlit like a computer/phone. The paper white feels much more like reading a book. Much less strain on the eyes and doesn't feel like reading on a screen.

Would you recommend over a fire?

I suppose I am struggling to understand it - why the Paperwhite is more expensive and does less - have I got that essence correct?

It is worth it. I had the original touch but my DP got annoyed at the light being in so got me a PW it is much clearer and easier to read and adjust.i can read it in the bright sun or without disturbing others in bed.
It’s very good.

Oh and it doesn’t stress my eyes.

It’s better than the fire because it’s not another blue light, eye damaging , irritating screen. It’s a book with a built in light .

It's hands-down the best e-reader out there. You will love it.

Thanks! Looks like the Paperwhite it is :)

I love mine although I’m currently listing after the new waterproof version.

Which I absolutely do not need.

Definitely not.

Lusting not listing!
