I'd love some feedback on Kindles and Nooks......

7. I read constantly

Have had several Kindles, currently one that’s like 5” x 7” (I can’t even find the “about” info because they really do suck except for reading, but I think it’s a Kindle 3…) This is my third one over… maybe 10 years? I never get the newest or biggest one. I just want to be able to read books on something bigger than my phone.

Can’t remember why I dismissed the Nook as an option from the start but it must’ve been a good reason because I hate Amazon. I did see that B&N disappeared in our town, which would be another warning sign as far as long-term support. I do love that this lets me customize my settings so I have white text on a black background, a font I like, and I can jack up the size big enough so I can read in bed without my glasses on.

I think I paid under $50 because there were two newer and bigger (and waayyyy more expensive) versions and I got free shipping. Anything bigger might be nice but this one is comparable to the size of a paperback and who wants to wrestle with a small laptop in bed? I think that for primarily reading, this more than suffices. I also find that they don’t hold up forever, which is why I’m on my third. No point getting fancy if they’re not made to last longer than they seem to.
