Why I Love My Kindle Paperwhite (over physical books) 

Second this! I have five library cards 😂

Great idea! I have a couple library cards, maybe I can get more. The downside is waiting for your turn to borrow 😅

How do you get so many?

My local library is 45mins away which is why I decided to get a kindle

neither have I, it’s called piracy

You won’t regret it! And thank you :)

As long as there are books to read, the excitement lives! Thanks for watching

Omg! I’m excited FOR you 🥳

Thank you! Amazon prime day is coming up. It’s gonna be a great time to buy 🥳

@@EmyEleni Already in my cart!!😊💕

❤️❤️❤️

I don’t have a case for my kindle but I DO have a screen protector. I’m quite carefree when I travel with it, so I want to protect the screen from scratches :)

Hi! Its called hand strap tablet holder on Amazon :) I put one on either side so can lay down holding it lol

I would say it depends on you. The kindle app is great and can be accessed on any device but I prefer reading off the kindle because it’s truly meant for reading. I can’t describe it, but for me the reading experience is better on the kindle versus iPads. Up to you :)

I agree! The library is of course a great resource for free books but my libraries has 8-12 week wait times to borrow the books I want to read😅 I’m happy for them! But I can’t wait that long lol.

@EmyEleni , I feel you at the convenience of reading it right away. The libraries also do digital downloads for those who still want to save money. There can still be a wait list because they only do so many digital copies.

a lot of people tend to buy books, instead of borrowing them from the library. i personally got sucked into that mentality for a year because i was on social media

When I was going to my library a lot(mind you, it's been years), I ran out of books I was actually interested in, and there was a lot they just didn't carry. I read a lot and I like certain aspects of digital reading, like how it will say how long it takes to read each book. I still enjoy paperbacks but for me digital is cheaper, faster to get and more portable.

Because if you use a library so often there’s going to be a period in time where there’s nothing interesting for you to read. There could also be too long of waiting times to read the book you want to read.

This is also something I considered before getting a kindle! I guess it just comes down to preference. The user experience is different with the Kindle. Bigger screen, no glare on the screen, and less distractions to name a few. Sometimes when I use my phone I get distracted and scroll on other apps. Once I got it, I understood the hype :)

I got one simply because it cuts on distractions. Every time I tried to read on my phone or ipad I’d get distracted with notifications from social media, RU-vid, Spotify and more. Since the kindle can only be used for reading, it’s easier to stay focused. The battery life also lasts substantially longer than a phone or tablet, so you can read for longer if you’d like as well :) it all comes down to preferences and what works best for the individual.

I got one to avoid eye strain. already have a tablet and used to read on my phone when I was outside but I couldn’t read more than a few hours in a day and ended up with headaches that lasted until the next day too sometimes. having an e-reader is a must imo if you’re mainly a digital reader

I agree with all the other comments. But I feel like adding more detail, because I had this same question until I actually saw a kindle. And then I looked into why it looks so different from other screens. Phones and ipads use LED screens, they are constantly emitting light and also constantly refreshing faster than the eye can perceive, which causes eye strain. Kindles and most other e-readers typically use e-ink. Which does not refresh until you turn the page. The light is a static backlight that doesn't refresh. And you can turn the light off fully (I prefer this). Then the page will look like a regular page from a paper book. No eye strain at all, it reads just like a regular book.
