Hey, ladies — I have become to attached to my phone and rather than reading my ebooks at bedtime or when I can’t sleep at night, I am doomscrolling through Twitter or obsessively checking the news sites instead. Somebody in the morning thread mentioned putting her phone in the other room and having a dedicated Kindle device in the bedroom for books, and that sounds like a good idea.
So… which Kindle? It needs to be readable in a dark room but other than that I am open. I will only be using it to read ebooks. Which one should I get?

Not that poster, but I have a Paper White for this purpose! I love it!
Senior Attorney
Can you read it in the dark?

Yes, the Paper White has internal, adjustable light so you can read it in the dark and in bright sunlight. I also have an origami style case so I can read in different positions while propping up the Kindle, and it’s easy to fall asleep while reading.

I have a Paper White for this purpose and like it. I like that the light can be adjusted low enough that it doesn’t bother my SO sleeping next to me. It is also lightweight. Bonus points for being inexpensive enough that I wouldn’t be too upset if I dropped it in the bathtub.

I have the Oasis and I love it. The bonus of having it be water-resistant is nice for soaking in the tub and reading.

I just use my iPad though technically there’s nothing to stop me from internet surfing on it.

Yes, I regularly read at night in bed! I looked up which one I have, it’s the Paperwhite 3 (2015) so it’s an oldy by tech standards. I can change the brightness, text size, font, and layout–and I do based upon my reading conditions (essentially, am I wearing my glasses).

To add to that, and my nesting fail, I started with a Kindle Basic, but the screen resolution on the Paperwhite is noticeably better.

Okay, I’m going to give it a try! Thanks!
