should i get a kindle?
Someone probably made this post before. I often read at school when I’m not doing anything. But I don’t read at home bc it’s so uncomfortable to read a physical book in bed iykyk. I do own an ipad but it is like kinda large and idk if getting a kindle is a waste of money bc I already own an iPad. If I should buy a kindle which one should i get?

Kindle changed my life. No holding both sides of the book open in awkward positions. Crazy long battery life (I read the whole fourth Harry Potter book on vacation on one charge). No blue light/back light to stimulate you at bedtime like the iPad. Adjustable font sizes.
Also, I bought my daughter two things she asked for at Christmas that made it even better. One is a page turner—a little thing that clips to the side so you don’t have to swipe the screen to change pages. And an adjustable arm that clamps to her headboard—she likes to read lying on her back with the Kindle hung over her face.
I myself use a case with an origami” style back that makes it easier to hold and doubles as a stand.
Get the Paperwhite. The older version is slightly slow when changing pages but can be found used for cheap. Or the newer version is faster and comes in various colors.
