I have a kindle paperwhite, which I love. I read at night while my husband is sleeping, and my eyesight isn't so hot, so I can make the font as big as I want. I love a regular book too, but the kindle enables me to read anywhere, anytime :-) I am connected to libraryconnection and there is a huge selection of books from my public library. I also listen to audio books on my way back and forth to work and get those from the library with an app called Libby.

I have a Kindle. I often use my IPAD because it is what I often have in my hand and usually all of my ebooks are on it.

I've had 2 kindles and I must say the convenience of having your books with you all the time , makes it so much easier than having to walk around with the hard copy book itself.

I love my kindle. I use it instead of books because it travels far better than a paperback book can. I use it almost daily depending on the kids activities and with the camera feature I never miss a perfect picture opportunity. I am currently using a kindle but I think I may expand to a kindlefire. It has more memory for more books to be downloaded. :D

Paperwhite, but I still love and purchase many paperback books because there's nothing like looking at a library full of knowledge that is waiting for you to let it consume it.

My free Kindle can open the books downloaded from Amazon, can import PDF and .mobi formats, too. It also comes with dictionaries to see the words' meaning so it's pretty convenient. Though I hate it when I can't open more than one book at a time and can't seem to add notes.

I purchased a Kindle Fire shortly after they first came out (2010 I believe). It is still working today! Before that I had the original Kindle. I used to travel a lot when I was younger, and packing multiple books to last weeks was inconvenient. Having a Kindle is great because I can take books anywhere. I love being able to easily look up word definitions and also easily take notes while reading.

i have a kindle and i love it. i have 2 of them one is the kindle fire and the other is just the plain paper white. i used them both sometimes i interchange from sometimes. if im on the go i used the speech text to listen to my books. i have thousands of them already and i get it free from amazon. some of the books i buy like the books who are in series and they are not free. i love the hard or soft covered books as well i miss it coz sometimes if you forgot something and you wanna go back you can always go back especially if you fold that page its easy to find but for kindle you have to go all the way the beginning to look for that particular page.

I have a Kindle Fire 10 I like it but I prefer having a book to read vs reading on a screen. However, it is much easier to carry around then a stack of books if you are going on a vacation or you are short on space.

I do love holding real books while reading, but the Kindle has been a game changer. There are four avid readers in our house of five and each of us have bookshelves stuffed with favorite books. We also all have Kindles because we couldn't possibly fit all the books we read into our house. I love Kindle Unlimited and free book findings from various websites; I download anything that sounds good and when I get in that mood where I really don't know what I want to read, I have a whole library to choose from. My newest Kindle has a back light which allows me to read when my husband is sleeping or in the car at night, it is lightweight, and it is compact so I can throw it in my purse without adding bulk.

I normally read three or four books at the same time. I have a Kindle Fire 8 HD because I like to play games, surf the web, and read my books. Now when traveling I no longer need to lug several books with me, as the Kindle replaces all those books plus my laptop for game playing.

I've been a lot more keen on getting a Kindle recently, now that I've been reading more comics. There's a lot of content that's out of print, but available digitally for practically nothing (and sometimes literally nothing). When it comes to regular novels nothing beats a physical book, but with comics I feel like artists occasionally are stifled by the page size, especially when they stretch one large drawing across both pages. A small portion of that art gets lost in the crease, while this isn't an issue in the digital medium. Being able to save some shelf space in general wouldn't hurt, either! :)
