for those with kindle ereaders , mine has died. which current kindle is the best regular kindle or paperwhite?

- (all says long lasting battery life but reading several reviews that that is not the case.) I dont use audible due to hearingloss so thats not a big thing.

I really love my kindle paper white. The battery lasts for weeks and I read every day. No glare if I’m reading by the pool and back lit so reading in a plane is never a problem.
I have some vision problems ( basically getting old) so I love the changeable font

what do you mean by glare? i dont think i have noticed it with previous kindles

I meant no glare as compared to my ipad

I have the kindle fire and really love it. my first one lasted about 5 years and is still going but not enough memory on it. my second one was a refurbished one through best but, after six months it quit so they sent a new one to replace it and it is great. it has a night time mode that is nice but i read it all the time,

i didnt see kindle fire as an option when i looked online on website. only regular kindle (89.00) kindle paperwhite (129) and Kindle oasis .

personally i prefer kindle voyage , i liked size and feel of it they dont make it anymore unfortunately or have new generation of it

I'm sorry I bought my fire on best buy website under refurbished. It comes with same warranty that a new one has plus is about half price

I have a kindle oasis, and while its a bit on the $$ side, i have to say, that one of the things i love about is the one handed reading and page turning. It was for sure worth the extra cost to me.

Update I ended up getting the new kindle paperwhite. oasis is too much for me at the moment and i am accident prone. I tried using the display one and tried using one hand with it. was a bit heavy for me and kept nearly dropping it

I just read on a Kindle app on my phone. It's a bit tiny with some picture files that don't let you enlarge easily but doesn't cost extra and I carry it with me anyway so Kindle is always available when I have a moment to read

I've had a paperwhite for years and it is fine for me. I use the Kindle App on my computer more than anything. Comes free if you have a Kindle. Easier to enlarge print but also easy to copy and paste for reviews so I can remember names, dates, places I want to mention.
