I own two Kindles and DH has one. Before the Kindles DH stopped reading much due to the his older eyes. He used to read a lot. Now he enjoys reading again. I still read both paper and Ebooks but now prefer the Ebooks also. At some point eyes tire easily as we age even with reading glasses. Not so with the Kindle. Love my Paperwhite, even in a dark room. I've decided to stop buying books as long as I can get them as Ebooks. Been getting rid of all the old paperbacks around here. Giving a few to friends, donating a few to the library but most are going directly into the recycling bin. The only books I really want to keep are those out of print, those with illustrations and children's books.

Wow--so many good suggestions! I have two Kindle Fires--7" and 8.9", both in cases--and a 7" Nexus Android tablet (no case). A couple of years ago I bought the pyramid cushion Marcopolo described, but it swallowed up my Nexus, so I gave it to my little grandson. it works well with his kid's Kindle. I checked out all your suggestions, and I think I'll a) get a strap like the one Watchmelol recommended, b) get the aluminum stand in Raven's first recommendation, and c) find a throw pillow like Rose's--just the right height. My hand and I thank you all!

I love my paperwhite and am able to get most books I want from the library in kindle version. Lately a bunch have only been the epub or hoopla so I am generally able to read them on my chromebook. Not as convenient as the kindle for sure, but in covid times, it's not a big issue. Maybe I should investigate Calibre, I do absolutely prefer reading on the paperwhite.

amicus, I'm surprised you can't get the Overdrive or Libby apps in Canada. I have the Overdrive app on my Kindle Fire, but I can't get the Libby app. I wonder if you had a newer Kindle if you would able to get one or both of them ? I don't understand why you can't get the same books from Amazon that we have available here. Now, my local library is very limited on the amount of e-books they have available - at least, the ones by my favorite authors, and some are not available at all. DLM, I don't have a Paperwhite, so I don't know much about them. I would assume they all have wifi. I don't know what the front light is for, but I don't think I would need that. Get the one with advertising included if want, or need to save money. As far as new or refurbished - I would get new if I could afford it and could get a good deal, or refurbished if I wanted to save money, as long as there's a good warranty. Storage depends on what you need . I suppose if you read a lot, get as much storage as you can afford; if you read less, get less storage. I guess if you're reading temporary books which will be removed, you won't need as much storage. Free books from Amazon can be removed from your device and stored in the cloud, so keep that in mind, too. There are also places online where you can download free books to keep. I hope this helped you a little. I really know nothing much about Kindle Paperwhites .
