I have used an Ipad Air with app, but I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite, because it is lighter, the e-ink is easier on the eyes, and the screen size is just right for me, not too small and not too big. I also never worry about the battery being dead. The weight difference is huge compared to an Ipad when you are holding it to read on a long flight.

I still use a tablet or laptop as well, but the "Kindle" still earns a place in bag most of the time and is my go too device for reading.

If you read a lot I highly recommend the kindle Paperwhite! So worth it. I love the instant access, reading at night, and being able to carry it around in my bag. I also love not having a distraction of a phone. It’s only for books so I have much less temptation to scroll and waste my time.

I bought several Paperwhites for my family for, like, $10 apiece at goodwill and they are so great! So easy on the eyes, you can adjust the font size to your liking. It's hard for me to go back to paper, to be honest?

Kindle is smaller/lighter. Can hold with one hand while reading in bed

Do it.

I read for years using Kindle app, both on my phone and tablet. Few years ago got Kindle and even though I still use app occasionally, Kindle is so much better. More comfortable when it comes to the size, ergonomical, easier for the eyes (especially if you spend time on phone and computer), better battery, less distractions due to lack of other functions.

I have Kindle (80$ one)

Used to read on the Kindle paperwhite. Then I started using an ipad, and have been reading quite a bit on it too. I still prefer the “real” kindle, though, it is lighter, an you can actually sit outdoor during summer and read on it without straining the eyes.

I first got the Kindle Oasis, so probably the best experience with that device. It was a pleasure but after realising how smooth the endless scrolling feels on the phone, I never came back and sold it. I would consider the Kindle if you don't need the endless scrolling!
