Can't you just get an app for your phone? Plus, they have killer battery life's and are usually pretty compact. Back when I had a desk job it was great always having a library to read through at lunch. |

In an unbelievable turn of events on arfcom GD, virtually everyone loves the Kindle Paperwhite!

Cheap 8" android tablet from micro center. Good for movies and comic books too. |

I read on my phone and on my Kindle fire (which is really just a cheap tablet) and it never bothered me. I will admit it's not great for reading in direct sunlight, though. Might want to go with the Paperwhite if that's your situation. |

Kindle Paperwhite.
As stated above, it's the only product I've ever seen that is ARFCOM GD approved. I have read on LCD screens, I even have a Nook Color from the early days of E-readers... I kept my old Kindle Keyboard as a backup* rather than read on the other devices. *-The Amazing battery life has it's drawbacks... since you almost never have to charge the thing, you never charge the thing.

| Kindle fire, I use an 8 in fire hd now cause they had them on sale for $50 bucks at Christmas, my last one was a 7 in and it worked fine as well, I also have a 7 in android with a kindle app, that now gets used on my Mill DRO's and my wife is on her third 7in kindle, phones are way to small and I don't carry my phone most of the time, cause it don't work at the places I go. |

If you only want it for reading, go Kindle Paperwhite or the like. I still have my 3g keyboard model and would be using it had the battery still held a charge.
I opted for one of the black Friday Kindle Fire tablets and hate it. The battery life blows because it is a tablet, the screen sucks to read on, the OS blows because it's a modified Android, and it's slow as fuck. Every time I try to use it, I want to smash it. |

I was very skeptical of e-readers. I loved my hardbacks.
Now I love my Kindle Fire. Too much hassle to hold the large hardbacks, can't dim them for bedtime reading. Shit, now I pretty much have to use some 1x reader glasses I got for cheap if I want to read small type. I vote for the Fire or other tablet because I will use it to check the TV guide and IMDB while I am watching tv. Paperwhite sounds good, but I enjoy the extra functionality of the tablet. |

My Kindle has pretty much eliminated my need for a laptop or regular computer at home. Only once in a great while do I miss the keyboard and mouse. I love my Kindle. All my books, sheet music, set lists, and web browsing all in a compact package that runs forever on a battery charge.
The only thing I'd change about it is maybe a larger display for when I'm using it while playing guitar. My charts are just a wee bit on the smallish side some times. I have a foot pedal that flips pages, which is a huge thing for a musician. |
