![]() I am TERRIBLE about getting on my phone while reading, checking social media and all that. This way I don’t disturb them and I can keep reading. I’m a big night reader and having all the lights on keeps my dogs up which doesn’t bode well for me when I try to go to sleep. You can’t read a regular book in the dark. So the Paperwhite has an e-ink screen and I couldn’t tell you the actual tech talk behind that but basically it looks like you’re reading a normal piece of paper. Depends on how much I’m reading on it and at what time of day (since that determines the strength of the backlight) Did I mention it has a backlight?! I think I charge my Kindle once a week? Maybe? Probably closer to every 2-3 weeks if I’m being honest. But I ended up liking it more than any eReader I’ve had before! Long battery life. I honestly thought I wasn’t going to like the device, that it would be like my other ones and would ultimately be a waste of money (I mean I had SOME hope or I wouldn’t have bought it but there was a lot of doubt too). So what’s so great about the Kindle Paperwhite? This is not a paid promotion for the Kindle Paperwhite. I’m just a reader who’s very happy with their purchase and wanted to share with you in case any of you have the same problem. And the Paperwhite is SO MUCH SIMPLER compared to my other eReaders, it’s lovely.īefore I continue, I just want to clarify again that I did not receive any products for review for this post. Granted, I wouldn’t read anything if I had one brewing before I started reading because that would be silly but this was great! I could read late into the night without keeping the animals up (and making them restless) and not burning my eyes. ![]() Out under the glaring sun, in dimly lit restaurants, and everything in between. ![]() And when it arrived, I gave it a go.įor a month, I read on my new Kindle in bright light and no light. I have no idea when these happen each year, if they happen multiple times or just once annually, but I was taking FULL advantage. I waited around and it turns out they were having a deal on Kindles (among other things) for the Amazon Prime Day sales. I don’t really have the money to throw around on yet another eReader and have it not work out like the last ones. How can one eReader be that effective at decreasing the chances of a migraine or headache? You’re still staring at a screen, right? This does not impact my opinion of the product that I purchased prior to becoming an affiliate.Įarlier this year, I decided to give the Kindle Paperwhite a try. I researched the best eReader for people susceptible to migraines and a lot of fingers pointed to the Kindle Paperwhite.ĭisclaimer: Please note that the rest of this post contains Amazon affiliate links and I receive a small commission for any purchases made through those links. ![]() (Okay, not so much the first gen Nook but I gave that to my grandmother to use once I switched to the Kindle Fire so it really wasn’t an option.) I started with a first generation Nook, switched to a Kindle Fire, bought a Nook HD for all those ePUB books that my Kindle didn’t like, and had problems with it all. ![]() If I’m not into what I’m reading, I can easily switch to something new.īut those eReaders still gave me migraines. I can fit my Kindle in my purse and take hundreds of books with me wherever I go. How about you? Do you read a lot of eBooks? Which is a problem because I review a lot of eBooks. Now, being heavily involved online in the book community as well as using eReaders a lot, the migraines just keep on coming and sometimes I have to take several days disconnected from technology to get them to go away. It wasn’t as bad as it is now but, then again, I didn’t get my first laptop until junior year of high school and my first smartphone in college. When I was a kid, I used to get migraines all the time. ![]()
