Well it seems like what I was leaning towards(the PaperWhite) is what this thread is pushing me towards. Not that I can make the dive anytime too soon. Wanna catch up with Expenses before I drop a 100+ on something to read books.

Though do eBooks make for more profit for authors or do paperbacks? I do like to support my favorite authors. The ones whose publishers have paperback preorder options for the first release I always preorder. With hardcover or eBook being the only option I always place a hold through the library. I REALLY don't like hardcovers.


And I have read that studies indicate that screens shouldn't be harder to read from than paper. But that has never been true for me. The easiest example is I need my glasses to read from a screen the same distance that I can read a book without my glasses. Obviously print sizes and fonts are comparable. Everything on the monitor/phone is just so blurry without my glasses. Paper though is readable. I wonder if the E-Ink will be readable without my glasses? That is a biggie since my glasses have always caused some minor eye strain on their own(likely because they get slightly bent or because I don't keep them clean enough or because they get scratched).
