The Kindle Paperwhite is life changing. I used to read a bit on my iphone and looking back on it I literally can't even understand how I was able to do it. Paperwhite is like real paper books but better in every way. If only they could get the smell right....

I have the kindle app on my phone in case I forget my e reader. Most of the time I have my phone on me, yet I wouldn't store all of my books on my phone. That would take up too much storage. If you have a lot of storage on your phone with a nice readable screen, then use your phone. That would be just one less electronic device you have to keep up with.

One of the things I like about a reader vs reading on my phone is the look of it. It might be shallow but I hate when people assume I’m messing around my phone for hours instead of the truth... that I’m reading.

E-reader all the way. I can't stand staring at my tiny screen for hours with that backlight blinding me, no way.

We use a phone for so many other things. Also, I have noticed that reading on my phone kills its battery faster. So, an ebook reader would be a sound investment for all of us bookworms.
