Discussion: Your Favourite Type of eReader

I’ve never claimed to be a huge tech fan so it took me a long time to get an ereader for myself.  And I’ve honestly never looked back since.  It’s so much more convenient than reading on a computer and it stores a great deal of books for all those times when I’m stuck in waiting rooms or airports.

I asked my readers for ereader suggestions and they were overwhelmingly for Kindles.  I had a modest budget (preferably under $150) so I got a Kindle Paperwhite.  It’s nothing fancy, there’s no colour or anything but it works for my purposes: reading ebooks authors send me.  Well, and adding the odd free book on Amazon to it.  I love how the screen doesn’t look so much like a screen (it actually looks like the page of a book) and I can read on my Kindle for hours without straining my eyes.  The battery doesn’t last as long as advertised because I use it a lot, but I was surprised at how long it actually does last.  Overall I’d say I’m pretty happy with my little Kindle Paperwhite.

What I want to know now is this: Do you have an ereader?  If so, what type?  What are some things you like about it?  Is there anything you don’t like about it?  Let me know in the comments below!
