My wife, mother, and MIL, all have Kindle paperwhite’s from a generation or two ago. All three prefer kindle over iPad reading. I actually do also, I just don’t want to keep track of another device. Our moms both have a hard time reading print and love both the adjustable brightness and font size on the display. It’s made reading so much easier for these lifetime readers. Like many, not exactly excited to support Bezos, but we have all had positive experiences with the kindle. I believe my MIL has figured out how to download books at the library. Our daughter prefers hard copies of books, but I think there’s a trend amongst Gen Z and Millennials towards media ownership rather than licensing through devices (e.g., cds, dvds, books, magazines).
