iPad or Kindle for reading on the go?

[MaineLonghorn]

I don’t use an iPad anymore. I find it redundant with my iPhone. Love my Kindle Paperwhite.

Can you read a kindle, esp paper white, with polarized sunglasses on?

Yes. I use polarized prescription sunglasses when reading outside.

I have carried my iPhone and iPad in my purse for years.
My phones was a 6s and super small. Yesterday I took a leap and bought an iPhone 10XSMax–
a phablet. Today I left my iPad home and read on my new phone. It was great. So if you are in the market for a new phone consider this. I will still enjoy my iPad for reading before bed.

I prefer the Kindle and easier to read outdoors as many others point out.

Although Libby isn’t compatible with Kindles yet, you can download books to your Kindle from most public libraries that have Libby (there are usually a couple of downloading options). That’s been true in the last 3 cities we have lived in.

Yup. Overdrive app works on my kindles (I have Kindle fires tho).

Still, I have Libby on my phone and just send library books to the kindles via Amazon, works fine.

I like the versatility of my iPad but admit it’s heavy for holding while lying in bed. I use it much more than the kindles S gave H and me. We use the kindle app on other electronics.

My iPad was under $300. I like the size of my iPhone 6s and that it fits in most of my pockets. Not interested in new phone or phablet yet.
