Kindle or iPad for eReading

[quote=jhoijhoi]Hi all ^^ I've got an ancient iPad, nearly 10 years old. The last time I connected it to the Apple Store was probably in 2011. I actually think it is no longer supported for updates etc and I wouldn't be surprised if my Apple ID is inactive or whatever (I don't do Apple). I haven't purchased a brand new book in a while, as I'm a thrift shopper and get a lot of my books second hand. My bookshelves are overflowing, despite repeated culls and I'm thinking maybe it's time to let go of two bookshelves or so, as titles gather dust. tldr; I'm thinking of investing in some sort of eReading device and purchasing digital versions of my physical copies as I want to read them. Which eReader do you own and would you purchase it again/recommend it? Thanks in advance :)[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I used a Kindle (don't remember the specific model, sorry) in my last year of university. I liked the convenience of not having to carry multiple books around and it wasn't too bad to read on it. The main benefit to me was that ebooks are easier to get and usually cheaper than physical copies. I think I personally prefer reading on a physical book, but if you need one of the other convenience/cost aspects of a kindle reader it does the job. I don't have experience with other Kindle models or iPads or anything so I can't offer a useful comparison.[/quote]
