    I had a 2018 fire tablet and read everything on it just fine. Then I upgraded to 2020 fire tablet and for whatever reason it bothered me to read on it. I did get an anti glare protector but I still went ahead and bought a kindle paperwhite. I like how the fire tablet can do more things, and the lower price point. Over all I LOVE my kindle paper white. It is superior, and easier to see, for me anyway. This is a great video. I think it will help a lot of people who are trying to decide which one to buy. I would be interested in a video on the other e-reader you have.

    I have a fire and ive thought about getting a paperwhite just because of the glare and lighting thing. I will try the anti glare protector, the clear case (love that you can personalize it, and the strap!

    What great tips! I have never thought of using scrapbooking paper like that. Love that idea! I love my Paperwhite but have started reading more on my Kindle Fire because it's a 10 inch one and I can read so much easier. The glare is a problem though and I didn't know about the antiglare protectors. Again, great tips!

    Will definitely give this a whirl. Sure wish Hoopla and Scribd worked on your Paperwhite and my Oasis! My eyes are super sensitive to light. The only way I can read on my Fire is to have the brightness almost off and then set the page layout to reverse (black background and white letters).
    I would love your thoughts on that other ereader. Yes, please.
    I know your roosters frustrate you, but I admit they make me chuckle. Whenever they start up, I always think to myself, "Stacy's making another danger-free hostage video." 😂

      I think the Boox Palma would work well for you. The screen is exactly like the paperwhite, but it runs on android, so you can get all the apps. There's a few cons, too, though. I'll get that filmed soon!

      The paperelwhite is definitely a better screen. I just wish I could get all the other reading apps on it. Then it would be perfect 😁

    I’d love a video about Scribd. I was looking into it after watching this and I didn’t find a clear enough answer to how many ebooks/audiobooks are truly unlimited. Also is the limit just one a month of certain titles or is the limit more than one.
