I'm in the market for a new e-reader as my Kindle Voyage won't hold a charge anymore.  I'm here looking for opinions on what you all like and recommend.  Kindle Paperwhite or a B&N Nook?  Hope I get several responses.

I love my Kindle Paperwhite.  I bought the Kindle Keyboard when it first came out but switched to the Paperwhite many years ago.  I wouldn't want anything else.

Why are you limiting yourself to a “E reader”? I am a big big reader and I read all of the books that I download from the library, Amazon, etc. on my iPad.  Any tablet, any size, will do the same thing, plus you’ve got a regular tablet.

I also have a 6S iPhone that is more than large enough to read when I am traveling. 

Every device turns into an E reader by simply downloading the app for Amazon Kindle.

I poo pooed the Kindle for years since I had the app on my phone and macbook air.   Last fall I decided that while I could read books on my iphone, it was really too small for that.  So, I bought the Kindle Paperwhite.

I love it.  I've read so many more books since I got it.  It's the perfect size:  not too big and not too small.  Fits in my purse.   

I signed up for Kindle Unlimited and while they aren't best sellers, I've read some enjoyable books there.   I also get the 'better' books from my library sent right to my Kindle.

It is one of my all time favorite purchases.

I know nothing about the Nook.  Sorry.  But you can't go wrong with a Kindle, IMO.

Another vote here for the Kindle Paperwhite. I know you can just use your existing tablet but the Kindle is so lightweight. I can hold it in one hand easily while I'm reading in bed and just use my thumb for page turning.

I'm using the newest Kindle Reader and I like it a lot.  It came out in the Spring and they call it the All New Kindle Reader.  It's light as feather, totally glare free in outdoor light.  Which is why I bought it.  I wanted to be able to read outside in the brightest sunlight, as if I picked up a paperback.  I like that a charge lasts for weeks and weeks so I don't have that exasperating experience of tossing it in my bag and then sitting somewhere to read and having it die after 20 minutes because I didn't remember to charge it.  Prior to that, I didn't have an e-reader, I did all my reading on my Kindle Fire tablet.

I love my Kindle Paperwhite.

Eons ago I had the basic Kindle with keyboard. Upgraded to a Paperwhite. Had it a long time and one night I accidentally sat on it while reading in bed!

Got another PW a couple of years ago and I ADORE it. I wouldn't use any other e-reader personally.

I actually like reading my kindle on my iPad better

Hi Tyak: another vote for Kindle. I have both the Paperwhite (love) and the Oasis (love love). While the Oasis is way more expensive, and I debated a long time before buying, I may b coming to like it even more than the Paperwhite. It is shaped like a regular book in that the lines of print are longer, it has a little “ledge” on the side that fits my fingers just right and it will reverse itself from hand to hand, if that males sense.😄. It lives in my purse while the Paperwhite lives at home. I usually read a regular book while also have one going on Kindle. Can’t help about the Nook but always hesitated because I think Amazon will be around longer than Barnes and Noble the way things seem headed. Good luck; it’s nice to have choices!
