I don't know which kindle you have, but I wanted to say, that I finally bought a kindle (paper white) and it has been a breath of fresh air. It's possibly my best purchase this year. I use it when I want escapism without the noise that is my phone. For me it's turned into a good medium ground even though I prefer a book's aesthetics. The last book I tried to read, I literally could only make it 2/3 of the way before it was impractical to hold one handed, a limitation of reading while holding twins until they fall asleep. Also the backlight. I can read a book without having to turn on a light when dealing with said twins in the middle of the night.

I have a five year old Kindle White, which I really like. I'm a little nervous about the white/blue light affecting my sleep, though....
