Hi there, I am just curious do u guys use kindle to read?
If yes, how is the experience so far? Do you guys get tired after reading for long hours?
If no, then why not?
I am really interested in buying a kindle, but I would like to hear from some of you before I purchase it.
Thanks.

Own Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Keyboard. Paperwhite is better due to the built in light. Used it mostly during travelling, compact and light. However, buying books directly from Amazon need VPN for safety.

Long term wise is it cheap to buy books from the Kindle store?
Do u mind explaining why VPN is needed for safety?

Cheaper in long term. You can do a comparison with Kindle book price and MY book price. Convenient to buy books from your house. But you miss out the paper smell and book display on shelves.

Amazon can't sell the Kindle and its ebook to Malaysia. You have to use VPN to cheat Amazon you are at USA to buy book safely. They will randomly check on where people buying books, if they found out they will email you for IC, normally I just ignore them and they won't do anything also. A hassle but not a big problem.

Or you can buy Kobo reader which sell books internationally. Google book store also just launched in MY, but no e-ink Android device yet I think.

Yeah, i really like the fact the it uses e-ink.
But does it strain your eyes when you read it for a long time?
Have u tried kobo yourself?
Seems like these 2 are the best e-readers around. hmm.gif

Is it a 1st or 2nd gen PW? I'm looking for a new ereader to replace my Kindle Touch since the main button doesn't really work anymore (a pain in the ass to use) and I could really use the light. If you've still got it could you pm me the price? Thanks.

I have the latest kindle paperwhite. I bought it recently and i don't seem to use it too often.
If you want, you can PM me.
Thanks.
