I love my Kindle in broad daylight eInk is marvellous stuff. At night for bedtime reading I've found myself using a Kindle app on my Smartphone, not to disturb the sleeping. What kind of hybrid all-in-one am I looking for?

although i love my kindle and the eink, i also have an android tablet and use the kindle app on that - it works very well...also, if your library has an elibrary online especially with overdrive then you can also borrow books from there and read them on it - they are epub format and you can download the overdrive app to read them... |

I much prefer to read on an eInk screen even if that means having to turn a light on. I do have an iPad and I also have the Kindle app on my mobile phone but I'd still use the kindle before the others if I had the choice. the only time I use the mobile phone or iPad is if I don't have my kindle with me.In fact I've been reading e-books for years on mobile devices, right back from the Compaq iPaq days right through to the iPad. After a year of reading on the iPad 1 screen though my eye's were starting to suffer and I decided it was time to try out a Kindle. I will never go back to a back light LCD screen now

I rarely read on the iPad nowadays. If I'm waiting in the car to pick someone up, then I would usually have the kindle with me. If I'm out and about on foot then I normally only have my mobile phone with me so I fire up the Kindle app then. |

RE: Backlight versus eInkI buy the idea but could it be subconscious?
