Okay guys, my brother in law wants an e-reader. Just a basic reader, reads like a printed book with no crazy backlight. Easy to load books onto it from the library. He has amazon prime. He also has dyslexia and needs it to be easy to adjust for his reading needs. He has a book light to use with it. Suggestions? Kindle or Nook? Not super expensive is preferred. 🤔 #whichereader
Thank you!
Beatlefan129 I love my Kindle Paperwhite. It only cost $100, no back light, and it‘s easy to adjust text size. 4y
Johanna414 I'm seconding the Kindle Paperwhite! I absolutely love mine and I believe there is a font designed specifically for people with dyslexia 4y
Hestapleton I‘m obsessed with my kindle paper white. 4y

katy4peas 👍🏼 Is it easy to add library books to it? @Beatlefan129 @Johanna414 @Hestapleton 4y
Beatlefan129 I add library books all the time. I have the Libby app and there‘s a button for download to Kindle @katy4peas 4y
Amie Library books are much easier to put on a Kindle than a nook. I love my Kindle paperwhite. 4y
Chrissyreadit I would go kindle too. I started with nook but they developed obsolete operating systems and could not update with customer service telling me there was nothing I could do. Switched to kindle and not had same problem. 4y
katy4peas Awesome! Thanks! @Amie @Chrissyreadit @Beatlefan129 @Hestapleton @Johanna414 4y
Cortg Another add to the Kindle. You can change the font and dyslexic users seem to have an easier time reading with the Open Dyslexic font. I have a Kindle Paper White. It‘s basic and easy to use especially with borrowed library ebooks. 4y
katy4peas That‘s great! @Cortg I kinda want to trade in my nook for a kindle now. I can‘t read library books on my nook so I use it just for my purchased and free ebooks. I also have a horrible time downloading the NetGalley ARCs on it which is annoying as I don‘t like reading those on my phone or computer. 🙄 ah well. Thanks for the advice. 😊 4y
Cortg @katy4peas I hear ya! I bought my dad the Paper white and I was envious for 2 years. Then they upgraded the Paper white and the original was discounted so I splurged. I had the original touchscreen but hated the dark background on it. 4y
katy4peas Does the paper white have a reading light built in like the nook glow light? That soft front light glow for reading? @Cortg 4y
Cortg It does and you can modify the light setting. It‘s quite lovely, not harsh on your eyes and easy to read at the beach! 4y
katy4peas Awesome, thanks @Cortg 😁 4y
