Yeah I used to read LOADS and then the books mounted up, got boxed up and stored then eventually given to charity.
Fell out of reading and spent / spend too much time on my phone, so when I got a gift voucher from work at Xmas decided to get one.
Only came yesterday and already loading her up and read 11 chapters of a book yesterday which is unheard of for a long long time

I've often wondered about purchasing one and you might have finally persuaded me to get one!
It would definitely be a space saver and cost effective.

You really won't regret it - either of you. I read relentlessly as well. I had all sorts of issues with books, as much as I like them - tired thumb from holding them open, awkward to hold in bed, wife wanted to light off when she went to sleep (and I'm still reading for the next hour), taking books on the train when you don't have a bag etc. I haven't looked back. If I've bought any books in the past 5ish years, it's because they look nice. I've not read any of the paper copies, and have even bought kindle copies of books that I love so I can read them again despite having the paperback or hardback on the shelf.
Also, I've not tried the Oasis, but given the price difference I would stick with the Paperwhite. The only thing that annoys me about it is that it slows down after a while, so I restart it maybe once a week to keep it quick.

Only drawback with the kindle is the lack of overdrive support - my wife has a kobo and can borrow ebooks from the local library online instead of paying for bezos' rocketfuel.
Is that so you can keep wheeling them into the sun like a good cat butler
But you threw the bed (box) in the bin....what a waste.
Yes, i know my place.Is that so you can keep wheeling them into the sun like a good cat butler
Kitler demands obedience at all times.
Yes, but she has moved on from the boxes and will only sleep on the most obscure items inside them, like the creeper pictured.

Second this. The new one is awesome. I love the warm light. Makes it look even closer to that cream coloured paper you get in novels.
Which font do fellow kindle readers use? It’s Baskerville or Palatino for me.

I’ve been using Palatino for some time. I can’t remember why, but it’s suiting me for now. Before that, I used Bookerly

I’m in training so I need my own cauldron. I’ve already got a black cat and a wart on my nose, so I’m nearly there.
