I'm going to take the leap and go electronic in my reading of books, and fancied a Kindle. The two that have caught my eye are the Kindle Paperwhite or the Kindle Voyage

They seem to tick all the boxes for what I need,but a couple of questions.

1. Is it worth paying the extra to have the advertising removed?
2. Can two Kindles be used on the same account and the books transferred between them?
3. is the Voyage worth an extra 60 quid?

I use an old Kindle and my iPad (with Kindle App) on the same account. Never seen any advertising. Don’t know about Voyager.

I buy books via Amazon and I still prefer to buy an actual book.
Though if it's cheaper (& not as important to me) I get them on Kindle and read them through the Kindle app on my iPad- imo there's no need for a separate device.
Oh, and I don't get any adverts on my iPad/Kindle app.

I've normally got two books 'on the go' at the same time - one actual book, the other on Kindle.

The added benefit of reading on Kindle is that it's much easier to read through the night (without the need for a separate light and/or waking up the good lady) FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

My kindle is several years old so can't help with the hardware question, however...

... I regularly read the same book on my kindle, android phone, android tablet and laptop. It all syncs seamlessly between them.

And never seen any ads

I use a Kindle Fire HD tablet with 8inch screen. I use it for all my reading, plus of course, it is a fully functioning tablet computer. I download all my books direct to the tablet, mostly from Amazon. I think it was about £80, which is brilliant value for money. I have not bothered to remove the advertising. An advert only appears when you first open the device, and with one swipe, it's gone. I also have a very old (original) Kindle, and books transfer OK from that the the Fire. Hope that's helpful. (PS, I don't work for Amazon... ) Currently enjoying:

Genuine Kindle come with the cheaper option of no adverts or the slightly more expensive option of adverts being removed by the factory. I don't think the ads are that intrusive tbh but each to their own...

However you could buy an ordinary tablet (my preference is Samsung) and download the kindle app for free, then log in using your usual amazon login details, you can buy/download direct from amazon and/or kindle store with no issues.

i haven't got time to sit and read, so i sit and listen to audiobooks

I used to subscribe to Audible and got 2 books a month, for a while then cancelled as i was finding it hard to find a book to listen too

Just started relistening to them, about 40 book, i can listen in the bath, in the car, on the sofa instead of watching coronation street

I find actually reading, my eyes get heavy and I fall asleep, which isn't good when driving.

I think some books are available on kindle, for free via amazon prime if your a reader Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yes we can use other devices like ipads or tablets then downloaded kindle apps to read books. However I have found that the kindle battery lasts a long time, weeks even because its sole function is an e reader where other devices will need charging more often because we use them like a computer.

I have 177gb of audiobooks, that’s 117 different folders , 1 folder per author , god knows how many book as each folder might have 1 book or some like lee child has 22 , I find it great walking the dog and listening to a book , an hour passes quickly. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

I have a generation 1 Kindle reader, battery lasts forever and it must be over 10 years old now and the small size means it fits in a jacket pocket easily. Also have the app on my Android, never seen an advert on either device. REME .. Rough Engineering Made Easy

Certainly no negative battery issues whatsoever in using an iPad to read Kindle.
It'll give many, many hours of use before even thinking about a top-up recharge.

Like every other electronic device it just needs plugged in to recharge whenever it's deemed required. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

I just take a couple of old books to the phone box in the village and swap them for 2 books from the shelves in there. At work
