I have found the visuals much more enhanced on the Kindle. I can enlarge any detail of the pictures on screen. I can't do that with a page from a book. I have several Kindle Fire 8, they are usually about $40, good for books and internet, good for the grands to use when here. I have the bigger Kindle Fire 10 for watching movies and quilt tutorials. My husband likes the Paperwhite Kindle for reading. We have several of the older versions and they still work great but no wi fi, only download books from Amazon. Open a drawer in my house and you'll probably find a Kindle. I keep one in the car so I always have a book on hand if stuck somewhere.
