Somewhat reluctantly (bit of a luddite I guess) looking into getting a Kindle but have no great knowledge/understanding of the offering.
I'm basically looking for an easy way to read books especially in the evening and not keen on using the iPad app because of battery life and wanting to cut down on staring at screens before sleeping.
How well do the LEDs work for night reading and how "blue" are they? My side lamp is a bit annoying for my girlfriend so would love to be able to read off of the device alone quite dimly but I see only the Paperwhite has the "warm light" function. Also, how annoying are the ads in the non ad-free version? And finally, is the Kobo a good option or are there older gen models I should consider picking up for cheap second hand?
Phew - sorry for the few questions and thanks in advance!
