I had to check out A Gentleman From Moscow in hardcover as my audio was yanked away. I cannot believe how difficult it is to read around my cat who likes to lay on my chest and put her face about an inch from mine. I am seriously hooked on my Kindle.

Can you still get regular a Kindle (non-Paperwhite)? (I'm not sure they have them anymore.) Did you try turning the light off completely?

Maybe the Kindle HDX or Kindle Fire would work for you. They are more like iPads, more like a TV screen.

Yes, I'm thinking about that. I'm hoping someone will let me try reading theirs first. Also, I will try the paperwhite one more time in case it was a coincidence (it's possible I was going to get one anyway from something else). But not this one since it's not 3G.
Okay, here is my final decision--the old fashioned kind that has no light of its own. It's going to arrive this week. Today, someone gave me a Nook she'd given her late mother that is the same style, so I'll be able to get books from both places!
