What is the best e-reader?

[Chrissie]

I am thinking of getting a new Kindle.I loved the old one but the buttons are stuck. I too am interested in the Kindle Paperwhite. I am wondering which is the best Kindle to buy if you have poor vision.
1. Does the Paperwhite offer the same sizes of font as the older versions?
2. Is the screen very easy to read inside and outside?
3. Is this back-lit or not?
4. Does it have color?
5. How do you read the menus if you have bad vision? In the old ones they spoke to you. In this one is that how it works or can you even change font size of the menu text?
6. Could you give me the dimensions of the portion of the screen that is used to display the book text?
7. When you type is it one the screen or is it on a separate keyboard, and how big are the letters? I am wondering if I will see them.

I cannot see these in Belgium, so I would be very thankful if someone could answer these question.

I had a Nook was not thrilled with it. It did nothing and wasn't really getting any better with the new ones. I checked out the other ereaders and found for what I wanted the Kindle Fire was it. It reads to me if I want, I don't have to have a book light to read in bed without diturbing my husband. There are at least 2 sites on Face book where you can get free books of all types. One of them has 20 free books a day plus 1 discount book and a free cookbook once a day. On top of all that if you get the right cover it props the Kindle up so you have hands free reading. I have gotten much more use out of the kindle in the time I've had it. (since Christmas) than I did the whole time I had my nook.

Renee, could you answer the same questions I put in message 164. I don't know which to choose. Silly for me to repeat them all over again.....

Sure, Yes you can change the font size. ( I don't see that well either.
I suggest the 7in fire though you can change the paper color with it to what ever shade works best for you.
It does have color and it does read to you. I have had no problem with using the dash board.
The key board is kinda a problem for me, I have fat stumpy finger. I just got stylus.
It is back lit too. I hope that helps,

Thank you so much, Renee.

I love my Kobo Mini! But that's because I travel a lot and usually don't require the device itself to have any lighting.
