I bought the first generation Kindle when they were first released. It's likely still around somewhere but I can't put my hands on it. I read a book now and then on my tablet but the battery drains before I'm ready to stop reading. They say that the glare from a tablet could cause a problem with going to sleep which I suffer greatly from and need not contribute to the problem. I checked into Audible but the price of the service is more than I want to subscribe to. So, long story short, I'm considering the purchase a new Kindle. From reviews the Oasis seems to be the model to purchase with the Paperwhite model being the second to consider. I plan to read a lot now that I've retired from one of my jobs. I'm seeking advice from those I respect. (AF family) Any hands on experience with either of these models? Are the ad supported models over run with BS. There is a considerable difference in pricing between ad supported and ad free models. I truly appreciate any guidance on my upcoming purchase.
