Would you recommend amazon Kindle?

Honestly: no. If you're not a huge fan of eBooks, it's not something you'll find worthy of the price. I have the Amazon Kindle app on both my iPad and iPhone, using it freely, it's just perfect. Just rip eBooks from online libraries and voila, you haven't spent a dime on reading. I often find myself even reading on my iPhone 6s, it's not annoying or anything, as it may seem on that small screen. You get used to it very easily.

I think eReaders are overrated af. You could easily get a regulartablet with the same dimensions for a similar reading experience. You could read on there AND do other stuff like gaming, browsing.

So, to the app: YES. I love the Kindleapp. To the Paperwhite: no. You implied you're not a diehard bookworm; Paperwhite wouldn't be worth it.

Anyway, if I didn't convince you, you could always just look up reviews on YouTube. That can give you a general idea of what the user experience is like.
