Should I buy a Kindle or read on my phone?

Whether you should buy a Kindle or just read on your phone mostly comes down to how much you read and how much you value a reading-focused device.

If you only read occasionally or in short bursts, your phone is the easiest option because it’s already with you and doesn’t cost anything extra. If you read for longer sessions or want a device that’s simpler to use for books, a Kindle is often the better choice. Its E-ink screen is generally easier to read in bright light than a typical phone screen, and many people prefer it for long reading sessions. Kindles also don’t have the same built-in distractions as a phone, since they’re designed primarily for reading.

A good rule of thumb: phone for casual reading, Kindle for serious reading.

If you’re unsure, ask yourself: do you want the cheapest, most convenient option, or do you want the better dedicated reading experience?
