Clara BW

Kobo clara bw. It might be more expensive than the kindle basic but it's waterproof and has warm light and the kindle basic doesn't have those. You might also wait a couple of days and see if it will get any discounts.

The kobo clara bw is waterproof and has warm light. Kindle basic has neither.

Not sure why people rave about the Xteink X4. It's an interesting enthusiast's device, but it doesn't even have a frontlight. I wouldn't recommend it as Baby's First E-Reader.

I actually went and took side-by-side photos of my 2012 Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight and Kobo Clara BW, with the lights off and lights on. Unfortunately, I can't post

Whatever you get, if you don't often read comics, get a black and white device, because the screen will be crisper and the contrast more pronounced. Color devices are greyish. I would go for a Kobo Clara BW if you like the size. If you are looking for something bigger, there doesn't seem to be a cle
