I've had a kindle since they came out, upgrading every few years. And it really took buying cute covers to make me as excited to read e books as I get for physical books. I upgraded a few months before the new ones were announced, but regardless of what model you get- they're great helpers to get back into reading! Plus if you have any other older kindle, you can trade it in for 20% off plus a gift card towards a new one! Covers are PageTheShop.com, who is not on LTK. But highly recommend!
