A new Kindle might just be the reading slump cure I’ve been needing

It’s almost tough to remember now, but a little over a decade ago, most people didn’t want to read on smartphones or (conventional) tablets. Many phones — like the iPhone 4s — were still under the six-inch mark, which left little room for a page of text, never mind an illustration in a graphic novel. It was possible to fix that by buying a tablet, but iPads were still relatively thick and heavy, and even the Nexus 7 still had the problem of burning your eyes out in a dim room.
