What's my secret to surviving my weekly commute on the NYC Subway? Easy. My Kindle Paperwhite.
I have lived in New York City for nearly seven years and during that time have moved all across Brooklyn. The only thing that has never changed is my dreaded MTA commutes -- and my love for reading.

Read on the go this summer with the latest Kindle Paperwhite iteration. The sleek eReading device comes in several colors and gives you access to millions of books across every genre in minutes!

I spend roughly seven hours a week minimum commuting on the MTA with no service, at times, body-to-body congestion, and near constant delays. It almost became unbearable, that is, until I bought my very first Kindle!
My Kindle has quickly become my favorite accessory with endless books and cute exterior customizations such as PopSockets and stickers!
As an avid reader (who, like most, finds they NEVER have time to read!), my Kindle has quickly become not only my subway escape but my favorite daily accessory. It is rare to find me without it stashed in my purse from office days to late-night drinks with friends.
My 45-minute commute into Manhattan was once the bane of my existence, but thanks to my Kindle, I have been able to change my perspective. Now, my commute is one of the best parts of my day because it allows me uninterrupted time to really sit down and enjoy my books.
What makes the Kindle Paperwhite so convenient is its endless versatility. Although I am a hardcore hardcopy reader, my Kindle has opened up new ways to indulge in my stories that are more space savvy, affordable, and accessible!
I take my Kindle everywhere with me, even outside of the Big Apple. Given its compact, thin design, I have been able to travel with it seamlessly. It fits right in my carry-on, and the self-adjusting screen makes reading on planes hassle-free.
Kindle Unlimited lets you read so many books from the touch of a button and it costs less than $30 a month.
Other Kindle readers feel the same, with one saying: 'Whether I'm at the beach, in bed, or on a plane, it is the perfect reading companion. No distractions, just books!'
The newest model of the Kindle features unbeatable innovations such as faster performance, glare-free screen use, up to 12 weeks of reading per charge, and adjustable day-to-night lighting.
No matter where you are, from the MTA to the beach, your Kindle keeps up seamlessly, and there is no stress about getting the pages wet because this eReader is waterproof!
Bonus! Using nifty accessories like the Strapsicle you can make reading ergonomically conscious for the first time ever.
The Kindle Store has millions of books to choose from, from romance to mystery, and everything is at the tips of your fingers (literally). Since purchasing my Kindle, I have been able to read a full book a week, nearly every week, just from using it while on my daily commutes!
If you are someone who loves reading, hates the subway, or BOTH -- having a Kindle at your side truly is life-changing. I got my Kindle Paperwhite in the adorable Raspberry color, but you can explore it in many others, including the classic black.
