I transitioned from a Kindle to an iPad. It just works better and you can get refurbished older iPads with an excellent OLED screen and warranty for less than a new Kindle in most cases.
refurbished older iPads with an excellent OLED screen
The only iPads with OLED screens are the current generation of iPad Pro with the M4 chip. Every other iPad is an LCD screen (very good LCD, with deep blacks and very good local dimming, but still LCD).
Paperwhite is actually Amazon branding. E-Ink is a brand as well, owned by the E Ink Corporation. The generic name would be electronic paper or e-paper.

Ah. I thought Retina was marketing speak for OLED. I stand corrected.
Retina is marketing speak for “pixels small enough to be individually indistinguishable by the human eye at proper viewing distances.”
For anyone stumbling along. “Retina display” is their marketing speak for higher pixel density than “average”.
Yeah but the goal of a ereader is to not have to read on a normal screen but on something that look more like paper
Oh, you mean paperwhite ereaders. You can get those too. Android based.
(Pedantry incoming)

Edit: Clarity.
Not entirely true. E-ink is trademarked by the e-ink company, sole manufacturer of e-ink displays.

That part isn’t Amazon-related.
I meant its branding, not Amazon owned, I should clear that up though it is misleading as written.
