I have a basic Kindle (pre-Paperwhite Kindle Touch).

it using the send to function.
Yes, it has a browser, and I could do gmail from it. But it would be

What I like is that it is essentially a single-function device. Everything
else--computer,
I love my Kindle Paperwhite (the difference in resolution from the base is
a BIG difference). I tried for years to read via my iPad or iPhone, but
reading on an illuminated screen is tiring on the eyes and I never got far.
I read all the time now on the Kindle, and take it with me bikepacking
