The web browser on kindle paperwhite sucks! I do like it for reading as you can be in direct sunlight and read perfectly. I use my kindle fire for this site and have no problem. You can put it on a setting where the background is black and the letters are white and its not so bright. Hope this helps😁

Just buy a tablet,and install the Kindle app.

I don't have a KIndle but I have a small HP tablet that I use the Kindle app to read in bed. I always login to this site and my default setting is dark mode. I also read on Kindle app in dark mode, I also turn down the brightness to reduce glare. I do the same on my iPhone. It doesn't bother my sleeping husband at all. I also use Brave Browser on tablet and iPhone which allows settings for dark mode.

If your wife has any kind of vision issues, get her the Paperwhite. It's much easier on your eyes than reading on a tablet. The light shines across the screen and not in your eyes like a tablet. I read all the time with my guy fast asleep and the light never wakes him. This is with a normal black font on white screen. White on black is also very difficult if you have vision issues. BTW, I got the Kindle because of vision problems and it's easier on my eyes than printed books. I have a Kindle Oasis now but had a Paperwhite for years.

But don't count on it for looking at any site on the internet. It's all black and white and very slow. If she wants to do both and has no vision issues, get a tablet. The Kindle tablets are nice and not very expensive. Amazon often has sales on them and the readers too. Splurge and get her one of each if you can.

A Fire tablet has all kinds of screen adjustments. I got mine for less than $30 on sale. I put a 128GB microSD card in it, so it will hold thousands of "important" reference books, including most of the ones mentioned on here, Voat, and elsewhere over the years. Those interesting kind. I also have more microSD cards that I can swap out. You'd be amazed how many of those cards will fit in a small Altoids tin. I've also heard that you can actually hook up a hard drive to it, which, though limiting portability, would give you terabytes of storage for all your favorite red pill documentaries.

I've heard that you can also "jail break" a Fire and put your own operating system and software on it. I haven't tried that yet, but I plan to. My old one works fine for copying files to the card by computer, but Amazon disabled that ability on the newer ones. I have one that I obtained from someone, and I plan to experiment on it. If I discover anything amazing, I'll report someday. They are very much worth the money when they're on sale.

BTW, you can use various ebook readers so you don't have to get just one format. A lot of my books are scanned PDFs. With headphones plugged in, it's a good music and audiobook player.

There's also apps to watch PlutoTV and other free sources of content.

When you're not on the internet or downloading something, you can turn off the wireless and stop the ads in your games. I hate those ads.

Can you tell that I still geek out with some new tech?

if that's the real reason, turn off blue light on your device or get blue light blocking glasses.
