Eater's Editor in Chief on Her Travel Essentials — and the Restaurant App You Need

Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) ($160)

"Because I read all day long for work, it's even more important to me that I find time to read for pleasure. I never travel without a few books loaded on my Kindle," Wu says, sharing that her current reading list includes Alison Espach's "The Wedding People," Kevin Kwan's "Lies and Weddings," and her friend Samhita Mukhopadhyay's "The Myth of Making It."

The model of this particular Kindle is considered the brand's fastest-ever, with a seven-inch glare-free display and weeks of battery life. You can shop it in black, jade, or raspberry shades.
