    The e-ink is a plus! Easier on the eyes than a regular tablet.

    Reading electronic books are great. You can read books on your phone, your computer, your tablet. Unfortunately, none of those work well in bright sunlight. The Paper White makes reading in bright sunlight possible. :)

    There is nothing else left on the eink market anyway but the Amazon Kindle. It still doesn't support epub format of course, Amazon doesn't like competition. It is built OK, moderately cheap plastic, but no squeaking at least. Contrast is OK, I had Nook and it is on par. I can't imagine how bad the regular Kindle would be though. This one with 300 dpi is just OK. Scrolling is fast enough, it has integrated vocabulary. No home menu or other physical buttons though, besides the home Kindle one - the UI is not completely responsive when you try to go to your Library, instead home brings you to Amazon Kindle page, where you are overwhelmed with advertisement. My biggest dislike is the volume of advertisement and thus the convoluted interface. It is WAY worse then Nook, which is much more reading-centric. A lot of cheap and free books are available on Amazon, especially with Prime membership. It can be linked to public library for ebooks as well.

    I prefered reading actual books over reading digitally, because the screen made my eyes hurt. However, the kindle paperwhite isn't designed like a regular digital reader, it so different. I could read it for hours and my eyes won't hurt.

    I love the fact I can have one device to keep all my books in one spot. The books recommended to me by my history is just handy enough to be dangerous. I find more books and series I would have otherwise have never known about.

    I absolutely LOVE the Kindle Paperwhite. The battery life is great - reading a half hour to an hour a day it lasts 2-3 weeks. Screen backlight is very easy on the eyes and adjustable in brightness. This is one of my best tech purchases.

    This was actually a gift for a family member. Maybe one day I'll cave in and buy one to play around with. Otherwise a good little tablet you can carry around in place of books!!
