    Very convenient way to obtain reading materials, display is clear and easy to use even in direct sunlight. Did find it very slippery and took extra precautions not to drop it.

    It's a kindle, at this point, it is basically a utility and not an electronic gizmo. It works with all the regular libraries that I am a member of. The paperwhite is the best value proposition. Yes, it does show advertisements when you aren't reading but, well, you aren't reading, so who cares what it shows, as long as it saves you $20 over a version that doesn't show any ads?

    I really enjoy this e-reader because the screen looks great and it is quick. The amazon ecosystem is pretty good too. Only thing I would change about it is to open it up to reading e-pub files. Otherwise, it’s great.
