    More than 8 months of use and all is well. I purchased this for my wife, who enjoys reading immensely. Since then she has been very quiet in the evenings after work while reading as if it is her job. I enjoy her being quiet, therefore, I enjoy this gadget immensely as well. As they say, quiet wife happy life, or however that goes. No?

    Would like to give a 3.5 - got for 99$ with no ads

    I want to rate it 3.5 but best buy lets me rate it 3 or 4, nothing in between. Similarly I see no point in upgrading from an old paperwhite until you really want a 300 ppi display. Kindle Paperwhite is good but not much has changed over the years, if you plan to upgrade over the old one think if it is worth spending. A paperwhite with 3G goes up towards 180-200 USD, I would rather invest the money on a tab. If you are sticking with the base version as I brought (99 USD - no ads), then its a good deal.
