    The light is the best part

    I have a kindle and love it, however it doesn't have a light and I can't read while a passenger when traveling or at night when my husband is sleeping unless I have another light source. That is why I bought the Paperwhite. The problem is that the pages turn differently than the regular kindle and it is harder for me to use. Also, when I use the touchscreen to turn the pages sometimes I hit a word that leads me to a definition or a footnote instead. Sometimes when I use the touchscreen to turn a page, it takes me far ahead and then I have trouble getting back to where I was.

    I like to read on kindle and prefer paper-white because of its background built-in light.

    To be clear, this is not a tablet. It's a reader... Just a reader. But it's a great reader. Very tactile.

    The paperwhite is much easier to read because of the white background and the larger display.
