I read Wuthering Heights on the Kindle, the iPad, and the hard cover book, at the same time. I expected the Kindle to be better than the iPad - it is lighter and 'should be' better. But after hours of reading, on all 3 formats, the annoying features of the Kindle kill that experience: there's a reason it costs $75: uncomfortable to hold, annoying flashing screen with every page turn, annoying highlight feature, multiple clicks to change brightness, multiple clicks to change books, and the so called "paperwhite" is in fact a dull fuzzy grey white, even though the resolution is the same as an iPad. Compare a Kindle screen to an iPad and the Kindle looks like a dinosaur. Use the iPad Kindle app before making a decision. Kindle is great software but Kindle hardware is not.

It met all my expectations. I would prefer color but how it currently is works fine.
