I bought this Paperwhite to replace an aging Kindle 3 that worked mostly through a push button and keyboard. I did not have to move my hand to turn a page. This “touchscreen model requires the use of two hands at all times to use it. The touch screen is quite sensitive and the smallest unintentional touch either turns a page, turns a page the wrong direction, invokes highlights, Wikipedia or a dictionary whether intended or not. I liked my old model a whole lot more. That said, having an illuminated screen is nice.

My Nook was unavailable to me temporarily and I purchased the Kindle Paperwhite reader. I was disappointed in screen brightness on the Kindle. I found organizing and sorting my reading materials a little confusing. For the cost I expected more.
