    I have had this Kindle Paperwhite for a bit now, and in general I like it, but it has one glaring issue that I have seen occur on several occasions. I have had this device show 70 percent battery or a little more, and have come back to use it a couple of days later, to find it completely dead. The battery will do fine for a couple of weeks, and this happens again. I just don't understand how a battery can go from 70% to dead in two days of standby, with no wifi or bluetooth connections in use.

    I bought this for my GF who reads a lot. She likes it but she still prefers to have a physical copy of the book in front of her.

    Pretty good reader, a little lag but bearable. Lighting is good as well. The ads is not an issue at all, to me, an actual ad vs a screensaver looks like an ad are not so different.
