    Nothing replaces a real book, but this comes close. I am a student and I know the benefits of having a real print book in front of you. I also travel alot and this is where the Kindle comes in clutch. I use it for personal/spiritual reading. It allows you to take notes and leave highlights in a convenient way. I would never deny a classic book in print for a Kindle version but the ease of use is undeniable.

    Absolutely amazing battery life with a non-glare screen. My only wish is that it was bigger so I didn't have to turn the pages quite so often.

    Wife loved it!

    My wife always said she didn't want one of these electronic readers, she preferred the real thing. I took a chance and got this one for her for Christmas. She was initially skeptical, but gave it a fair chance. Now she really likes it! She picked out a nice cover for it on her own. I think the thing that sold the Paperwhite was the small form factor, and the page white display, unlike reading something on a tablet. Although it will never replace the feel of a real book in hand, it is very compact for travelling and will be something she will use as an addition to her vast library.
