honestly, i resisted the jump to the Kindle too, but i absolutely love my Paperwhite. reading at any angle in any lighting at any time with zero on-device distractions is a game changer. so is having several hundred books on a device the size of a picture frame. so is being able to change the font, kerning, spacing, and margins. also, i'll never have to move close to 2 tons of dead tree whenever i move house. I actually think the Paperwhite is the best kindle for pure reading.

Yeah, I agree. I was convinced I wouldn't like it because I didn't want to "plug in" to read, but the battery life is so insanely long that it's a non-issue. I still prefer the smell and feel of an actual book, but all the benefits you listed vastly outweigh that for me. Having a library in my pocket/bag is a very a comforting feeling for me. And since I travel for work it has lightened my luggage significantly!
