I was not expecting that these would be released into the UK until the new year, time to save up and get it ordered.

I"m still in two minds about it. I'm torn now between the fire and the possible new ipad mini.
Not sure if regular kindles are my thing. I'll no doubt get one at some point but doubt I'll keep it long.

I'm also interested in a Kindle Fire HD and a possible iPad Mini but for reading eInk is definitely better for me than a glossy LCD screen. So my order is already in for a Kindle Paperwhite. I love the idea of a sharper screen thats lit.

I do too. I'm torn between them all. Maybe I'll just get them all! Smile

One feature I would like to see on the Kindle in the future is a 'tap to turn' (I made that name up) where you can tap points on the back of the reader for the page to turn. I struggled to find space for my thumb on the four. The touch was better, and with a case on perfect, however turning a page involved using another hand and when reading fast, or larger text it became something I noticed I was wishing for.

I'll be interested to hear your feedback for the paperwhite as regardless of anything i say I'll no doubt be getting one at some point. I won't be able to resist.
