Had a wander into Waterstones on Sat in Bristol to visit their new kindle "stand" and was so impressed with the new Paperwhite The light is a fantastic feature as it really does make the screen stand out and the screen resolution is excellent. I have the previous generation kindle keyboard 3G but am so tempted to buy the new paperwhite as I notice a great difference. As I get older of course my eyesight is not as strong but I have noticed that I do not actually need glasses when reading the paperwhite....I thought that as part of the promotion in Waterstones they were going to include some free ebooks to tempt us all to buy a kindle via them? I am sure there was a post on this forum to that affect? or has this offer been removed?

I've also switched from the Kindle Keyboard 3G to the Paperwhite and the light makes such a difference. I now regularly read in bed in the dark with the paperwhite brightness on No1 or 2. My only niggle with the PW is the light at the very bottom of the screen isn't a consistent light and there are a few darker sections which is I find a little distracting ![]() |

I'm not sure how much I'll use it though. I'm struggling to find the time to read these days. The light is amazing though. Not sure I'm pleased with the £30 case though. Think it's going back..
