I have the original. I absolutely love it! Love the b/w screen, but I don't need the social media on mine either. I love being able to carry so many books with me, without carrying the actual books. I thought I would miss the "turning of the actual pages", but now, even when I look at a magazine, I find my thumb looking for the next page button! I love being able to search, make notes, etc. It is great for looking up Bible references!
