I just rec'd my new Kindle Paperwhite and I love it. My Kindle Keyboard is about 5 years old and the battery wasn't holding a charge well. The Paperwhite is a lot easier on the eyes and I love the touch screen. The Paperwhite is smaller (screen is the same size) and lighter weight than my original Kindle so it fits into my purse better. I paid extra so that I didn't have to deal with the "special offers" aka "ads".
