I love my paperwhite, I can read in bed and not disturb my husband, its great for reading in bright sunlight. I had the original but the screen got damaged, which is why I bought the paperwhite and its so much better. I have a Samsung tablet and my kindle syncs to the tablet which means if I'm readin my kindle in bed and leave it upstairs, if I want to read downstairs I just pick up my tablet, tap the app and it automatically goes to the same page.
