But then you have to read on a lid screen which for me, sucks. I spend at least 8 hours a day looking at a screen, lat thing I want to do is read on one.The Paperwhite is a lovely device and the look and feel of it is about as close as it gets to reading an actual paper book without the real thing.
But honestly, I think it's hard to recommend an e-reader. I have one and never use it because there's a Kindle app on my phone and tablet that gives me full access to all of my purchased content from Amazon.
