I usually read with my bedroom light on (I have my own room, after all) so the light was never really a concern of mine. A bigger issue is the Paperwhite's lack of a physical home button. Since I started off with a Touch, I don't see the value of the Paperwhite to me.

That doesn't matter. To quote myself on a different thread,

I'm sure somewhere along the way you can get to a computer and swap them for new ones.
(Same logic applies to every other eReader, including the Kindle Paperwhite which has (shudder) a measly 1.5 GB and about a year's worth of books.)

Originally, I was talking about Kindle vs. Nook's memory card slot, but here too, SPACE IS NOT AN ISSUE! An ebook averages at 1MB, and you don't need more than 100 MB of memory to hold all the books the average reader will read in a year.
