After getting every iteration of the kindle, and several non-kindle tablets, I am even more in love with my paperwhite. The distractibility of the tablet kills it as a reader, as well as the battery life. I like the idea of a single purpose device. I am actually getting rid of my smartphone and going back to a phone that just makes calls. I find I forget to charge my smartphone, and the darn company charges $40 a month just to have it. But a tablet only costs $10 a month. I bought wi-fi only tablets (7" and 10"), but there is wi-fi everywhere. And I have a blackberry for work emails, so who cares if the spam on my personal email has to wait until the end of the day to reach me? I think more and more people will get sick of these multiple use devices. Just give me a one-purpose device that does one thing very, very well - paperwhite.
