I'm loving the Paperwhite - mainly because of the light. I like that the screen is easily readable in any light condition. Which means, I can sit at the opposite end of the sofa, away from the lamp, without having to strain to see the letters (or attach some book light that never seemed to work).

I didn't have a Touch before the PW, I had a non-touch K4. To be honest, I wasn't reading on it as much as I was the Kindle app on my phone. The screen was just too dark in comparison to the phone. Now? I can't wait to read on the PW and reading on the phone has been relegated to when I'm out of the house.

So, my answer to the original question is yes. I like the light, the screen clarity and the software. The page turns are quick with a simple touch of either thumb. I like the way Collections are now alphabetized, the ease with which I can put books into collections and the overall ease of use with the touch screen.

So, IMHO, Amazon hit it out of the ball park with this e-reader and I count myself as one extremely happy customer. Of course, and as always, YMMV.
