I clearly prefer the Paperwhite to the touch.
I still love my DX Graphite, but I probably will take it with me less often than before Paperwhite.
I love Fire HD. But to me, it's a different beast than Paperwhite.
For pure reading, I like the little weight of Paperwhite. When reading for more than 3 hours in an instance (will read "Kiss before dying" tonight), even 50g can make all the difference.
On a trip, when having to decide for one or another, I'll probably go with the Fire HD. More options on a tablet.
But for pure reading, I find Paperwhite close to perfection. Didn't consider giving it back, not even for a second.
What do you mean even 50g can make all the difference?

What light setting do you use for the paperwhite and do you use in the dark?

My favorite is the DX because I have bigger print, but it is heavy. THe Paperwhite is extremely lightweight. Where the 4 lights are on the bottom does make it difficult for me to see the page number/percentage.
