Proud new owner of a Kindle Paperwhite here. I had been looking for a long time regarding another eInk device, my Nook Color has been on it's last leg for a while now regarding battery life, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go another tablet route. But I wanted a light to read before bed rather than a clip on light.

Now I have always been a "Nook" guy. I bought all my books there, but I do input and convert via calibre, so it's kind of a non-issue except I liked the store front, and the device was much better once it was rooted.

But I cannot deny the simple fact that the technology being used in the paperwhite is just much better than the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight.

I do think this will be a great little device, but now I've got to convert my library to azw3 before transferring now lol

The questions I do have are regarding libraries/collection sorting and personal cloud content (not via amazon cloud):

When setting collections, do all the books still sit on the front page, or can I set it up to have just my un-catagorized books (essentially TBR) seen and others in categories that I can access?

Can I access dropbox and transfer via dropbox?
