I'm sure you'll get a lot of strong opinions on this. I decided to acquire my first ebook reader a few weeks ago - prior to that I was doing my reading on first an iPad 3 then a Nexus 7. I bought the Paperwhite, and while I love the form-factor since I can easily one-hand it, and the grippy feel of the back, the screen was horribly uneven. From what I've read, this is typical. Ordered the Kobo Aura, received it yesterday, and I absolutely love it. The lighting is perfect, and the text is significantly sharper and clearer than the Paperwhite. The only downside is that it isn't easy to one-hand it, at least with my smallish hands.
