Yes, Blossom, you are lucky to have a good PW1. Mine was not so good, or I would have kept it. I loved all the hacks I had on it.
But the blotchy light was really bothering me. So I traded it for the PW2. It is much nicer, but I hardly ever use it, (probably because I have a lot of readers). If it was as small as my Kobo Glo, I would definitely use it more. But if I want something that big, I'll reach for my Nook HD.
The advantage of the Nexus you just bought is, it's even lighter than my Nook HD. And has a higher resolution. So, that makes it a very good choice for an ereader. One of these days, I hope to get to a store and handle one. I'd love to compare it to my Nook. I don't think I'll get one though, because I do like the SD card slot in my Nook.
I am
so glad I decided against the new Fires.
