I have a Paperwhite 2 now. I was very happy with my PW1 but I wanted another 3G one so I got the PW2 with 3G some time back while they were still available.
I was kind of eager to get it because of the Page Flip feature, which was something I thought I'd use a lot. And I do use it and like it.
But rotating between my 3 Paperwhites as I do I've come to realize that I really don't care enough about the new features to prefer the new one. It's very nice but not enough nicer than the old one to really care. I'm glad I got it because I wanted 2 3G PW's but that's about it.
There is a slight down-side to the new PW as well. It's just a little bit more complicated to use. The new bookmark feature, a feature I really do like, makes me think about it instead of just using it without taking my attention away from the book. This isn't a big enough issue to make me wish it wasn't there but it is big enough that I don't really care that much. I'm just as happy, all in all, with the old bookmarks.
