Yeah. I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I do find it a somewhat more book-like experience than reading on my phone or Tablet and that is a good thing.

I am amazed at all the people who don't mind the might lesser batter life of a phone. That has me running for the eReader as much as anything. I can only read on my phone for an hour, maybe two before the battery dies. I don't want my choice of reading spot to be dictated by the need for a plug-in and I'd rather save the phone's battery life for checking my email, finding directions to someplace, texting, or phone calls.

Also, what kind of phones are you reading on? I have a Galaxy S3. That is a pretty big phone. Even so, the screen of the Kindle PW or that of the Kobo WiFi that I gave to a friend are much better sized and proportioned for reading, before we even get into the eInk v. LCD thing, the greater distractions on phones and tablets, etc.

A nice, big LCD tablet with color is still better for graphic novels/comic books and I have a 10'' Acer and use it for those but a little eInk reader is the best device for reading a novel.
