You know perfectly well what I mean about the choice of your adjectives.

Thus my advice: anyone who finds the default Kindle reading firmware onerous, or finds converting EPUB ==> AZW3 intolerable, should not buy a Kindle Paperweight.
I asked you when? You reply me: never, don't buy a Paperwhite. If you are coherent, you should ask MobileRead to delete this controversial Kindle Koreader forum, which says that Koreader is "native" to Kindle as it clearly entice future users to perform "unwise" actions of this kind.

I bought the Kindle because it has been reported to have an excellent hardware. I did not care about its software because I did hope (see above) that I could use a good alternative. BTW I see that you wisely dropped your "featureful" argument... For the time being, as my Kobo Glo is working well, I do not need the Paperwhite 3. I did test it however in the very first days and it's not difficult at all to convert some books. Just an unpleasant and for me useless chore. Should my Glo fail, I would probably use the Kindle this way, until I get a new replacement.

My only grief with Kindle is not price nor conversion, it is that it's still locked for this particular 5.6.5. firmware version. It's a jail. It's mine and it's not mine. Do you understand?
