And for people who used Paperwhite, is it really worth it? Or just the simples kindle is the way to go?
Thanks guys!

I will ask a couple of quick questions.
Where do you read?
What is your budget?
Does your teacher mean that they will give you the ebooks or loan them to you?
Now if you really want a kindle,
You can convert in Calibre, your epubs.
You can also get books from other places. Most have the kindle format.
Project Gutenberg usually has at least 3 formats for their books.
Note some of their books are better to read than others. It depends on who proofread the book.
The Patricia Clark Library here on Mobileread also has several formats. Those books have been proofread very well.
Smashwords is the same way on the formats.
Also some author sites give you a choice of format unless they are exclusive to Amazon.
I hope this helps.
Contrary to some beliefs, you are not stuck buying ebooks from Amazon if you own a kindle.
