The new blue shade is awesome!

I have to say that if my Mom even THOUGHT about going back to paper books, her recent unplanned sojourn to care for a family member for just shy of 6 weeks sold her (original plan was ONE week). She only had an hour or so to pack and head out. I had about 60 books on her Paperwhite to read. The light helped her (poor lighting there) and she read 15 or 16 books. She's made a large list of books to add to her reader just in case she has to go back. So, always make sure you have extras just in case plans go awry.
Now, she does have about 15 paperbacks to grab if she has to go unexpectedly somewhere and doesn't want to take her ereader, but this is what is left unread that I bought at garage sales for her. They just get donated when she's done.
