Last year I bought a regular Kindle 7th gen. I love it a lot, but I eventually found myself wishing I had bought a PW instead. The reviews of the paperwhite over all seem better than when it was first launched, and I do enjoy reading in bed. (which I mostly do using my phone or tablet at my bedside).

Every month or so, our family buys stuff from amazon. Today we used our last "spare" USB cord and wanted to order more to have on hand. So, while reordering the cords, I did my usual browse and was delighted to see they had a little promotional sale knocking $20 off the price, which worked out to most of what I had saved up for that purpose!

So now, I have de-registered my 7th gen, since my husband wanted one anyway! I am actually very excited about getting this. The last time I saw one in person was when Staples (Canada) was still selling them (which they don't anymore) and I looked at it and thought it was quite nice looking.

While I am late in the game for getting a "new" paperwhite", I am glad I held out. I usually like to let the dust settle on the initial phase of anything so I can make a decision after reading various reviews from those who have gone before me.

To the mods, I hope I've posted this to the right forum. It seemed to be more of a "general" post, even if it is about a specific model. If it is not, I apologize in advance for any extra work I may have created for you.
