My first justification for having excessive readers!

I had a kindle8 and Paperwhite 3 side by side. Same ebook, WiFi and light turned off. Repeated tests showed that the Paperwhite lagged slightly behind the kindle8 in page turns. I think you would notice it if you had a lot of illustrations, but for your every day novel, not likely. The lag is slight.

With the new bolding feature (on both units), the DPI probably won't make a difference. So it is really a choice between having light feature or not.

I should add that I only have a dozen books on each reader. If I had 1000, my results could be different. I'll try putting 1000 on my k8 and report back when it is done indexing.
