If you always read in a well-lit room or outside, the basic Kindle is a good choice. The lack of any layer in front of the E-Ink screen makes it nicer, IMO, even though it's only 167ppi.

Although if the difference was only $20, I'd go for the paperwhite. In the UK the difference is £40 at the moment, and is usually £60.
