1. I'm assuming that it's not waterproof (not a huge deal but would have been nice).
2. Does it have the magnetic cover wake feature? If so, can you turn it off in software? My Paperwhite (now without a cover) will turn on if my glasses case (which has a magnet) touches it the right way which is annoying and unfortunately I can't turn it off in software.
3. Can you sideload your own apk apps? I wouldn't exactly trust their Google Play app or sideload store but could very easily export the apk for the apps that I want off my phone.
Thanks!

1. not waterproof
2. yes, has magnet cover feature.
3. yes, you can sideload apps. I just download apks from the net, but you can activate the playstore, though you might need to mess around a bit.
Disadvantages compared to Kindle are lower battery life, and also contrast maybe not quite as good? But it's okay. Also Poke has nice orange light. It's a good reader. Recommended.
