That's good advice. I bought the new PaperWhite and the Libra 2 and I do all my reading on the PaperWhite. Of all the reasons not to buy the PaperWhite, the sharpness of the screen would be the last reason I'd come up with. It has a beautiful screen and is super responsive and has the best battery life of any e-reader I've ever owned. I'll probably keep the Libra 2 as a backup, unless Amazon releases a new Oasis and then I might reconsider--especially if the Oasis has a decent battery.

If you're relying on reviews of the PaperWhite that you read on this site, you should keep in mind that this is not a Kindle-friendly crowd, for one reason or another. (Some don't like Amazon on principle, and others feel very comfortable installing patches so they can finely tune their reading experience.)
