It's only an issue if you have a need to read ePub books (obviously). Every book that's available as ePub is also available in Kindle format.

True but irrelevant.

- unable to expand the storage (can't decide if this is an issue or not?)

Not an issue. The Kindle can store 3000+ normal-size eBooks. This should be sufficient for most people.

- I haven't found any reviews or discussions about the menu system on the Kindle - can you search for a certain book? Does it order books by author or title or both? Can you group books by series? Can you mark a book off as "read"?
|
1. Yes, you can search, and this will return matches on authors, titles, and text within a book.
2. You can order by author or title.
3. No ordering by series, but you can have "Collections". These are tags, so you can have a collection for each series if you wish.
4. You could add a "Read" collection, and put a book in that collection once you've finished it. Alternatively, you could simply delete the book.

- Does anyone have the cover with the light in it? Does it add a lot to the overall weight? Would you recommend it (when travelling, I'm often in poor light, not an issue with the iphone, but I imagine it will be an issue with e-ink)?
|
The lighted cover works beautifully. I love it.

- Do you find the buttons for turning a page convenient? Is it very noisy?

It works fine. Not "noisy" in the least.
