My Paperwhite "broke" my DXG
I used to love reading on my Kindle Keyboard; replaced it with a Paperwhite, ordered on release day. Haven't really touched my DXG since. Needed to read some rather lengthy documents for work this week, so I took in the DXG and printed the documents to PDF to read on its bigger screen.

I can't believe how horribly dingy and dull the DXG screen looks now. It used to be beautiful and amazing... now, I can hardly stand to look at it!

Why not read them on your iPad? It's a far better PDF reader than the Kindle.

That how I feel about my other Kindles. I don't even know why I keep them backup I guess.

I feel the same way. I did rebuy a Touch after selling mine due to it having speakers/audio, and double the storage. I use it by sending all books to it as a backup to the Amazon cloud so as not to loose any books.

Guess I'll sell or give the K4B as a gift since I no longer use it at all. They have come out with the TPU covers for the PW now, so I use it all the time.

Because I was trying to avoid reading on LCD [might as well just use my laptop in that case] and I get in trouble for "stealing it" since it's in such high demand at home. :-) [and here I thought it was *MY* birthday present!]
