Question Kindle paperwhite (1st) or kobo touch?
I am a newbie to read a book (first time i really like to read book is yesterday ) So i want to buy a handy device to read book, but i am confusing when choosing are: Kindle paper white (1st generation-used), kindle 3,4 (non-touch) and Kobo touch (905-used).
Which one is best for life battery and display, performance? Thank you.
Sorry for my old question

I know it compare two used stuffs. But if there is new stuff, which is the best choice?
I want a new but that is my parent money, so i don't have more just 40$ to buy it .
Thank you

The Paperwhite has a front-lit screen, the Kobo Touch doesn't. The Kobo Touch compares more closely to the Kindle Touch. The Paperwhite also has a higher resolution screen (212 ppi vs 167 ppi). So the Paperwhite would probably be a better choice IF you have access to .mobi or Amazon .azw3 books. The Kobo Touch is used with ePubs (.epub).

Thanks for this answer, so if no have a light and low resolution when we read it have look like a real paper or blurry and not clear than real paper. Because i want to reduce and saving my my parent money, i think i like to read epub. So Kobo touch and kindle 3 is cheaper. I change my mind to two option, please help me choice one. Thanks

Kindle Paperwhite is nice, you will appreciate the lighted screen and you can convert your epub to read on the Kindle. Also, Amazon has the best bookstore (in my opinion).

You didn't make a bad choice.
