Am I a spendthrift ?
I own a Kindle 3 (The grey keyboard one) and a Nexus 7 2013, and I've been happily using both of them for reading.
Now I find myself craving for a Kindle Paperwhite but I feel a bit guilty, owning already two well functioning devices May you please encourage me in pulling the trigger for it ? |

Go for it! The Nexus is not easy enough on the eyes, and the Kindle 3 doesn't have a frontlight for reading in bed. You don't just want that Paperwhite, you need it.

Kindle 3 is old. It might give up the ghost any minute now. Buy the Paperwhite as fast as you can!

Brilliant mate. But remember, a new toy does not need justification. It is its own reward!

The front light is exactly what I used to convince myself that moving from the K3 to the PW was a 'justifiable' upgrade.... handy for bedtime reading but more so for reading in the dull & dreich west of Scotland daylight we get approximately two thirds of the year.

My husband loves his Paperwhite 2. At night I eyeball it - hoping to steal it. Much easier on the eyes than my iPad. I would sell your Kindle 3 and get the paperwhite 2 - might help "ease" your conscience. I sold our 4 year old Sony 650 on this forum. You never know.

I think anyone who can swing it should get the Voyage over the Paperwhite.

Both the Glo and the PW 2 have 1024x768 resolution (212 ppi). People have said they don't notice a difference between the PW2 and the Voyage screen, but I can't understand how that would be the case. |

Now, I'm really interested in the Kobo Glo HD. With the same resolution of the Voyage, but a much lower price, I just might end up owning one of those. |
