Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start by saying that I am an avid reader and iPad user. I am and always have been extremely loyal to my iPads. In fact, I have two iPads...and iPad mini and an iPad with retina display. Both of my iPads are amazing in their own right and the one with retina display even more so. I used the iPad mini to read because of its convenient size in comparison with my larger iPad. However, reading on them in any kind of daylight is a challenge and not visually comfortable in the least. So I decided to purchase the Kindle Paperwhite. I was initially concerned about the lighting complaints I was reading about on the original Paperwhite so I was undecided. I was thrilled when I learned that Amazon was releasing a new version of their Paperwhite. I ordered it immediately. I AM HOOKED! For reading, there is absolutely no comparison. Even my super retina display iPad doesn't come close. I have started to neglect my poor little iPads and take my Kindle Paperwhite everywhere I go. The resolution is amazing. You can see it crisply and clearly in any type of lighting. You can adjust the screen lighting to your desired brightness. It is light and easy to hold. I have small hands and holding it is not an issue because of how light it is. It can be held so comfortably that I don't even want to put it in a case...even though I know I should protect it. It is absolutely perfect in every way. The lighting is not streaky or blotchy as others have mentioned with their original Paperwhite. It has actually made me want to read more. I have the version with the advertisements and they do not hinder at all while reading. They simply come up on your screen if your Kindle is left dormant and can be made to disappear with a mere flick of your finger. It is amazing and as far as I am concerned...the best e-reader out there!
