Whoo-boy.

Adding: Kindle ebook reader also upgrading, though I wonder about the white background. I am kind of partial to the grey.

...that is my only compliant. I wans't tempted by the Kindle Touch because I love my Kindle keyboard and manual turning from both sides of the screen (that does irritate me, actually, that with the touches, you can't do it all with one finger from either hand and weirdly, I prefer reading while holding it in my left hand. I really wish they'd left the manual controls at least for page turning.

I hear you get used to the swipey-page-turniness of the KTouch quickly; I admit I didn't give it much of a chance when I bought one. I haaaated the lack of buttons and mourned the loss of my 78 ebook categories. I returned it the next day and bought the Sony T1.

Whenever I see the brilliant Paperwhite screen, I just have to remind myself that my T1 has:
- page turn buttons right where a thumb can reach (one handed reading, yay subway)
- category support, both in calibre AND bulk edit on device, which is frankly a miracle
- format support (and thank you calibre / apprenticealf for the awz3 -> epub conversion)
- page numbers (::eyerolling forever:: Really AMZ? really?)
- SD card (for my headphones/reading music)
- my own screensaver images (my dog, yes I am shallow)

I can live with a slight delay to my reading gratification since any AMZ books need to be de-DRMed for my T1, but eh, there is also a million fanfics so yay!
