If you (or someone you know) has a Kindle paperwhite, what are the likes and dislikes?
I just want to read books, I dont want a tablet that will surf the internet, I'm on the computer enough as it is and my iphone can keep me connected when I'm not on my work or home pc.

I would like to hear too. I had an older Kindle what had the key pad on it and loved it. I don't want a Fire or anything with the color screen I like the original screens. BUT I would like to have the Text to Speech option. Is that on the Kindle Paperwhite???

I have a Kindle 2. It will light up. It has the keypad. It has the text to speech option. You can download books from anywhere with whispersync. I also have a kindle fire. I like both for different reasons. On bright days I like the Kindle 2. I will also plug my Kindle 2 into my car radio and let it read to me. The voice is a bit mechanical but it's better than paying $30 for the same book just to have it in a human voice. I'd rather pay like 5 and have it read to me on there. I read on my Fire at night or when I want to switch back and forth from reading to media.

I got Wes one for Christmas last year. He likes it. I like it because you can see the screen in sunlight, but can still read in the dark. I have a Nook tablet and it sucks in sunlight. I don't know how to put books on the kindle that are not formatted for kindle, but I think it's possible.
