My Kindle is one of the oldies and while I’ve thought about replacing it with the Paperwhite, I’ve held off because it really is perfect for beach or poolside reading. No glare and no problem reading it in the brightest sun, particularly while lounging on my chair on Mullet or poolside at BSV or El Zafiro. I bought the cover with the built in light for night time reads but I don’t know if it’s still available. And the big plus - it’s so very old that if it were to fall into the pool AGAIN, forcing me to purchase a new one, it wouldn’t break my heart!

Another vote for the Paperwhite! My wife has an original Kindle and I have the second iteration of the Paperwhite. Her old Kindle is having trouble now holding a charge, so we will be replacing it shortly (before our next trip to SXM) with the newest Paperwhite. She loves the more evenly back-lit screen and the lighter weight of the Paperwhite. These e-readers are ideal for what they are designed for: reading, whether in bright sun on the beach or around the pool, or in bed at night if one of us can't sleep. We have our laptop/tablet/phones for accessing anything else.
