The new kindle paperwhite
Wondering if anyone is getting this? I have the older one whether I'll get this new one I don't know. I'll see how reviews go.

No I won't be getting this as o have the voyage which is superior to the new paper white. However I think it's a good upgrade for anyone with a first or second generation paper white or even the basic kindle or kindle keyboard.

I have Paperwhite 2, I am not getting another eReader while this one is alive, I don't miss anything, screen is great, its resolution more than enough for me. Maybe if it could cook.

I have the original PW and still going strong. I also "rooted" it and use it as a wireless screen for my raspberry pi. Can't see any point in upgrading for limited additional functionality.

I have the old 3G keyboard kindle,do the newer models have backlight now?
The reason I prefer to read off of kindle than any tablet is due to no lighting it would put me off if they were all like that now. |

You can turn off the light completely. But it really isn't as a backlit LCD screen. As in the máme, it makes the screen whiter. I find it useful in the evening, I don't need an external light. My eyes are rather sensitive to LCD screens, but this is fine, no issues at all.

I've asked a few times on this forum. On your PW do you get a faint dark shadow at the bottom edge of the screen?
