Friend asks:
Gonna buy a Kindle Paperwhite… 3G? no 3G? Ads? No ads?
I bought the cheapest one, with ads, and have been totally happy.
And I was picky before. I only bought one Kindle prior to that, and it was the generation immediately before the Paperwhite. The cheapest one, not the Touch. It was okay, but lack of readability without light put a serious damper on my hamper.
The Paperwhite is perfect form and function. Steve Jobs was right about buttons, and Bezos took a cue from him.
The ads only show up when you are not using it. How brilliant is that? I give them even more consideration than other ads because they don’t get in my way even a tiny iota.
I think the Kindle Fire is a decent device, but its limitations make it overpriced.
