The Kindle Paperwhite is a vast improvement upon the previous generation Kindle Touch. Almost everything the Touch did wrong (too thick, bland color, low resolution screen, slow software) the Paperwhite does right. The only thing Amazon hasn't added that I wish they had are page turn buttons, however, since they haven't done it at this point, it seems unlikely that they ever will. That qualm aside, with Amazon's ecosystem, this device is far and away the best e-reader on the market right now.
