I haven’t had a whole lot of opportunity to play with the Paperwhite yet, though I did shoot an unboxing and setup video. So here I have one Kindle a few generations old, and another current, both current on firmware. Thanks to Kubrick, I can now download updates on the Touch, and the Paperwhite doesn’t have any problems in that regard either. On the principle that if I’m going to cover e-readers, I should have access to one of the latest ones, my publisher David Rothman covered the remainder of the Paperwhite’s cost, which was pretty nice of him.

I saved $20 over regular price, and then another $20 thanks to the promotional offer Amazon gave me when my Touch wouldn’t download updates. Today I received a new (refurbished) current-generation Wi-Fi Kindle Paperwhite.
