> I'm saving for an E-ink device, it's too bead the technology stagnated because of tablets and smartphones. While I'm one who thinks there's always room for improvement, I've owned about 5-6 various Kindles and if you're interested in having hundreds of books on one portable device you should just grab one. I've got the 1st (I believe) Paperwhite and it's all I need. I've looked at the newer Paperwhite and the Oasis but I just don't need the improvements they offer. Any paperwhite is fantastic. The reason I did upgrade to the paperwhite from whatever Kindle I had prior was the backlight was an absolute revolution. I used to have a battery powered light I had to stick on my previous kindle. The $80 for a Paperwhite is a great deal for what you get. I have 0 complaints. It could be a little faster and I prefer buying books on Amazon from my phone or laptop (edit: and not through the Kindle directly) then reading them on the Kindle but it's not a show stopper at all. Also, word of advice, if you're into Audible you can often find better deals by buying the Kindle version w/ Whispersync. I've almost bought $15-20 audible books before then saw that the kindle book was $7 and after that purchase the audiobook would be $3-5. It's not always the case but I can frequently find good deals on buying both.
