It's okay, but it's also obvious they didn't put any buttons
into the Paperwhite to have a reason for the more expensive
model which does have buttons to turn the page(and nothing else
of value it seems).
I find my Paperwhite to be quite usable, but I agree that almost
everything could have been done better. I still don't get why
some ebooks I buy land on the Kindle immediately but some will
only download once I try to read them(which is super annoying on
vacation), I don't know why the library seems to be randomly
shuffled every time I look at it, and I don't know why it's not
possible to completely shut off the Paperwhite's backlighting.
A lot of little strange decision were made with that thing.
