I switched from a Kindle to a Kobo, and now back to a Kindle.

My experience was that the Kindle's responsiveness to changes (next/previous/moving around in the OS) was better, just significant enough to be bothering me when I was using the Kobo.

The latest low end kindle response time is horrendous and the material is slippy.

I lost my paperwhite so replaced it last week and the quality has really really dipped. Also it was the cheapest kindle but cost more than I originally spent in my paperwhite…

I’m returning it next week when I finish my current book.

They have three tiers. Paperwhite is the middle so you're going to see a difference with the low end model.

Newest version of the Paperwhite is a big step up. The larger screen and better processor are both put to good use.
