Anyone got any ideas? I've been reading various reviews and the conclusions are very mixed...

Not an expert but what does the Kindle Paperwhite have over the standard Kindle - £40 seems a lot to pay for a light.

Higher resolution, touch screen, clearer/whiter/more contrasting screen, more font options AFAIK.

Same with the Kobo.

There's also the Nook readers to look at.

Do you need those?  My kindle works very well as an e-reader, not sure the above things add much (as compared to on a tablet where they would be very significant).

Not bothered about touchscreen but yes I want the rest (esp. the light), hence me asking for advice about those e-readers.
