The paperwhite only has a screen size of 6.8". It's basically the size of a paperback. Real easy to hold one handed. Battery lasts a hell of a lot longer, and the later versions are water proof, so you can read in the tub/shower/pool/rain. Best part is you don't have to worry about light hitting the screen; that just makes it easier to read instead of having a glare.

I used to read primarily on my phone, until I fooled around with a friends paperwhite. 6 months later bought my own.

I am not saying anything at all negative about the Paperwhite. I have great respect for eReaders. It's simply a different experience using your phone.

I started reading on a 7" tablet. I found that I preferred my small smartphone. Everyone prefers different things. It's good to find out what you prefer. I'm glad you found your device!
