I've got Kindle Paperwhite & although I like the back-light, I prefer the simpler, original Kindle. It was much easier to navigate and all I want to do on it is read a book
I had to have a new one last year when my old one went phut. Very nice but like Liv I rather liked the original. I shan't buy a new one. Flipping good at what it does though.
I have a basic Kindle - the first one without the keypad, Kindle4? I don't use it as much as I did because a couple of years ago I bought a Kindle Fire HDX which lets me read all my books and watch Netflix, surf the net, play games etc etc. It's also touchscreen and in colour which is really good for cookery books and so on.
