Is paperwhite really worth the extra $100 or so as far as user experience goes?

Or you get DRM free stuff. (The humble ebook bundles with a kindle is pretty damn seamless) but yes, the DRM most libraries have decided to use are not compatible with the kindle or particularly strong for that matter.

ajobbins: I've had two Kindle's (current one is a Paperwhite).
They are great devices but my only complaint is that you are locked to the Amazon system (unless you pirate). Many of the other readers use open formats and many of the local libraries can now lend you eBooks for most readers except Kindle.
For that reason, I think I would seriously consider something like a Kobo Glo next time.
