Kindle Paperwhite - why should I have one?
I was given a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas. I had not asked for one nor had I even thought about getting one.
For a couple of years I have been using my Sony PRS-300 with no problems. I mainly read fanfic on it. I just find the story I want on a website, save it as a .pdf or .rtf file to my computer, put it on my Sony with Calibre, and I'm good to go. It's simple and I love it. I never buy books. Occasionally I'll d/l one in the public domain.
Now I have this Kindle Paperwhite. I see that it has wi-fi capability though only with an ATT network. How prevalent are ATT networks in public places? Is the wi-fi capability very useful for, say, checking email or looking at a google map?
How about the file types? Most of my fanfic is in .pdf or .rtf format. Am I going to have to convert them to something else?
Basically, I'd love to hear any advice as to whether or not I should keep this Kindle when I'm already perfectly happy with my old Sony. Thanks in advance.
