My old Kindle died and I received my new one. The screen size is identical to the original Kindle and I can easily increase the type size if I need to, yet the overall size is a few inches smaller. When compared to carrying some large books, it is as different as night and day. I once again purchased a leather cover so it feels more like a book. The cover is better too. It offers more cushioning and is firmly locked in place. The old leather cover had a funky way of holding on to the Kindle and periodically came off when I dropped it. The new case also puts the Kindle to sleep when you close the cover. The new Kindle Paperwhite gets an A+ review from me.
