Denis,
Chris,
Looking at the Kindle Paperwhite, I'm wondering, is it not to small to read technical books and documents on?
According to the website it's dimension are 169mm x 117 mm (and that is with the border included) and when I measure the actual text on the books I have, most are arround 185mm x 130mm.
