The lack of buttons is not a big deal to me. I switched from a Kindle 4 to a Paperwhite 2 a few months ago, and haven't missed them at all.
With a touchscreen, the general interface is a lot better than the non-touch devices, and I also prefer the touchscreen for turning the pages. With the Kindle 4/5 the page turn buttons are very thin and right at the edge of the device - it was easy to turn the page accidentally, and awkward to use if you had the device in a case.
What I would miss though, is the Paperwhite's light.
To be honest, I ended up not using my first Kindle nearly as much as I thought I would because I never had the right lighting for it, and the lighted cases were terrible.
Since buying the Paperwhite I'm reading probably an hour or two a day now - and more importantly, have continued to do so, because the screen is always bright and easy to read whether you're in bed at night or just aren't near a bright light that's suitable for reading with.
Even in a bright room, the light helps make the page appear whiter. (hence the name "Paperwhite")
The higher resolution screen is nice too, but not a deal-breaker - especially if you use Amazon's own fonts. I do like to use custom fonts though, which do look better on the higher resolution display.
Here are some photos I took when my Paperwhite 2 arrived, in a moderately bright room:
This is using a custom font, but if you look at the A's and y's the lower resolution of the Kindle 4 is noticeable. With the built-in fonts like Caecilia, or at larger font sizes, it's less noticeable, but I do still prefer reading on the higher resolution screen.
Especially if this is your first e-reader, I would urge you to spend/save the extra $40 for the Paperwhite model rather than the basic Kindle. You won't regret it.
You an find warehouse deals if you look closely. I got mine there and nothing was really wrong, just go for like new if you're worried. (also did a search for you just in Case.
I assume he's talking about the 4th gen cases such as this:

I have the same kindle version with this cover: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SD1ZPY/ref=pd_aw_sims_6?pi=SL500_SY115&simLd=1
Quite expensive though, but I found the reading light very convenient
I use one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Lighted-Leather-Keyboard/dp/B004SD1ZPY/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1348910524&sr=1-4&keywords=kindle+cover
(the version for kindle touch)
like you stated, i do probaply 90% of my reading in bed. i keep my kindle (non-touch) on my nightstand, so i honestly could not justify the price of the kindle lighted cover.
i bought this... link
its definitely not as nice as the "kindle cover" but its a fraction of the price. it has a light, and it will protect it if the thing falls, or if i decide to take it with me when i go on vacation.
hope this helps.
That looks unwieldy for a Kindle. Have you considered [a cover with a built-in light] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalink/mo2P8TZTSYMDXPC/B004SD1ZPY/ref=cm_ciu_images_pl_link)?
This one is the best but like others have said, for the $50 it costs, you could just return it and get the paperwhite.
This is the one I have. Its very similar. I had a hard time paying for it, but I've been using it for two years now and love it.
