Just installed Feedly (website) so far so good. I'll try the extension.

Sticking to website. No advantage for me in chrome extension.

I know we've discussed Google Reader alternatives before, but do folks have opinions on alternatives after using them for a while?

Anyone else use Accuweather for iOS?
It's been giving me a download error for a couple days. Wondering if anyone else uses it and has had a problem before I contact them.
I actually have really liked the app and they have a paid one that I would be tempted to buy if I knew why the free one was suddenly having issues. I did delete the app and redownload it but I'm not actually sure if that was a real reinstall or not.

So, my Kindle Keyboard is totally borked but Amazon will sell me a refurbished one (any model) with some pretty decent discounts.
The ones I'm interested in are:
Paperwhite $83
Paperwhite 3G $127.20
Kindle Fire 32GB $155
I'm leaning towards the Paperwhite (wifi only) since (a) it's the cheapest and (b) I already have an iPad so I don't really need a Kindle Fire. The only appeal there is that my iPad is technically my employer's hardware, so if I lose my job I have to give it back. That's not likely to happen, but it is in the back of my head.
My old Kindle had 3G but I didn't use it very often and wifi is available many more places now than it was a couple of years ago. Not sure it's worth an extra $50.

I ADORE my Paperwhite so, so much. It's SO nice not to have to have an external light to read when I am reading in bed. I have the 3G version and use the 3 G often enough to download new things on the go that I feel like the extra $ was worth it.

I really like the paperwhite too. It's easy to read in the dark or in full sunlight.

Most of the poor reviews talk about the screen being splotchy or displaying odd bands of color - has this been an issue for either of you?
