I was not aware there were games, I thought it was just for reading. It doesn't matter as I'm not much for playing games anyway. Can you check email on a regular Kindle?

I really like the Kindle Paperwhite but if I'm going to spend $119 I feel like I should just spend $200 and get a Nexus7 and get much more funtionality. Although the Samsung with a 7 inch screen is down to $180. Also, one of the local places (Staples or Office Depot) has the Kindle Fire with a free Amazon $25 gift card.
