Q. I was wondering if the Kindle Paperwhite produces any type of light, or is it similar to the original Kindle in the sense that I need a light to read it.
A. Actually the selling point of the Kindle Paperwhite is that it has built in light, so you don't need to have external light even you read in the dark. In the past, for the older Kindle models you need an external light or a lighted cover. It's much more convenient now with the light built-in. Here you can see a video showing the lighting on this new Kindle:

The Kindle Paperwhite is really popular now, and I think it's the last chance to order now if you want to get it before Christmas. The sales page said it's expected to ship on 21st December, if you order now (it said 17th December a few days ago...)
Hope this helps.
Does the Otterbox for the Kindle Fire also fit the Kindle Paperwhite?
Q. I'm asking for a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas and since I tend to drop things and break them, I also wanted an Otterbox. I know they make one for the Kindle Fire but I wasn't sure if it fit the Paperwhite or not.
A. No, I do not believe it does. The kindle paperwhite and kindle fire are two toatlly different devices that have different functions and are different sizes different weights and have different screen sizes as well. They have other cases for the paperwhite, they probably aren't as protective as an otterbox but they're better than nothing. Look on amazon for the cases, I don't think they're sold in stores as of now. Good luck!
Will the normal Kindle Cases work for the Kindle Paperwhite?
Q. I was wondering if the normal Kindle Cases work for the Kindle Paperwhite? Because I'm going to be getting a Kindle Paperwhite and there aren't many cases to choose from for it.
Thanks!
A. It differs from case to case. Some cases can support more than one Kindle model, but it'll specifically specified in those cases. You shouldn't get the cases that haven't specifically mentioned to fit Kindle Paperwhite.
Here are the sizes of the Kindles, there's some difference so only some cases will fit both:
Kindle Paperwhite: 6.7" x 4.6" x 0.36"
Kindle: 6.5" x 4.5" x 0.34"
Here you can find accessories for all Kindle models. You can go into "Covers & Cases" for Kindle, some of them specifically say they fit Kindle Paperwhite:
