The best is Amazon's own because it's genuine leather and will last forever. It's $40:

Bought this for my paperwhite, fits like a glove and has held up wonderfully. Definitely worth buying.OakAged wrote: ↑ The best is Amazon's own because it's genuine leather and will last forever. It's $40:

There are good copies in fake leather (plastic) for $15-20, but they'll eventually split at the hinge from use. The "MoKo" and "Fintie" brands on Amazon are well reviewed and have a huge selection of styles.
There are plenty of copies on eBay that claim to be leather, but usually admit it's "PU leather" (polyurethane, i.e. plastic) somewhere on the page. I was lucky enough to find one that claimed to be genuine leather for about $20, expecting it to be fake and having to return it, but got lucky and it's real (might have been someone at the factory selling them on eBay). But that's a gamble and takes time to find. I'd recommend the genuine Amazon one.

Use calibre and convert any format you want to exact specifications you prefer. Have had no issues with anything.-=PASHA=- wrote: ↑I've got my first e-reader on Black Friday and it was Kindle Paperwhite. I've had some PDF material but when trying to read it on the Kindle I've run into issues: either I had to hold it sideways or it wasn't comfortable to read (zoom in too much or not enough). It was frustrating and I was thinking that maybe I should've gone with a larger screen e-reader. However, I have found a workaround.
For Mobi Format:
Attach the .mobi file to an email, send it to your Kindle's email address (with any subject, and no body in the email), and it should appear on your Kindle shortly. You can also drag and drop the file onto your Kindle if you attach the device to your PC with a USB cable.
For PDF Format:
You get two choices. If you want your Kindle to display every page in the PDF as if it were a graphic, you have to email the .pdf file to your Kindle's address w/o a subject line. That will maintain the formatting and graphics, but the font size may be too small to read. (That's the issue that I had). If you're OK with this kind of formatting, you can also drag and drop the file onto your Kindle if you attach the device to your PC with a USB cable.
Another option is to attach the .pdf file to an email, and make the subject line "convert" (just that word). Send it to your Kindle email address and your PDF will be converted automatically into a Mobi file, where you can control the font size and formatting. The graphics will still be in there as well, but you'll lose the layout of the original PDF.
I hope it would be helpful to new users.

To answer your question, not really. It functions solely as an exceptional e-reader.
