Worthy upgrade from PW1

I liked my Paperwhite 1 as my primary e-reader, but its blotchy multi-colored background did bother me. This appears to have been solved with the Paperwhite 2. Others may not think it worth it to upgrade, but I spend many hours reading so it was worth it to me. Besides the improved contrast, and whiter background, I like the long battery life and light weight. I like that Best Buy has it available (along with other tech devices) and does price-matching. (P.S. My husband got my old Paperwhite 1 and he is happy with it).

What's great about it: Improved contrast and background
What's not so great: Well, I gotta shell out more $ after purchasing the PW1
I would recommend this to a friend!

The PSW111 Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, accurate and musical bass from a shockingly small enclosure. Small enough to hide behind (or in) furniture or tuck into a corner, the PSW111 easily disappears from view. But its big bass output will never let you forget that it's there, delivering all the visceral gut rumble for your favorite action movies as well as tight, accurate bass precision for your music. The PSW111 represents a continuing refinement of the highly regarded PSW Series and a great introduction to visceral home theater bass performance. Its compact design is the perfect complement to Polk RM Series and SurroundBar loudspeakers.

The first one I bought from Am....n was Dead on Arrival. So I ordered the same thing at Best Buy and they gave me a price match. Happy Day. Works great with my Polk OWM5 fronts and OWM3 rear speakers. I like that this subwoofer has a relatively small profile and goes well the the rest of my system.
What's great about it: Sound, relatively small size, stylish
What's not so great: nothing

Does the job

Bought for my Sony 55-Inch HDTV. Needed something versatile since the TV needed to be placed in an exact location over our fireplace. It can tilt downward slightly which was good for us because the TV was mounted above eye level. We had Geek Squad install and mount the TV (which was a good decision), and it came free with our installation.
What's great about it: Price, versatile
What's not so great: nothing

Almost passed up this gem

I use 3 of these as the front left/right/center speakers mounted on the wall around my 55" HDTV. It was the long rectangular shape that I wanted aesthetically as well as the relatively light weight - and these fit the bill. Looks nice in black around the TV and performs well. They weren't on the floor at the local Best Buy, so I took a chance ordering them unseen. What readers need to know is that the online photo does not do them justice. The back of these speakers is flat-backed in the center (enough to give them stability when mounted on the wall) but the ends are angled up to hide speaker wires. Very versatile. If I could change one thing I would say make them flatter so that they were flush with the HDTV (like the more expensive KEF series). I paired these with Polk OM3 rear speakers and Polk PSW111 subwoofer. Sweet setup.
What's great about it: Rectangular shape goes well with large HDTV, versatile
What's not so great: Wish it were flatter,

Geek Squad set this up along my with my Home Theatre about 3 wk ago so I can't comment on how easy it is to set up. So far, use has been easy - just click the "turn on TV" button and all the components automatically turn on. I like the "Help" button - if one of your home theatre components isn't working it will let know know which one.
