Wow, thanks for the info!
That's very interesting about the bezel situation... I've had kindles with both styles, and I actually prefer the indented kind! I find it makes it easier to tell where I should put my fingers while holding the device to not turn the pages accidentally.
I guess I just don't know about the resolution business... is 212ppi so very bad?? I used to use a kindle with a 300ppi screen, so I guess I'm spoiled.
I'm also finding that actually getting a 4 lite in my area is hard. I think I'll go with the Poke five!
Thanks again for the tips.
