Ok, my new Kindle Paperwhite Gen 2 arrived! Initial impressions:

--the screen lighting is AMAZING, and much better than my first PW. It's even, no spotlighting or colored blotches, Hopefully, all will agree. I got a decent PW V.1 on my second attempt, but this is definitely an improvement.

--it is noticeably faster on page turns and menus.

--There are page numbers!!! I know that some people had them before, but in the book that I am now reading ("Collision 2012") they now for the first time appear at the bottom of the page without having to hit menu or the like.

--the screen is crisp, and even with the light turned up full, it looks great.

--the footnote feature is awesome. Anyone who has read "Infinite Jest" will know what I mean, and this is the e-reader of choice for a book like that!

Love it! It's what v1 should have been.
