Just got my PW...

PW is quite blotchy in darkness - Kindle Fire is much better for these scenarios. It looks fantastic in indirect lighting to high light. Very sharp text. I particularly like Futura font.

I notice no coloration on the screen.

I don’t understand why the font size selection includes so few reasonable sizes (for me, anyway). When using Futura, for example, the four smallest sizes are punishingly small. I could pull off #4 but I really don’t want to, whereas the 1st three are just unusable. #5 (fifth from the left) looks nice, then the final two are enormous. I can understand the need for big fonts but the multiple tiny fonts - not so much.

I love my K3 but in indirect lighting it is too dark. The clip-on light is too bright. The PW fixes that problem. Will likely become the go-to reader during daytime and indirect night lighting, and I anticipate continuing to use the Fire in darker scenarios - for which it's not perfect, but not bad.
