The PW Kindle has a mistake in the specs. Amazon is calling the screen Paperwhite Built-in light. It's actually an eink screen with a capacitive touch layer and then the light layer on top.
Sony tried the capacitive touch layer and it was a failure. The only thing that Sony didn't do it put the light right on top of the screen. The 700 had a light layer but that was not directly on top and that was not good.
I do look forward to finding out how the Kindle screen looks with the light off. Sure, I can make my 650's background look lighter by having a good light source. But, the idea is to see how the screen looks in normal lighting.
I do like the increased battery capacity and maybe it's possible that with the new fonts it might be OK. I never liked the original Kindle font.
