Hey, thanks for all the answers. I'm wondering what color of light the led gives off? Is it a cool white or a warm light?

I gotta say this picture of the K2US, K2i and K3 blow my mind. I have a K2US and have read that the K2i had better contrast...which it really does. I'm even more excited about my K3 order.
Thanks for the comparisons! |

I'm pretty surprised at the marked difference between the K2US and K2i in terms of contrast.

Any chance you've tried it out using the Google Reader Mobile site? Specifically, when viewing mobile sites, does it auto-zoom and highlight the first link, or do you have to choose an area to zoom.
Thanks, B. |

I have to say that after looking at a couple of videos and pictures comparing the K2i with the K3 the difference in contrast is very far from obvious. In some images there may be a slight advantage to the K3, but I frankly doubt I'd be able to tell them apart without knowing which is which. In the image posted above, for example, the superiority of the K2i over the K2US is pretty clear, but the K2i and the K3 look almost identical.
I'm hoping this is just the result of poor photography, but I'm starting to get a sneaking suspicion that the Emperor's put on some New Clothes. When I looked at the videos posted over on ireaderreview I couldn't help shaking my head every time he came out with stuff like 'it's obvious that the contrast on the Kindle 3 is noticeably better". The video certainly wasn't helped by the fact that the two were using different fonts and he spent a lot of the time waving them around in and out of focus. Does anyone know of a site with a proper comparison of screen contrast under good lighting conditions? I'm sure the Pearl screen is better, but I'm having difficulty finding examples that demonstrate this without a lot of suggestion. |

I don't see much evidence of the improved screen either. Based on those photos/videos, that is.
There are plenty on here though that have compared the new KDX with older Kindles and the consensus appear to be that the new pearl screen is, indeed, a marked improvement. I see no reason to disbelieve them. |

There is a huge difference between the screen, but pictures really don't show it. YOu just have to see it in person.

In that case, the K3 must completely destroy the Kindle2US..because I already see a huge difference between the 2US and 2Int in that shot. Looking forward to seeing the K3 now. |
