I finally sat down and read on the K4. My favorite reading spot where I always read I found I had to up the font size so I could stop squinting. I really blame this on the background being darker then the K3. After I finished I opened up both readers on the same page and compare them at my reading spot. The text contrast I could not tell a difference from but the background was definitely darker then my K3. My K3 looked near white while the K4 is a light grayish color. Why the background makes a huge difference to my eyes I guess only my eyes know.
I did not find it as enjoyable as reading with my K3. I first tried one hand turning which I sometimes do on my K3 but I couldn't do it on the K4 without wedging it against something then giving it a good press. My thumb got sore after two chapters so now I use my other hand to turn the page. I'm now ready for the Kindle Touch! I only hope it has a whiter background then the K4.
Some things I could try to trick my eyes would be try a darker font or maybe buy a black skin when they come out to put on the K4.
