To add my .02 - I've been reading on my Kindle Touch since they came out, with the exception of a month long trial of a Nook with Glo Light. I sold the Nook for two reasons - didn't like the unevenness and color of the lighting, and it was too big a pain to transfer my Kindle books to the Nook.
With that history in mind - I LOVE the NSO Paperwhite!!! The light is SO much better than what was in the Nook - I truly will keep it on all the time. The screen looks much better than my Kindle Touch - darker fonts and whiter background (even with the light all the way down). I certainly notice the better resolution. I do see a little of the unevenness people mention above - but trust me, it is NOTHING compared to the Nook.
My only complaint is it is a pain to have to go through two touches to adjust the brightness. I imagine doing that a lot in different lighting conditions (well-lit desk at work, living room at home, in bed, etc.) and adjusting the light to match the conditions makes a big difference.
So for those concerned about some of the comments above - either they got defective Kindles or had much higher expectations than I had. After reading for about 30 minutes with this I can't imagine going back to my Touch.
