I just reviewed the Amazon press event online again. If you go about 12:00 minutes in there's a closeup of Jeff B using the Paperwhite where you'll see a beautiful, evenly lighted screen. So far, based on comments here and the reviews that came out on Sunday, that is not the reality of what was delivered. Jeff B cranks the brightness all the way up and there are no shadows or bleeding on the bottom of the screen. It does look white and beautiful.
I'm happy with my device - it's an improvement over the Touch. Both the display and the capacitive touch are better. I do understand, and don't blame, those that press Amazon to deliver what they implied the Paperwhite is supposed to be.
