This review is from: Kindle Paperwhite, 6" High Resolution Display with Built-in Light, Wi-Fi - Includes Special Offers (Electronics)
Update:
After playing with the Kindle Paperwhite for a couple of days, I've changed my mind from 1- to 4-stars (really 4.5, but that doesn't seem possible on the rating system). It's still not *quite* the blow-your-pants-off amazing e-reader that I thought it would be, but it's by far the best one available now--and add to that the speed & efficiency of Amazon customer support (who gave me a call just now to help out with Kindle issues) and the extent of its online library, its Whispersync technology, the storage available on Amazon Cloud, and this thing can't be beat.
The strange blotchy pixelation problems went away as soon as I connected to a wireless network. Apparently, my device just needed to download the latest updates and be in sync with the latest firmware (all of which has now been done). There's virtually no lag in typing letters on the touchscreen keyboard, and there are no longer issues turning pages or with pixelation generally. The four LED lights are still visible, but actually, one does get used to it. Wired.com and TheVerge have decent reviews of the Paperwhite--go read them! Sum up the thing pretty well.
