The resolution is obviously higher on the PW than any of the other eink kindles, so the book covers and other graphics display in more detail, however, due to the much lower contrast than on my K4s, the graphics are more difficult to see. I am currently reading a series of books that have maps in the beginning, and I can not make out any of the place names, because the contrast is so low. It's maddening: here I am in this imaginary world, yet I have no clue where what is. On my PWs, black looks grey.
