I'm quite disappointed by the lack of sharpness of the text on the Paperwhite display.
When you use the light (and that's the entire purpose of the Paperwhite over standard Kindles) it lightens the background and increases the relative contrast between background and text. But, at the same time, it washes out the text itself and reduces it from black to dark grey.
My guess is that light does not only lighten the background and the text but will also completely wash away some of the fainter shades of grey that are used for font hinting.
Also there is the effect of looking through the additional layer of plastic that is used for light dispersion. All in all, the fonts are no where near as sharp as I had hoped.
