I got my PW at Best Buy last week - tested it in the store. OK.

One of the good things about the PW that is usually not posted is that it is probably the most "portable Kindle" on the market. In terms of weight it is only 7.4 oz and does not require the added weight of a light. Because of the lighted screen it can be read under different levels of environmental light. Battery life is reportedly good.

My screen has slight pink/green splotches but I see them mostly in total darkness, not daylight. This a good Kindle for my purse.
