I've just returned from a wonderful 2 week holiday in Egypt to find my Kindle Paperwhite waiting for me, and I'm extremely pleased with it. I see no trace whatsoever of the colour tinge that some have reported; the screen appears to me to be pure white, with just the faint shadow cones visible in the bottom 1cm or so of the screen from the lighting LEDs.

The extra resolution really does make an appreciate difference, to my mind. The text is noticeably crisper, and I can read comfortably with a smaller font size than on the Touch.

The slightly rough finish of the screen on the PW provides a much better tactile feedback than the completely smooth screen of the Touch, and the touchscreen works well.

I love the Amazon case for the PW. It holds the device very securely, and the magnetic catch which automatically turns the PW on and off works very well.

Top marks for it. A great improvement over the Touch.
