I have mixed feelings about the Paperwhite. I have the Kindle Fire HD 7" for about a month and I can read from that almost better than the Paperwhite. I have the KFHD on Sepia and use the app Screen Dim. I put the Paperwhite at 3 or 4 and I tried 1 or 2 and that is too low.
I have no color hues, but I find in a dark, pitch black room I just can't enjoy it as well as the Kindle Fire HD. The Paperwhite is gorgeous in a lighted room. I don't know if I will keep or not. Yes I see 4 lights at the bottom, and it does bother me only because my Kindle Fire HD doesn't do that! Also because Amazon boasted so much about the perfection.
I am a loyal Amazon customer. But I am a bit disappointed in the Paperwhite lighting in the dark.
I have 30 days to decide, but I am thinking of going with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" or a Samsung Tablet. I have the Kindle DX and I do like more words on a larger tablet. Old eyes.

I have a similar portfolio:
Kindle DX Graphite
Kindle Fire HD
Kindle touch
Kindle Paperwhite
I can see the 4 lights at the bottom of Paperwhite as well. But honestly, they don't bother me.
I clearly prefer the Paperwhite to the touch.
I still love my DX Graphite, but I probably will take it with me less often than before Paperwhite.
I love Fire HD. But to me, it's a different beast than Paperwhite.
For pure reading, I like the little weight of Paperwhite. When reading for more than 3 hours in an instance (will read "Kiss before dying" tonight), even 50g can make all the difference.
On a trip, when having to decide for one or another, I'll probably go with the Fire HD. More options on a tablet.
But for pure reading, I find Paperwhite close to perfection. Didn't consider giving it back, not even for a second.
