I think a lot of the reactions to the PW, positive and negative alike, come down to a personal feeling with the device. Which may be obvious, but most tech I know of is objectively good or bad when it comes to the hardware. People will certainly use tech in a variety of ways, so there will be all sorts of variance depending on how someone uses their tech, but generally the hardware is objectively good or bad.
But with the PW, I think people can find both good and bad, and it just comes down to what they're willing to accept. Like for me, if I shoot the brightness way up, I see the uneven colors and it hampers my reading. But after tinkering I've settled on a 3 brightness setting for all reading, and it's perfect in light rooms, dark rooms, outside, etc. Now I fully admit the screen looks bad at higher settings, but I also accept that at the 3 setting its better than any other kindle I've used. So where exactly does that fall in the spectrum of a "good" or "bad" model?
I'd be willing to bet a lot of other people who love their PW feel the same, in that they've just hit on a setting that works great for them. While others may not be as willing to forgive the defects at the higher light settings?
