What we need is another type of screen that can be lighted without degradation yet miserly when it comes to power consumption. Something other than an LCD or eInk. I know of nothing yet that has been invented and/or marketed that can achieve this. I doubt we will ever see an eInk that looks anywhere near as good in artificial, low light as it does in daylight.

I agree with Jack. I had the paper white for about three weeks but found that I missed my Kindle 4. I ended up exchanging for the Kindle Basic and have not regretted that choice. The contrast is better in natural light and the text seems closer to the screen and easier to read and isn't buried beneath layers of glass. It just feels more like ink on a page to me.
