As any improvement in the components is directly related to the cost, I doubt the majority of Amazon's customers would be willing to support higher prices for superior quality that they would not notice. Unfortunately, Amazon is going in the opposite direction to increase their market share and subsequent sales of content.
I haven't used my PW since I acquired a Kobo Aura HD. Its display is stunning and is what the Paperwhite should have been.

I'm apparently out of the loop as I had not even heard of the Kobo Aura HD. I just went and read about it and wow it looks super nice. I will definitely have to investigate more now!
