I wasn't initially any more impressed with the new order; it had a variable pink band about 1/2 inch deep at the top, with a 2" greeny blue area below it. they sent me a couple more which were worse and in the end I decided the pinky topped one was much more even overall than the others - and there was virtually no shading along the bottom - so as i liked the PW technology better than the KK by this time, I kept it. I do notice the pink and blue/green areas when I'm reading in the evening but I can cope with it.

I have noticed that the touch screen is more sluggish that it used to be, even after restarting, so speeding that up would be a bonus. Not sure why this might be; I probably have about 3 - 400 books on it at any one time.

if the PW2's screen/lighting was really really even I might find it hard to resist!

Wow! I gave up after just three units. But I had, and still have, a perfectly usable Kindle Touch and thus decided to stick with it instead of the wonky screens I kept getting with the PW1 units. I'm sure hoping they fixed that with the PW2.
