I have just sent back my second PW1, because putting it next to the "Basic", there was a very notable difference in contrast, light on or off. To be frank, I am totally smitten with the simple "Basic" Kindle and have just now ordered a few more...

I agree. I actually had a my black Kindle Basic bonk out on my a few weeks back and I got a replacement. The screen was a notable improvement over my first Black Kindle Basic and has even nicer contrast (very light cream color background and a good dark font), even better than my Dad's KK. I preordered the PW2 and have hopes that the contrast and screen will be an improvement over the PW1 (I sent the original back) but if it fails to impress, I'll be happy to keep using by basic Kindle.
Here is a photo I posted on Amazon of the difference between my 1st black Basic Kindle and my old grey Kindle Basic with a black skin on it. The difference is really clear and shows what a nice screen the black Kindle Basic has. My 2nd black Kindle has an even nicer screen.

If only Amazon would update their basic kindle to 212 PPI, keep the same form factor and make it non touch then I definitely would be happy.
