I'm upgrading from a Kindle Touch, so I'm hoping for a significant (non-blue) upgrade. This will be my first front-lit eink reader, and I'm hoping I like it well enough to use it at night. Currently I use a 1st gen Fire for night reading, and in night mode with the screen full dim it's incredibly comfortable to read. It's hard to imagine the PW2 being better, but I hope it's good enough. The software differences between the Fire and Touch are significant and I'd like to unify my reading experiences.

I think the only way I'll cancel my PW2 pre-order is if Amazon announces something similar to the Aura HD.
Thanks for the thoughts on the blue screen, that makes sense. I have the PW1 now and while I really love it, I had issues with color hues. I'm really hoping they've solved it and the PW2 is perfect. I have the kindle fire too, but I much prefer my PW for night reading. I hope you're happy with yours!
