I think I can live with Palatino, although the sizing options are kind of strange. But I still loathe the Kindle interface.

Some pics, including a fun one of the PW2 and Sony T2 with lighted cover.

L-R: PW2 at 7, PW2 at 15, PW2 and T2 - note that both devices have much sharper text display than I was able to focus on in a dark room with no flash, with the PW2 just slightly sharper. And at it's lowest level, the PW2's grey background is identical to the T2's. The White in Paper-white definitely comes from the light.
I'm seeing the same stage light effect on your pics as I have. I'm not sure if this is a valid defect or I'm just being OCD. I'll monitor the thread to see what the consensus is.
