YAY! I received the new Paperwhite and thank goodness, it's better than the first one. The text is nice and crisp, and
black this time!!! The whiter background color is not apparent in the daylight, I have to take it into a dark room and close the door and then I can tell the difference. Although I have to say I prefer the blue white of the first generation of the Paperwhite, like in diamonds

This still has that taint of off white.
One thing I was really hoping for in this generation was that they had made the left margin for page return smaller darn it. Sometimes you just want to hold it with your left hand - didn't they think of that?
