That's exactly where I'm at with my PW2: fairly happy. When I directly compared it to my K4 (or even my K3), the lower contrast (more grey text) was obvious. Once I fine-tuned the light level and got immersed in a book, I stopped noticing.

I was apparently lucky to get a screen with even lighting (warm but not "yellowish") and no pinholes, so I don't plan to exchange.

One thing I am a little disappointed in is battery life. Even after indexing completed and freshly charged, reading at light level 7 or 8, it seems to run down more quickly than even my K4. I had hoped for better.
