Thanks xendula! The only two issues with it are the thin fonts and the dark screen in the middle. The fonts are not just a PW2 issue though, all Kindles and Kindle apps have thin fonts. I loaded an eBook I modified to turn all the text bold and font-wise it looks pretty good on the PW2. But that is a kludge way to do things. As you can see from the photo I posted in my review, the screen looks a bit dirty in the middle, or actually all over except for a narrow band around the perimeter. The best way I can describe it is to say it reminds me of a cheap paperback after you touch the page with your thumb and then you see the ink lightly smeared about making the page look dirty at that place. The issue with my PW2 is that most of the screen looks that way. Time will tell if I can read like that without eyestrain. So far so good. But the PW2 still has room for plenty of improvements related to the light, IMHO.
EDIT: BTW, the photo in my review was using normal text weight (not bolded). I think I had it set to Caecilia Condensed.
