I ordered the new paperwhite to see if there was any improvement in the screen, and it came yesterday. I didn't really have any expectation of keeping it and some may remember I had what seemed like an endless number of replacements before I got a first gen PW I felt I could live with. I am really impressed; the screen seems really even. I can see faint cones of light at the bottom, and this is the one area where my current kindle is really excellent as it is virtually impossible to see them. The new PW is noticeably faster too (perhaps especially so because I only have one book on it at present?).
I like some of the new software features; I suppose it remains to be seen if the PW1 gets 5.4.
Will see if my OH likes the old one - he's got a KK and isn't the slave to technology that I am - and if not, it will go on ebay.
