Very good post. I agree that the K4B has the blackest black of any eink Kindles, and I think it has a nice, cream-colored background,as opposed to the silver K4 that has just dirty grey in my eyes. I can see why you refer to it as a Baby Kindle, since it is one cute little device! The contrast on it is what I had hoped it would be on the PWs.

I still end up neglecting it because I always grab my blotchy PW1 instead. What I like about the PW are the covers, the fact that it turns on as soon as I open the cover, and the fact that the light is more even than with an external light source.
