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.

Yes, the official PW cover is very nice - I have it for my PW1 and intend to use it on the PW2 when it arrives. Although for me it is the opposite, I neglect the PW.
But I do agree, the PW cover is nicer, the auto-on is great and the whole quality of the cover is much better than on the Kindle 4 cover, which is OK but not great. PW cover also has some really nice colors available.
I'd love to like the PW, the nice covers are one reason. Maybe PW2 will, against all odds, surprise me. But so far I've like non-frontlit e-ink experience the best. It is just so "pure".
