5 stars beat all the rest of the reviews COMBINED.

What about the "it's really more of a 4.8 or 4.9, but I'll just round up to 5" reviews?
I just went to the Paperwhite 2013 page here:

http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Paperwh...owViewpoints=1

I found that there are now reviews: 54 four star, 27 three star, 14 two star and 17 one star. There are 221 five star reviews. That means the 5 stars beat ALL the rest combined by 1.97 to 1.

That looks great in my estimation. I have purchased 5 Kindles since 2009 and only had to exchange 1 and that new exchange was also perfect.

I used to use Sony eReaders and they simply could not match the Amazon Kindles and their eBook prices tended to be slightly higher than Amazon.

I admitted that my particular eye configuration may not pick up what others do in the way of defects. However, the test is how we like reading on them not how many defects we can discover.

I just went to the Amazon page for the Sony PRS-T2-6. They have 5 four star reviews, 1 three star, 3 two star and 2 one star. They have 14 five star reviews. That means their 5 star reviews have a 1.27 ratio over all other reviews combined.

Their page is here: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Touchscre...owViewpoints=1
