Such simple "unevenness" does feel more natural to eyes than the "artificial" unevenness in PW2, though.
I agree that PW2 text blackness, or reading in perfectly dark room, isn't on par with the non-touch Kindle with official lighted cover. $69 Kindle with its lighted cover is still the best combo for darkness, in my opinion, although not even that is quite perfect as has been discussed above.

I was using my KFHD7, PW1, and K4BNT in the pitch dark, and again the K4BNT wins again; for darker text, and the light is evenly distributed on mine, the whole screen. Paperwhite is still milky, the KFHD well it is a tablet and the pixels are not like the HDX is...... I was trying the immersion reading on my KFHD on Little Women and it reads the audible professional voice as it highlights the text. I would like that sometimes but the print is not like I would like.
Yes I have to touch a button to turn on, then flip the light open, but hey I can see what I am reading.
