On the prototype that we saw the light sensor was faintly visible behind the black bezel in the upper corner of the unit. The system gradually adjusts light in timing with the way an average person’s retina expands or contracts in order to prevent jarring transitions."
That new font, especially, will be a hammer for those who were complaining about the present fonts.
Right now my PW 2013 keeps freezing just about once a week and requires a reset. Hopefully, the PW 2014 will have solved that problem as well.
I'd advise, that anyone who has not yet purchased a PW 2013, to wait for the PW 2014. The two improvements I cited above, alone ,would deem that as a good strategy. If they want an eReader for Christmas, they should buy the HDX 2013.
