I have to agree with about the last 6 paragraphs of what fearindex wrote above. I also quite like the touch screens ability to highlight a passage quickly if I'm reading the kind of book that warrants a lot of that. If the extras were what mattered, the pw2 would be great.
The fonts on PW2 are just low contrast enough that when used with the light (any setting for me) and the slightly blue/silver background cause my eyes to not lock on the words. Hard to pin down, it's just slightly harsh and for sure affects reading comprehension. For whatever reason button to turn pages like I've had on previous model Kindles keep me more engaged as well. I've thought about trying a light on the pw2, probably better off just sending it back and getting a 4b. I highlight a lot and have gotten so used to touch quickness so not sure if I want to make that trade off.
With my old Kindles and even the Touch I had stolen, there was something of the feeling I had when I was young curled up with a book. PW2 just feels to me like one more screen in my day.
No blueish tint like you can do with F.lux is so much easier my eyes and for this and the contrast of PW2 font I find myself reading with the great Marvin app on ipad more and more.
