I don't. I've used LCD screens for reading on and off for well over a decade, beginning with the Palm PDAs. Until relatively recent times, say the last few years, I preferred eInk. However, the LCDs now have much better resolution and much clearer fonts. But getting back to MY PERSONAL PW2, it sucks. I suspect most PW2s have better screens than mine. My PW2 is like reading through fog. It seems few people are reporting that. I think Xendula did with one of the PW2s she tried wherein it was colored pee yellow and had fuzzy text. That pretty much describes my PW2. I wanted it to be a keeper so bad that I kept it. But when I compare eye strain on it with reading on tablets and iPads, I see just how bad MY PW2 is. It is too late to return it, and I won't sell it as my conscience will not allow me to pawn it off on some other poor, unsuspecting person. That would not be right. I'll just eat the loss and stay away from eInks in the future.
