PS: I'm agreeing with Blossom and others on the pw2. I feel like I spend more time fiddling with it to make it look right than reading. After a while, I feel like: why am I doing this? I think that by trying to overcome eink's shortcoming, the PW paradoxically highlights it. The old school kindle is better for day reading, and a good hi res tablet is better for night reading. The PW is sort of stuck in no man's land.

Your sister is gonna love you for getting her such a nice gift!
As for your comments on the PW2 - yes! I sent mine back, and ever since then, I have been shaking my head at myself. All that time rooting, hacking, tweaking, while fun, to get things the way I want them....no more! It's silly. Adjust a few things in Calibre, plug in my Kobo, and everything is the way I want it, no hacking, no rooting. Just reading!
At least with the PW1 I could add my own font. In most ways, it was a better device than the PW2 (to me).
So I am relieved I was able to send my PW2 back. I won't get another e-ink Kindle unless it does what I want without having to hack it to pieces. (Or unless they make a PW Mini)
