I got one for Christmas. No 3g, which I kind of need. But, hey - it's a present.
Compared to my PW1 3g:
The screen is much better than my PW1. More yellowish - which I don't like. But lighter background, darker font, more uniform lighting. A big winner, overall. More of an improvement than I would have expected.
Battery life is longer, probably due to not having 3g. Maybe it needs more testing. But my PW1 had about 10-12 hours in it. Here it's more like 16. More testing needed.
It's lighter. Again, is it because of no 3g? Small difference, anyhow.
More ghosting. It doesn't bother me when reading books, but I do notice it when reading the Financial Times, probably because of the pictures, which leave more noticeable shadows at page flips.
Faster. Much faster, all around.
Goodreads is a plus. They could have done more with it, but it's a start.
I like the feel of the screen, less granular.
The touch is more precise. Highlighting is easier.
The touch is perhaps a bit too sensitive. I had more accidental page turns than on the PW1.
I like the vocabulary builder. About time...
Page turns with bookmark function or whatever you want to call that... being able to go to a page and then flip back easily is neat.
Collections. I never used many. Had them on my iPad app. Five large collections in all. They transferred over. Worked like a charm. I am ok with it. I can see why people are annoyed. But, for me, it worked.
I like the way the new dictionary window is setup.
Page numbers!!!!
I mean... PAGE NUMBERS!!!!
Yes, yes, I know, you could have them before... but finally I don't have to stare at loc or time to read. Call me old-school, but I love page numbers.
Overall... I am a happy camper.
