OK, I've used it for longer now, and have some pros and cons.
Pro: light is awesome for reading in bed. Screen is very clear. Page turns are fast. In fact, everything is fast. I like that you can see the time left in your book, although it always seems to be readjusting. I like the ability to flip through pages--have done this several times. Overall it's a seamless reading experience.
Con: still getting used to the touchscreen. I end up turning the page back accidentally sometimes since I hold the device in my left hand a lot. And I find if I doze off while reading it I often wake up to find I've accidentally turned a page, highlit something, or looked up a word in the dictionary. How do you prevent yourselves from doing all these things?
Battery life: After the first charge, found that the battery lasted about 2 days--but it seems this is likely because I downloaded several hundred books and put them in collections, and played with a lot of the functionality when I first got it. The 2nd charge (light down very low, many hours of reading a day on winter break) seems to likely last me about a week + a day or 2, which seems comparable to my kindle 4 NT. Oddly, Amazon promises 8 weeks for the PW2 and 1 month for the K4NT (I generally get about 9 days) so it's less than promised in terms of hours, which is kind of unsurprising in general for ereader batteries I find.
