I find the PW 2012 has better contrast than the PW 2013 in MY OPINION. Speed differences are also not noticeable by me since I rarely index large books and just turning pages is not affected. Of course we all have different perceptions and eyes. Prior to the upgrade I PERCEIVED the PW 2013 had much better contrast. Now it appears to ME that the PW 2012 has better contrast.
I own both units so I can fairly judge. Prior to the PW 2012 update I'd totally agree with you. However, now they appear to be TWINS to me. The bookmark feature was the main improvement I noticed in the PW 2013 but now the PW 2012 has EXACTLY THE SAME bookmark features.
Collections feature now works EXACTLY the same. Goodreads is on both. Main menu looks EXACTLY THE SAME to me.
Do you own both units so as to do a fair comparison? My wife uses the PW 2012 and I use the PW 2013.
I notice that Josieb1 in a post above concurred with me. I'd be interested to see opinions of those owning both units as to which unit is better and why.
For a new buyer I'd use only price as my deciding factor now. It appears the OP got a better price for the PW 2013 so he made the correct decision.
