I agree with @JoisieB1 and @sparklemotion. I think Amazon has too many irons in the fire with all their Kindle eInk readers, Kindle Fires, and Kindle apps. As a result, firmware/software updates take forever to materialize and never seem to be that much of an improvement. Many new features are getting added, but most are poorly executed or simply don't interest me. I also agree that the Collections feature has never been good, and seems even worse now.

After reading a while on a Nexus 7.2 and now my iPad mini Retina, I can no longer stand an eInk reader. The eInks are too low resolution and their contrast levels are a generation behind the game. The Paperwhites, and indeed any eInk reader I've ever seen with an added layer on top of the eInk screen, well they simply suck. The light layer greatly degrades the sharpness of the screen. The PW2 is better than the PW1, but it still sucks.The PW 495 will suck too, assuming they still put the light layer on top of the eInk screen. The Kindle no touch and no light is better as far as contrast and sharpness, but it lags a generation behind on resolution. If they can manage to get it up to around 300 dpi then I might get one, but that is not likely to happen for a VERY long time.

I understand that reading in bright areas, especially outside in the sunlight, requires an eInk. But other than that, I have no use for them anymore. And since I rarely read outside, I doubt I will buy another one.
