After all, there's only one e-ink supplier that we know of, and if there did exist one that was pristinely paper like, I'd throw away my Kindle keyboard and jump all over it in a flash. I honestly did not expect e-ink technology to remain so stagnant 3 years after I bought my kindle (not that I'm not satisfied with my purchase).
I don't think that you've properly comprehended what he said. He is dissatisfied with the eink screen on his first generation device, and he is dissatisfied with the front-light of the Kindle Paperwhite. The last time I tried a Paperwhite, you couldn't turn the frontlight off completely without hacking it.
