Some people just don't like the front-lit screens though, and feel it makes the screen a little hazy as if the text is behind a pane of glass, and if you think they might bug you, ignore all of the good points and stick to your non-lit ereader, its your choice and there is nothing wrong with it.  |
Thanks for responding. I suppose I ought to stop by Best Buy for another look at a PW2 and play with the brightness and evaluate how I think text looks. Will probably take my K3 in with me as a control. Of course the other option is to simply order one from Amazon and check it out at home for a week or two.
I'll probably end up keeping the NST to play with no matter what other choice I make. It was an unexpected find, especially since they've been gone for a little while now.
