I have to agree with this. The last basic Kindle (the 5-button) has a fantastic combination of tuned font, background color, and resolution/contrast. It isn't fancy, but dang does it work.

The next closest e-reader that I have viewed personally is the current Nook GlowLight. It's not quite there... but it is the closest, in my opinion, beating out the Paperwhite fairly easily in my eyes.

(The PW always makes me feel like my eyes are slightly not focused correctly) (I should point out that my experience with e-readers only includes Kobo, Sony, Amazon, and Barnes, so I can't talk about things outside of that range)
