My concern, having published books with illustrations, was that going from 212 to 300 pixels per inch would make the images smaller. An image that is, for example, 500x500 pixels will appear smaller on the PW than on the K3. But from what I can recall about how large certain images looked on my PW, it seems like Amazon must be stretching some of the images. More on this later when I have my PW to compare. I do notice a very light grey line down the right side of some images... I'm wondering if that has something to do with the fact that I think amazon is blowing them up a little.... Anyone can grab a sample of an Oz book from here: http://www.amazon.com/Wonderful-Wiza.../dp/B005VRZXOA to see what I mean. One example is the "She" image at location 119 in that book (yes, which I published). But the line isn't there on all images, and there is only a line along a portion of the right edge for some images.

The fonts look great. I never used Palatino on the PW even though in general I like the font, because it seemed a bit light and fuzzy on the PW. But it looks nice on the V.

I saw one of the covers at Best Buy. I didn't think I'd like the origami cover because the creases will make it floppy, but it was a little stiffer than I feared. It was pretty neat. But still - $45 is a bit ridiculous (and the only had black at Best Buy). We'll see what third market covers come out for it. If you bought a cover - review it here, also!
