Really the only ones I've had issues with have been the lighted ones, PW1 and Voyage. My PW2 was okay--I lucked out there. I guess people think I'm anti-Amazon or anti-Kindle, but I'm not. I'm just honest and voice my frustrations over lighting issues. I keep buying the lighted Kindles hoping to get a good one. I wouldn't do that if I was anti-Kindle. My second Voyage is pretty good, but I hope they nail it next year with the Voyage 2. |
I can't agree more.
Previous Kindles (no back lit) were good. Yeah. We we're not able to use it at bed without added light, but it's contrast was good. I remember having a model (I think I still have it somewhere in my house) that had speakers and was able to read for me.
PW1 was innovative but I think it wasn't ready for Prime time. I had to change mine too due some screen issues.
PW2 was a greater improvements over PW1 but the screen still looks "washed out".
Voyage seems to have fixed most of those issues. I bought mine from BB and like it so far. My only complain, and it's not the screen, is that it's difficult to find a good grip because is so thin and the screen is flat. Still not sure if getting a case because I don't like cases very much. But that's a minor issue to me compared to the quality of screen on previous versions,
