To me, the Kindle UI reminds me of Apple's [walled garden] - so much is locked down, unchangeable and unchanging. Jailbreaking isn't welcomed and is openly thwarted.
WH hackers are your friends, not to be feared. They encourage development, make your devices easier and better to use, more user friendly, find your bugs for you and fix them, thereby encouraging more people to buy your devices. IMO Amazon needs to unclench a bit and relax.
If I had an iAnything I would immediately jb it. I'm waiting for my son's old iPad so I can have my way with it.  I saw one once at BB - demonstrated by the owner of it - and he had all kinds of non-Apple goodies on it. It made my mouth water. LOL |
I couldn't agree more about Amazon needing to unclench a bit. The limited font thing is what really baffles me. It just seems since it's a digital device and one can easily add fonts, why not make the reader experience better by allowing it? I'm not even talking different fonts, as much as being able to change the weight. It makes a huge difference in how the text looks and makes it easier on people's eyes. I find it hard to believe a premium reader limits you for such a basic thing.

The PW light has always seemed bluish white to me but funny how putting it next to the yellow H2O makes the light seem pink now (both in pictures and in real life).
One thing I really love is how sharp the text on the H2O appears. I've kept my PW1 as a backup reader but I really can't imagine going back to it now.

Your H20 screen looks great, xtine.
It appears more H20 screens have a yellow tint than don't. At least it seems that way from the screens I have seen on here. I know they vary though and some are more white. I think the camera captures the yellow tint more than it looks in person too. At least that's what I've noticed with mine. I prefer the creamy tint and find it much easier on my eyes than the harsh blue fluorescent tint of the voyage and other lit kindle screens. When I use my H20, it actually appears quite white to me. It's only when I put it next to another device I can see the yellow tint. I think my H20 is somewhat in the middle. Not a strong yellow tint, but it's definitely there. Here's a pic of my H20 next to my PW2.
