I have to agree with most of what was already said, especially about the double-spacing and the huge title which takes up the entire screen, instead of being just a header. When you hover over the title, it becomes unlined as if it's a link, yet clicking on it does nothing. I expected it to at least scroll down to where the actual article started.

I actually do like the larger images though which makes them very easy to see the details, great for people really trying to make a decision between choices. Perhaps a better option though would be to size them smaller within the article but being able to click to view full size, that satisfies both camps.

Since you went into detail about the size differences and how much more comfortable the Kindle was because it, you probably should have compared the PW2 to a Kobo 6" reader like the Glo or Aura. I have a PW2 and a Kobo Glo, and there's really no way I'd read on the PW2 over the Glo. Kobo gives you total control over your fonts, spacing, margins, even adding additional fonts. With the PW2, your choices are to live with what you get as default. Even though the PW2 is supposed to have the better screen, the font adjustments on the Glo give me more contrast, making it the better reading experience for me.
