After years of reading on Pocket PCs and then phones I ordered a Kindle 3. It might be just that my eyes require better reading-light than most but I always seemed to be somewhere dim enough that reading on the Kindle was very uncomfortable without adding an ungainly external light of some sort. I switched back to reading on my phone.
Being a glutton for punishment I subsequently bought a Kindle Touch and a Sony PRS-650. Still no joy, although the Touch at least didn't remind me of World War II army surplus gear like the K3, and the raspberry-colored Sony was gorgeous.
The PW1 was a revelation -- gray blotches notwithstanding. I've gotten several frontlit readers since then (current favorite being a Kobo Aura H2O), but the PW1 was the game-changer; my phones are almost never used for reading now.
