I really want a faster Kindle but I also hate the fact that they removed the SD slot. I'm also skeptical about the joystick. If the refresh rate is noticeably faster I can see it working, otherwise it seems like it would be a big step back from the scroll wheel, which was originally used--I imagine--for quick navigation.
The grayscale and screen refresh questions would best be answered by someone can compare the 2 devices side by side for a long period of time. I didn't have long enough.
