I've compared the KA1 again with my old Kindle Paperwhite 1.
I mostly like the KA1 because of its larger screen (especially in full screen mode), and the much better font capabilities (more precise size setting, thickness).
The one thing that struck me most is the fact that the KA1 actually looks *white* (creamy white) after adding a bit of the red of the natural light into it. The KPW1 looks green next to it. (Witout the natural light added, the KA1 looks blue.)
What is also gone is the sense of the screen looking like two sheets of glass with milk in between, with letters floating in it (KPW1) to looking more like a flat surface that is illuminated like a tablet (KA1).
No doubt about it; the KA1 is the better reader with regard to screen and fonts. If they could just get that fracking firmware working and stable....
