I apologize for sounding rude since you are the last person I'd want to offend. I posted earlier in this thread about you:

In yesterday's post, I wasn't writing about any one person, certainly not you. I find the general discussion about differences among the current Kindles and their small imperfections to be missing the forest for the trees. All the Kindles do a remarkable job, imo.
I got my first Kindle, the cheapo Basic, 2 1/2 years ago. (I know it doesn't have lights.) After reading this forum for years, I was recently induced to get a Voyage, albeit a used one from Craigslist. To my surprise, I didn't really prefer it to the Basic all that much.
For example, I only notice that the Voyage has a whiter screen with the brightness at 8-10 compared to the Basic when I am looking at both. If I'm just reading on the Basic, the background looks white to the exent I even think about the background at all. Which I don't. For me, the greater ppi of the Voyage makes no real difference in my reading experience.
I was trying to say that if I am engrossed in a book rather than thinking about the specs of the device I am reading it on or focusing on the ways in which the device falls short of absolute perfection, the device becomes invisible to me and it doesn't make a dime's worth of difference whether it's .33" thick or .4" thick or 7 1/2 ounces or 11 ounces, or has 226 ppi or 300 ppi or it has 6 LEDs or 12 LEDs or there's a tiny shadow in the lower left corner or the LEDs aren't pure white.
