After all, this is a discussion list. [...] Without discussion subjects, a discussion list is a bit dry.

I see your point, however there *are* other things to discuss like troubleshooting, dealing with Amazon, Calibre issues, tips and tricks and probably a lot more I can't think of at the moment.
I didn't always hold the view I expressed in my post. I used to be very interested in comparing and contrasting Kindles. It was only after I bought a thinner, lighter, smaller Kindle with a lighted screen and 300 ppi after having exclusively used the Basic Touch for two plus years that I realized that, imo, these differences were exaggerated. My suggestion, for what it was worth, was that maybe people were too focused on attaining perfection in these relatively new devices, the way we used to obsess about the specs of hi-fi stereo gear when it was new.
When I was a kid, I remember being so troubled by some slight distortion in one loud passage of a three record box set of "The Messiah" that I wrote the label, RCA, to complain. They sent me a replacement and apologized for their quality control slipping-up. The new record had the same five seconds of slight distortion. I had become so focused on what was wrong with the music reproduction that I was not enjoying the music. My thought was maybe this is going on here, to some degree. I was just throwing it out as an idea.
