I'm planning on upgrading from a pw3. Selling mine at a decent price. However reading reviews and comments. Many people keeps on saying that the screen and contrast is faded as washed out, that the text is not as crisp as the pw3. This is a massive downer for me. How bad of a difference is it? Have you noticed it? Does it take away from the reading experience

I also read about glares but I'm more concerned about the text not being as sharp as the pw3.

Do you have any experience about it? Please advice me
For me, the difference was noticeable but it's not bad. Certainly not to the point where it's super distracting. YMMV.

That said, if I didn't need waterproofing, I would just stick with the PW3.
