Barry I was just thinking today about my first E-Reader experience...an OG Kindle I was loaned by a family member. The weird shaped one with the scroll wheel. I obviously had nothing to compare to but don't recall the experience as bad and I devoured books on it for months. I then decided to buy my own and was about to get a Kindle 3 (Keyboard) when the 4NT and Touch were announced. I got an NT and it was amazing. I went to get a second for a backup and it was ugly and green and muddy. Took two exchanges but got another beautiful one. I saw others on Kindle Boards complaining of the same massive variations. It was a real lottery. For a long time after I was content. Heard about these nifty frontlights and ordered a Paperwhite 2. It was washed out and worse than the Kindle NT. Exchanged it twice and got another washed out one and one with a display lighting defect with a big stripe up one side and still less clear than the 4. I gave up and went back to the Kindle 4. It just seems no matter what I try nothing can match the clarity of that old device than cost 70 bucks. if I could enlarge this device to a 7 or 8" reader , since I don't use the light anyway, I'd probably be happy as a clam. Touch would be a bonus as the buttons get tiring in hours long sessions but it's not a deal breaker and avoids fingerprints on the screen.
