The PW2, which I've had for years, has lower resolution (212 dpi) than either the PW3 or PW4 which are both 300 dpi. This is one reason the earlier paperwhite looks a bit 'fuzzy'.

Maybe return the PW4 and buy the Libra or try to find a PW3.
One thing I have noticed is that Kobo has better dithering routines for graphics.
