Thanks so much! The RAM was definitely a question we had about it, so it is good to hear it will be (hopefully) faster. The lighting was also a concern I had because of all of the mixed reviews I recall seeing... but as you said, this is a much newer version and if we are happy with what is on the very old PW, this should be very acceptable. If it ends up going to the MIL, it is going to be a big upgrade as her last-known eInk device was an old Kindle keyboard. I think she is going to love a light-up eReader!
