But PW5 has reversed the situation. It’s an improvement on multiple fronts over the PW4: much faster, significantly better display and great battery performance (I have not warmed up to the warm light but that’s there as well). I didn’t think I needed a larger screen but I’ll never go back to a 6” screen. I do about half of my reading on it now.
As for inverted text, it’s what I use if reading in completely dark (lowering brightness or using warm light seem inferior to it) but only for maybe 5-10 minutes. The contrast is just not good enough to be comfortable. I’ll read on my OLED screen phone or iPad min with dark theme which is many times better.

I hope the pw5 becomes cheaper when it's time for me to upgrade. It really looks like an amazing device. But I doubt they'd make it cheaper. Maybe if they stop selling the pw4 and bring down the price to that level. Has Amazon ever did that? Reduce the price of an ereader permanently?
