The Nia has certainly a much better screen than the older Basic ...
Not arguing that point. Actually the Nia is basically a Tolino Page 2 that came out about three years ago (the Nia replaced the Aura 2nd Edition)... so 212 dpi was pretty much expected in the low-end reader at that point (still is). Why Kindle kept the 167 dpi resolution is a mystery to me. The Nook 4e dropped back to 212 dpi, seven years after the B&N's last 212 dpi screen -- and they're charging as much for it as the Clara HD (which also has warm light).

Agreed. Even though I'll probably never buy one, I like that they've upgraded their bottom line reader to 300 dpi (hopefully its front light is good and even).
