Hi

The first Kindle I bought was the Kindle 4 - the first kindle that came out without a keyboard, with the directional selection button at the bottom middle. I still have it (now have a Voyage) and use it when on holiday etc. The clarity is generally fine, but you can see a lack of clarity when compared to the Voyage. That said, I think the "colour" of the screens of the older Kindles in better - the Kindle 4 has a pale grey screen, the newer Kindles have whiter screens due to the lighting, but when this light is off the screens seem more of a beige/pale cream.
