While it's interesting I'm not convinced that it's worth paying the price tag to upgrade as I already own the first Paperwhite. I did pre-order one so I will be able to see in person any improvements without trying to see them while under a store's blindingly bright lights. I find that screens are a lot different to my eyes once I am outside the stores overhead lighting. I notice that previous Kindle screens look positively awful in stores, even worse if the touch screen devices have had a lot of handing.
Anyhow I pre-ordered one as a birthday present for my Mum who's default Kindle is a Kindle Touch. From KT to PW 2 is probably more worthy of the upgrade than PW 1 to PW 2.
As someone whose been actively addicted, as I admit fully, to eInk technology I would be interested in not only how books look but any performance improvements that might be present. I should be able to satisfy my curiosity when my Mum's PW is delivered.
