So back it goes...but a worthwhile experiment anyway.
Ha! And I thought I was the only one who returned the Kindle Paperwhite for the same reason. I looooove my Kindle Keyboard (all 3 of them!!) along with the lighted cover. Your description of the PW's backlighting as a "diorama" is spot-on! Ugly, just plain ugly.
