Oh, and not to sound like Steve Jobs, but one more thing, the KPW is pretty bad with fingerprints though they only show up in certain light. Probably not an issue when reading, but at some angles you can really see where you touch and swipe a lot!

Okay I lied--another thing too: The somewhat fuzziness of the fonts at lower light brightness levels is fairly obvious to me to be the additional substrate layers. When Sony first made touch screen eReaders they had terribly fuzzy fonts. The fuzziness isn't that bad as the PRS-x00 line, but it is definately caused by the substrate IMO. I was so afraid this would be the case, but was hoping I would be pleasantly surprised. But to be brutally honest, the new KPW screen when viewed with the light totally off shows fonts pretty close to the fuzziness level of pre-Pearl screens. The KPW screen with light off looks to be just better than the old pre-Pearl screens and much worse than the first Pearl screens. Yuk!!
