How the controls feel to you? Page turning is comfortable? And how does the writing feel, maybe it's not as terrible as I imagine with a 5 way controller?

Controls are about the same as K3. Page turn buttons are a bit more narrow and about the same height but very usable. The onscreen keyboard is not a good experience compared to the K3's keyboard, but fortunately I don't type much on my readers.

It looks like it has the black IR touch border.

Jack, could you see if you can install custom font and adjust margin via editing reader.pref
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind..._Change_Margin https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99355 Much obliged. Is the reading progress bar still there? Hideable? Ps: I can't see any screen improvement from your screenshots, but your eyes know better. I hope it's not some fluke. These units do vary a little. Man I wish they hadn't dropped audio capability. |

Do eInk screens deteriorate over time? Could that be the reason the brand new Kindle contrast looks sharper?

Someone put up a quick unboxing video:

But if contrast looks better, landscape mode is the same, I will think about it. Maybe I will wait until December or January. My assumption is that Best Buy, Target, etc, will have some on display. |
