(I guess you have a significant other waiting for his PW, but I wish they had special offer men. You know, the ones that cook, clean the house, get up at night when the baby is crying, get up at night when the teenager needs a ride home, get up at night when needed in general. The list being long, as a matter of fact probably endless, I'll stop here).

Haha. So far I at least have "feeds the cat late at night, takes out garbage, kills bugs, assembles IKEA furniture without grumbling" special offers.

In all honesty, its certainly not perfect, hence my rating of 3 stars. I think PW2 probably will be what we all hoped this one would be.

.. And then some! It better also have color e-ink and a flexible display!

Ahh what the heck, you only live once. At maximum brightness I see a slight green blog upper right. but it is easily negated, but turning down the light. Overall pretty happy with it.

What do you'll see

)

I see the green blob you mention and a reasonably large pinkish area where the brightness scale thingy is

Hope its better

It does have some issues. The biggest annoyance to me is the most left LED shines brighter than the others at some levels

I see that as well, but only in the picture.

Since you INSIST, it's not too visible, but it looks pink from the light symbol to the left and greenish to the right of it. When you compare the search symbol with greenish background, to the Home symbol with pinkish background, it becomes obvious.

Wahh what did you do that for

hehe just kidding, the biggest irritant for me so far is that I have to tone down the light to get the flashlight effect under control in the bottom. Its not that evident in this picture. Otherwise reading conditions are pretty good. I would try to get another one, but Im not confident I would get a pw that looks as good as mine

THat would be the photo. The blacks are most definitely solidly black.

I picked up my Kindle this evening from Best Buy. So far I'm pretty happy with it - I'll see how it works after reading over the next few days. Here are a bunch of pics I took with my iPhone at various light levels, both with and without the overhead light on.

Congrats! Looks like you got a keeper.

That one looks fantastic! Ignore the blotchy comments!

I got my Kindle today from Amazon. Never had a Kindle before, and I'm a bit disappointed by the "stage lighting" at the bottom, even though I had seen some pics online and knew to expect it.

Really appreciate this thread. Judging from the other pictures, I guess this is considered a "good" one.

Overhead lighting off toward the bottom of the kindle, brightness set at 14.

ahintz & fasteight: both of your Kindle Paperwhites look excellent, to me.
