Paperwhite screen texture
One thing I've noticed since getting my new Paperwhite is that the screen texture is more like the actual grain of a sheet of paper than the K3's is. The K3 has a slick plastic feel to its screen while the Paperwhite has more of a 'grain' to it not unlike an actual paper page from a pbook. That adds another layer to the disappearance of the device I think. Not only do you swipe your finger across the screen rather than pressing a button like on the K3, but the texture of the screen feels very like the texture of a good quality pbook. It's something that you don't think about often on a conscious level probably, but I think it does add to the enjoyment of reading on the Paperwhite.

I sent my PW back, but I do remember liking the screen texture.

That's the micro fiber light diffuser you are feeling, I believe.

I like how resistant it is to fingerprints compared to every other touch screen I've used.

I agree. I was quite surprised when I got my Paperwhite, and enjoy that little bit of extra texture when I swipe to turn.

Noticed that today. I thought it might make the device less fingerprint prone. Great news.
