Amazon never even say anything about the exact CPU speed that comes with PW1. That until someone else actually hacked it or disassembled it that we found out that it was a Freescale i.MX50 800MHz Rev. 1.1.

Funny, but I was just reading on my OG Paperwhite last night, and noting to myself how much I love it. Honestly, didn't have a single thought in my mind about any needed improvements--it's really probably my favorite gadget, in terms of doing precisely what it's designed to do.
Absolutely zero interest in the new Paperwhite. |

Cnet has posted an article with some further details. The author discusses his hands-on experience, comparing it to the original Paperwhite.

What date? I viewed it twice I still don't see a date anywhere in the video, not to say it isn't there but I sure don't see it if it is. I agree that it does seem like a video made for the PW 1 though.

Oh well, they might as well just recycle the old video as the new PW 2 doesn't really have much new outside of FW enhancements. Even Bezos apparently didn't think it was important enough to call a press conference or hold an introduction event. I think Amazon is definitely switching emphasis to tablets and away from eInk readers.

I'm curious about the lighting and resolution. But not sure if this will justify an upgrade.
I've been satisfied with my PW since I bought it, and I was one of those who pre-order last year . |

Since I don't have the original PW (I sent mine back) I'm intrigued to check this one out, although still hoping for some more reviews and maybe some hands on videos. |

I don't recall the Kobo Aura having a big sendoff, either. I bought it based on threads here.
