That said, I realized a problem last night... while brushing my teeth I had my K3 propped up on a towel and was reading... my hands were wet so I was turning pages with my wrists on the page turn buttons... not sure how I'll do that w/ the Paperwite. I also got a splash on the screen and wiped it off, which I realized won't work so well with a touchscreen. Maybe I should just put the book aside for a few minutes, but that's too hard. :-) |

How much lag is there when opening a book? What about if you open and close several books in a row? My Sony T-1 gets a little flaky if I switch between too many books too often.

OK I was wrong but you have to really turn it off and not just let it sleep.
When you close the cover it goes into sleep mode with the screensaver, but if you press and hold the button to turn it off, when you open the cover it goes straight to the book you were reading. |

Most of the screen is devoted to forward page turn, so you shouldn't have any problem using your wrist or elbow.

Mine is a SO PW. Is yours? Apparently for SO PWs you can bypass the SO on the sleep screen by swiping, otherwise you tap the screen to see the SO. Perhaps non-SO models simply wake up.

Mine's a non-SO. It just wakes up to where I left off like all of my previous Kindle's.

Okay so much for spending a few hours reading on my PW. I cannot. I'm already getting a headache most likely from all the eyestrain. I have tried every combination of room lighting and PW lighting, but it just sucks. My screen is just too splotchy and only part of that is due to the LED lighting. I've got really bad font rendering on my screen. Some words have a few letters that are nearly washed out. Other words have a few letters that almost look bold. This totally screwed up font rendering is popping up on every page and in random locations. It occurs with all the fonts and is worse with some. Combined with the splotches from the LED lighting, I simply cannot read on the damn thing.
I picked up my Touch after struggling with the PW and it was way better to read on. PW is going back. No replacement as too many others here have already pointed out similar faults in theirs. I'll wait for Gen 2 or 3. Last edited by jswinden; 10-02-2012 at 05:15 PM. |

The odd lighting effect is way more visable in the dark. It appears to be the same on both devices. The way to minimize it is too crank the brightness all the way up. I think this is still less bright than the light on the Touch but I'll have to play with it further. It is not perfect reading in the dark but I think it will be better than what I was experiencing before. Of course, the real test will be what my wife thinks when I wake up at two in the morning and start to read . So far I am pleased and reading about what you are seeing makes me think you have a defective unit. I'm a little OCD too - I'll have to live with it a while to see if I experience eyestrain reading for a long time. I've been going back and forth from an iPad 3 to the Paperwhite and I am not feeling any irritation |
