New model Kindle 4 just arrived at my home!
My new Kindle just arrived! I'm unpacking it now. I'll post photos and comparisons with my K3 as soon as I can.
------------------------------------ I will add to this post any new comments/photos:
How does the K4 screen compare to the K3? Many of us who own both a K3 and a K4 feel that the K4 screen is better. Just as many seem to think the K3 screen is better. This leads me to conclude that the screens on the K3 and a K4 are most likely too similar to say that one is consistently better than the other. I declare them equals. The fact that they are both using Pearl E Ink screens would seem to justify that analysis. ------------------------------------ TIPS I moved the Tips to their own thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...12&postcount=1 ------------------------------------ K4 Menus Here is a posting I made several pages into this thread showing many of the menus. Menus links. ------------------------------------ EDIT: First photos attached. New K4 has much improved screen over K3. K3 seems to reflect more glare and K4 seems to have better contrast. ......

I just went to my front door to check if they left the box there without ringing (which they've done before)..no luck. Last edited by Zeebra; 09-29-2011 at 03:12 PM. |

Holy crap! The screen has a GREATLY increased contrast. Much improved even over the K3. I don't know how they did it since they both use Pearl screens. The K3 screen now looks dull and as though it has a layer in front of it, but the K4 looks terrific.
Photo coming in a few minutes! |

Jack,
what about landscape mode? Did they keep landscape mode? and if does, is the Kindle splitting page in two or not? |
