[citation][nom]ubercake[/nom]This is one thing I noticed too going from the keyboard Kindle to the paperwhite. I liked the buttons a lot better on the keyboard Kindle as the touchscreen is a bit laggy. All things considered, though, you can't beat the ability to read in any lighting conditions (no light all the way to direct sun light) with the Paperwhite. The lack of the keyboard is a little annoying, but if you think about how infrequently you use it, it's not so bad.[/citation] I tried the Paperwhite and returned it, hated it. I have a couple of iPads here but wanted just a reader with no other distractions at all. The uneven glow at the bottom of the Paperwhite screen always was a bother.. urgh. Plus, I honestly think the fonts on theh 4th generation-black Kindle are better and easier to read.... I'm getting one of those to do the reading-only thing..
 
I know what you're talking about with the uneven lighting at the bottom, but this is the only place where the lighting is uneven. It doesn't affect the books' text. It's below the text. It's even where the text is. I will be looking at the next gens as well because there might be a color version since Amazon bought the company that makes that colorwet (or whatever it's called) tech.
