Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After using the new Kindle for almost a full week I must say it really is fantastic. at first look at it out of the box, I will admit I was shocked like most people. What are these "blotches,smudges, etc?". But with all things some people expect perfection at first glance, while others like me know you need to "tweak" things to your liking.... I think the more people realize this, they will find that the Paperwhite is not as flawed as they make it seem. First off ignore the "direction" on how to use your light. The "turn up in bright light, down in dim" rule needs to be removed, it is here that people will find the disappointment. What you need to do is adjust the light to the lighting in the room you are in, to the point you really don't notice the lighting at all. When the lighting on screen and in room merge together evenly you will find Paperwhite bliss. Clear,concise, crisp text on screen, no "smudges" on the lower half, no pink/blue tints nothing but your words staring back at you. Even in complete darkness you will be able to find this sweet spot of light setting, where you can see your text nice and clear and even the "smudges" are invisible. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely, but the Kindle Paperwhite is currently the best ereader out there hands down. It works flawlessly, page turns are fast, lighting when used properly is amazing. I have owned all the Kindle versions and this by far is the biggest leap forward of any of them. Spend more than five minutes with your new Kindle, play with your light settings, and just read more before writing your review, I think if you do that you will really see the joy of this newest version of the greatest ereader on the market.
