Kindle Paperyellow?
So, I have two problems with this new kindle. First - The light is just too yellow in comparison to paperwhite 1 and 2 (as can be seen in the photos I'm providing). Also, the light is weaker, which makers for a not so good experience while reading in a bright lit ambient). I'm not sure if my device is simply defective or if this new yellowish and weaker light is by design, if it is, I don't like it and think it should probably be advertised, maybe a change name to kindle paperyellow? Second: The 300dpi thing is quite meh (in comparison to 212 and even 167 of the pw1), I mean, is it better? Yes, I guess it is but - Will it make much of a difference? Well, maybe if you read using the largest setting, but even then just a small difference... Oh, also bookerly, it is a nice typeset, but I still prefer Caecilia and Palatino... A matter of taste, I know... Still, not much of a thing having this new typeset, even if one prefers it... Btw, why can't we just side-load our favored typesets as is some other brads reading devices? That would be an improvement. And what I like about it? Well, the same I did like about the previous devices, it is still a good ereader and I could probably get used to it, but I still prefer the previous version, both one and two, in my opinion, make for a better overall reading experience. The photos. They are, from left to right, Paperwhite 1, Paperwhite 3 (the current version), and Paperwhite 2.
