Kindle Paperwhite - First Impressions

So after the rigamarole of getting the Kindle I finally got one today.It came partly charged so I was able to turn it on right away. No, I didn't do any unboxing since there's plenty of those on the net already. This is just me and my Kindle.I opted for the 3G version for the "just in case" moment. Do I really need it? Likely not, but there's enough travel involved that I'll be happy if I can use it the couple of times I really want to. I also opted for the one with the "special offers." I think they actually add value somehow. They don't get in the way of reading; it just shows up on the lock screen and the home screen -- it doesn't get in the way of the actual reading. And you might save some $$ in the process.So, what's it like?Up there I have the brightness turned most of the way down. It's on 8 of 24. An interesting observation I made is that the front-light never turns off, even at the minimum brightness!And cranked up it's more than bright enough. Honestly I don't know if I would ever even turn it up past 10 ever... I don't see the need.Yes, I know the screen looks the same, but look at my legs in the background!This is one of the few shots that you can see the LEDs that provide the front-lighting thought the film in from the of e-ink display. For the most part, in just reading, I don't see it at all. It's a lot better than what I've seen of the Nook glow-light.I have to say that the screen does look noticeably nicer than the previous generation Kindle.I'll read on it for a few days and report back, but so far I think we have a winner!  :-D
