I’ve been eying up this one. Have you used other ereaders before? Have you got anything to compare it to?

I hear that having a screen that isn’t flush with the touch surface really improves the word clarity. I’m not really enjoying my paperwhite 5 because it’s has a weird blurred effect on the screen because it’s flush

This was my first e-reader, but I played around with my mom's Paperwhite 5 for a bit before deciding against it. The UI on the paperwhite is better but you don't really interact with it much for it to be a big problem. I also patched mine using calibre to add some features that aren't present on the stock UI. I'm not sure about the particulars with the display but text and images are fairly crisp. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it
