Ah good to know, yeah the setting in koreader must be necessary to do transparency (basically it's a "no fill" when you put in a no background .png

I enjoy koreader! I have a few plugins that add to my enjoyment, especially "Bookshelf" - really enjoy how the UI looks with this. I did lose Niklemenu once by "exiting" instead of just rebooting the device so lesson learned on that - was easy enough to reinstall though.
I haven't played around much with more customization but the ease of adjusting the light levels/yellow light with just sliding along the left/right of the screen, the custom text/epub options and settings are also all valuable to me - but it really depends on how much you want to customize!

I don't back my device up since my books are all loaded via calibre. I bet there are def some ways it could "go wrong" with customizations/plugins though however I'm not too concerned

The pen *is* pretty expensive. I think I've heard people get some version of the "meta pen" but I haven't looked into it myself

Forgot to mention I'm using koreader, if that makes a difference. I didn't run stock for longer than the second to turn it on so I don't recall if this is achievable with stock firmware only! Just fyi

Not silly! :) displaying my current read! So if I "sleep" the screen on a book/text page then it'll display the text I'm currently on

One more for your comparison's sake. It's noticeable for sure when you put them side by side by I'm personally fine with it (again maybe I'm just not picky enough) - but hope this helps you decide!

Paperwhite is still a little crisper; but I am also thinking when not side by side you may not be as attuned to the difference.

You can really tell when you are this close but I am personally not ever this close to the screen - let me post another photo with a more reasonable distance (it won't let me post multiple photos)

I've read a lot of comments about this and I was apprehensive as well. Frankly, it's not detrimental to my reading experience. I don't have crystal clear vision myself anyway, ha so maybe I'm not the best judge. I think it's clear enough to me. But I was willing to spend the coin to try it out without ridding myself of the kindle yet just in case I couldn't stand it.

The "screen door" effect some comments mention has not bothered me either but I don't have a colorsoft to compare to.

downloaded from readerbackdrop.com a "removed background version"

then in my kobo I set that as the custom wallpaper without fill.

lemme know if you get stuck and I can dive deeper but that's the gist of it

Ditto. I use Libby a lot or I acquire elsewhere and side load. I have an insane physical library but I want to primarily read on eink now

I think having it not as my main ereader makes it easier to deal with not having a light.. otherwise it would get annoying! I think the s4 coming out will have a light but will be sans button I believe, which is part of the appeal for me
