I don't have either, but have been thinking of getting one. When I compare the original Kindle to the Paperwhite in the store, the Paperwhite contrast seems almost too high; I think I would find it hard to look at that brilliant white background for very long. The original is easier on the eyes.

Is the Paperwhite contrast adjustable?
The backlight is what makes the background so brilliant; the backlight is adjustable. It ranges from "tiny sun" to "faint phosphor glow"
Yes it is. I just bought one a week ago and it is really comfortable. Too bad it doesn't have auto adjust, but configuration is just two clicks away.
OP here. It actually is pretty dimable at the point that you can read comfortably at a totally dark room.
