I agree on most points, and made the same upgrade (Keyboard to Paperwhite).
I love it, but I have three gripes. Two of them the author mentioned: uneven lighting at the bottom and the lack of physical pageturning buttons. The latter of which is not nitpicky as luigi has stated, it does fundamentally change your most common interaction with the device.
The third problem is that I have to go in to settings to turn off wireless. Their 8-week claim only works if there is no wireless on; otherwise it lasts a paltry couple of days. The old Keyboard model allowed you to turn on/off networking while reading a book. This version forces you to go to the home screen, then to settings, turn off networking, back to home, and finally back to your book. That's obnoxious.
They moved the wireless control to Settings a while ago, with the most recent system software update. I've got a 4th gen Kindle, so maybe that update wasn't supported on the Keyboard version. It pisses me off too.
