The problem also gets discussed on the official Amazon product forums, although people seem slightly more likely to get drowned out by others telling them they're overreacting over there.
But more tellingly (to me), and the thing that makes me wonder how widespread it is, is that some of the very first customer images that went up on amazon.com were pictures of the splotchy problem. (I wish there was some unified term we could use, heh. Whenever I refer to screen problems with the PW, I'm talking about the multi-color, upper-half, blue/pink/clouds problem. Not the LED spotlight effect which in all honesty does not bug me (probably because of prior PRS700 use and a decade of reading in the dark with crap lighting of one sort or another). Although I also did not have your font 'weight' problem. Just very obvious blue clouds surrounded by pink clouds.)

He's talking about people who have bad enough problems to get a replacement.
