You try it out. If you have the defect, Amazon is more than willing to send you a replacement free and you can send the defective one back.

I do think the QA at the manufacturing facility is suspect, given other people who have had issues with buttons not being properly seated. The sunlight issue has to be a manufacturing defect in the displays, so that's E Ink's fault and not Amazon's, though I'm somewhat baffled as to explaining a mechanism for the flaw. If UV light somehow messes with the screen, the ones that work fine must have some sort of coating that the others didn't get. Or perhaps there's some gas in the screen matrix that the UV light excites?
To reiterate, the good K2s seem to work fine. It's just there's a lot of bad K2s out there, which Amazon is replacing as fast as they can.
