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.) Quote:

I received my PW friday night. I've read most of the reviews and problems people reported but I seem to have a different problem then everyone else. My screen and lighting look good but I have a problem with the page refresh. I set the page to refresh every 6 pages but the device has a mind of its own. It goes between a one page refresh and 6 page every few minutes while reading. (its not me changing the setting). And when it does the one page refresh it is slow slower than my kindle 3 or prs350.

I put about 40 books in it last night. I left it plugged in and by morning when I checked it was finished indexing. When I started reading in the morning I thought it was fine but after a few minutes it started acting up again. Then after another few minutes its works fine again. |

How can you guys tell when it's indexing?

From Home screen press the search icon and search for anything. If it is still indexing it will tell you it has X books left to index. I think if you search within a book that has not been indexed it will say the book has not been indexed yet.

And, I only had three books on the device at the time, so no indexing in the background. |

@alism and @xendula. Might be a firmware issue then. Just to be clear though, are we talking about slow page refreshing in Kindle books or in PDFs or in Manga?

This is why I'm wondering what kind of docs they are experiencing the issue in. I'm thinking graphic heavy docs will be an issue, but books shouldn't normally be a problem.

I noticed it reading "OSX Mountain Lion: The Missing Manual" by David Pogue. The refresh is normal until it hits a page with a figure (graphic) in it.

Also - the battery ratings, I read, were for a setting of 10. The higher you go, the more the effect on battery, of course...
