Can a book cause trouble if its from Amazon and not one of your own that you converted? |

I was wrong to criticize the critics of the PW. I assumed that the slight uniformity issues I have with mine are what was being described as unacceptable. Now seeing the A vs B of Jack's post I no that there are large variations in quality between models. I guess I just lucked out, and will respect that not everyone did.

PW is now scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I already had the 3G but I think I've been upgraded to one w/o SO.

Terrific! They had listed my replacement as not being an SO but it turned out to be one after all, but I did get the 3G. I really didn't care about the SO as I like having it. I already saved 90% on buying Boardwalk Empire via the replacement's SOs!

Just received the replacement PW which came in a box labeled with an "R" BTW. It is better than my original but there is still some splotchiness. There are fewer splotches, that aren't in a diagonal pattern and the main one is higher up on the page.
I'm not sure what I want to do. I will read on the replacement for the rest of the week and then either keep it or send both back and wait for the 2nd generation PW. Oh, and it still came with Special Offers, so there was no upgrade. |

I just received two repacements, and one won't even turn on and says it needs repair (ghosted on the screen)!! The other one has one white spot and three dark ones above it that at first I thought were on top of the screen, but it must be something stuck underneath the screen, as I can't rub it away. It looks like a flower with three petals. Arrrgh. Last edited by xendula; 10-08-2012 at 02:12 PM. |

Hey we should start a thread on what PW could stand for: PW = Please Wait for your next replacement. PW = Paper Whiz because the color closely resembles the spot on the carpet after my cat whizzed on it. PW = Paper Where? because I don't see anything here that even remotely resembles paper. |

Could be, but I have seen no reports of a device having this repair blurb on the screen out of the box.
I have been on the phone with CS for the past 40 min. and they keep telling me they can't send any replacements before 10/16. This is slowly making me dislike Amazon, and I have been their biggest fan and converted a ton of people to kindlites!! With the other kindles, they were just awesome quality out of the box.

I remember how disappointed I was with my K4S and the replacement was not much better. Now I finally got a good eReader (K4B) I so do not want to go through all that again. |
