If you have this problem you should return your PW2
<irony>A picture is worth a thousand words.</irony>
As you can see my first kindle, had a lower left corner problem, one of the leds didn't work properly, so reading on anything less than 15, created this dark spot, but even then the quality sucked. I requested a replacement on Thursday and got a new one on Friday! As you can see it works fine. Images too large: Spoiler:

I have never seen that problem either, that's pretty bad. Glad you got a good replacement!

This does add a considerable risk of variance into the frontlight design, especially in a screen where mostly only black text is being displayed on a uniform background. The backlight on a, say, TV is much more forgiving to imperfections in the screen due to the complex content displayed that hides imperfections, but a text book is very unforgiving. |

Good you got the Replacement, never seen this Problem either. I made a Comparison between PW1 and PW2 - as you can see, the PW2 is much brighter..
