Boo! Hiss! I checked my tracking info on USPS's website. The zip code listed is for the next town over!

Mine has been sitting at the local Post Office since 9AM and they won't get off their butts and deliver it until after noon tomorrow. Thanks Fed Ex,

It arrived about an hour ago.
And this is par for the course with the local post office. Last month I ordered some knitting supplies that spent a couple of weeks in Detroit before finally entering California. And then spent another week ping ponging between the distribution center and "out for delivery." I'm somewhat disappointed as there is a "dead pixel" (not sure what you call it on an e-ink device) in one corner of the screen. I'm debating whether to exchange it or ignore it. I only noticed it because it showed up as a white spec on the kindle hillside during boot-up. |

It seems both the pinholes and stuck pixel issue have not been resolved. Bad Amazon! At least the color blobs are gone though I never had any, others suffered various forms of it. |

Well Don Quixote really likes his new paper white 2, what do the rest of you think of them?

My PW 2013 is the best eReader I've ever seen. I pity the poor folk listening to all these pinhole and stuck pixel reports and choosing not to buy it.
Some of those folks may actually be going back to print books with fonts forcing a new pair of glasses. |

I read for an hour on it last night, and pretty much forgot the defect was there. I can find it if I intentionally look for it (or with a solid black background), but it doesn't interfere with the text in any way. |

If I get a PW2 I am going to wait till the third batch is out at least. I did that last time with PW1 and got a really good one except it does have two tiny pin holes but you only can see them if you go looking for them and they do not interfere at all with my reading. |

I haven't been on here since late Monday when I reported an Amazon or Lasership snafu. The next morning the tracking updated and it was out for delivery and Lasership delivered at 2pm Tuesday.
It came with the purple paperwhite cover and another weighty item in a box (those items were on a separate order from last week). I'm happy with my PW2. I still like my basic 2012 basic kindle ($69 one). Nice having the light though! |

I like that is feels faster than my PW1, though I am not sure how much of it is due to the fact that my PW1 has hundreds of books on it. Last edited by xendula; 10-06-2013 at 10:35 PM. |
