I know I am preaching to the choir here, but I just don't understand: did they not see there were color hues as they were developing the technology, did they take a calculated risk despite the color hues, or are the hues not supposed to be there and Amazon is taken by surprise? Only in the third scenario would this issue then be fixable on this version of the PW. Did they only have a handful of engineeers working on this technology, and do these engineers all have some color sight weakness? |

Yes I do need a day like that. Today though I was snoring instead. I could probably nap even more, I am that exhausted. I need to buy a book. If I buy a book I will feel better. It's my drug of choice. |

I agree with everything you said, although I am still hoping that the 2nd generation PW will be better. I look at the Kobo Glow and and Nook Glow Light and there are no color hue issues at all. I know they both use IR screens. Surely Amazon can at least solve that issue. (LOL about the baby diaper bit. ) Quote:
It's still far better than my previous PW's, but it bothers me that I ever see them at all. As far as the engineers... I think something in the process got screwed up and I really don't know if I believe they are working on a fix at this time. If they are, I don't think we will see if anytime soon. Maybe in the PW 2. |

Well, the good news is at least Amazon has not said this is normal variance and these units are performing within normal specs!
If there's no fix, they can just replace units for unhappy customers and change the design for new improved pw 2 without ever acknowledging there ever was a problem. The pw is selling like hot cakes and most people are happy with their screen. They don't need to lie. They just need to keep mum. So I think they do have a fix, or at least they think they have a fix. I think it's a problem that crept up when they went to mass production. It's going to take a little time to implement it. |
