Mine is 502. I don't have problems with mine either. I think some need to adjust the lighting. But then I never saw colors, only shadows.

I also have a little parrot (conure 25 years), he is colorful, lol. Orange, blue, green, olive colors. I love those colors.

I love conures! I have had some....but they had to go to make room for babies, 15 years ago....I still miss them. SO much personality.

I've had my Paperwhite for a couple days and I haven't been bothered by the screen at all. I don't have any blobs over the text and I only see the shadows near the bottom when I turn the light all the way up.

I got a PW for Christmas (502 batch). Initially I could see a pale green area but no pink and I was planning to keep it. Last night while reading there were very visible pink areas. Those pink areas were *not* there before because I was aware of the screen issues before I got it, so when I received it I checked the screen carefully. I requested a replacement. I am concerned, however, that discoloration that was not there initially developed over the course of 5 days. Even if I get a great screen in this replacement, I'll wonder if that will change over time....

I hope they had to go to good homes. Yes his personality is huge! He is bossy, opinionated and cute as a button. I laugh at him constantly, he doesn't know how cute he is.

What birdies do you have besides your Amazon, how old?

I just looked at my replacement kindle's number on my kindle page, and it's a 503. I was starting to get worried since others were saying you never know with replacements.

They did get good homes, yes, though I have not kept in touch.

Merlin is @ 27, then I have Napoleon the African grey, Timmy the Timneh grey, they are all 3 around the same age. Then there is the baby, Jitterbug the macaw, he will be 19 years old in Feb Yep, I've had them all longer than my kids.

Can someone explain these serial numbers to me? My current one has a "502" in it, and the one they are sending me has both a 501 and a 504 number in the serial number.

Only worried about the last 3 digits of the 2nd block. That you have a 504 towards the end is just coincidence.

*Sigh* That's where the 501 is. Oh well. I guess I'll just wait and see.

Wow 4 birdies. You do get attached after that many years, I know. Have any furniture chewed up? I do, lol.

Received my PW on Dec 20th. It is a '502' and the screen is perfect. Don't read too much into this serial # hype.

Lots of mangled molding in our old house. The room they are in now doesn't even have any molding. They have chewed a bit of the paneling on the walls, but that's my husband's fault, since he was supposed to put up smooth tile board.
