The Kindle Paperwhite 2 had a similar issue with not being recognized by Mac computers until FW 5.4.2 fixed the issue. Amazon needs better programmers.

I finally got into a Best Buy and saw the 7" and 8.9" HDX. Even under the store lights I could clearly see the blue tinge, it would drive me crazy in normal light, other than that its a fantastic tablet, I cannot believe how fast it is. The 8.9" model does not show this so its a real head scratcher why the 7" Had to be thi way. It's too bad I might get a 7" if it was not for this, I also got to sse a Ipad Mini with etina and its a huge upgrade to the original. the screen and size would make this my ereader tablet of choice, if I could actually pony up the $$$

I had a nexus at one point it's a great tablet but I didn't care for its aspect ratio for reading I feel the minis 4:3 ratio serves it better as an ereader

I prefer the ratio on the N7.2 to 4:3 of a eReader. I haven't touch one since I started reading on my tablet. The font rendering is just amazing.

I don't read in landscape or two column view. So for me the Nexus 7.2 has an excellent page display. |

Picked up a 32 GB hdx and received it today. Overall in liking it alot, while I can notice the blue fringing its not bothersome in the light I will be using the device in. I'm glad I took a chance on one.

That would drive me nuts if I was going to use it as a reader. Comics shouldn't be too bad a problem but reading on it like the pic you post would give me a migraine. It looks like the border though is smaller and more inform then the ones I own so that's a plus.

Me too. I'm glad it doesn't bother scarpad though. Being an amateur photographer, that blue fringe looks like photos taken with cheap, crappy lenses! Yukkk!!!!!!

I just got my HDX this week and the battery discharges VERY FAST if the Kindle is taken outdoors in cold weather. Last night I was using it at a bar and the battery was down to 55% by the time I left. After about an hour outside with temperatures in the mid 20s, waiting for the bus and then walking home from the closest stop, the charge was down to 2%!
