Guys, I'm green with envy over here. Another week for me before I can lay my hand on her.

Here are finally pics of mine. Anyone else see that the top is pinkish and the bottom greenish? By no means as drastic as last year, but I am just so sick of green and pink.

I do see it on yours xendula, yes. It's not bad like last years, but I see it nonetheless. :\

Is the last photo of your PW1 on the left and PW2 on the right? If so the PW2 is a great improvement over the PW1 you have. Last edited by jswinden; 10-02-2013 at 10:41 PM. |

I see yours a bit but I think it still looks nice. Didnt you say yours had a pinhole somewhere? I don't see that. Last edited by volwrath; 10-03-2013 at 09:03 AM. |

They're faint, but they are there. I do agree with Dee Q that it looks "good enough," but it's your Kindle and not mine.

I got my PW2 today, and the screen and lighting are a marked improvement over any of the PW1s I tried last year. I still have "Blotchula", the least bad PW1 from my quest last year. The new PW2 doesn't have any noticeable (to me, anyway) pink or gray blobs, like Blotchula has.
I haven't had time to compare it to either of my Kobos yet. |

Yep, it's faint but I see it. Can't say what I'd do personally. I guess I'd try reading a book or two on it and see if it bothered me in actual usage situations. If it did it would go back no matter how much I might like the device overall.

Thanks everyone for answering.
Thing is, good enough is not really what I strive for in a new device I purchase, or else I'd stay with my PW1, so I'm trying for one without issues. Last edited by xendula; 10-02-2013 at 11:12 PM. |

Mine came today and it is superior to my 1st gen PW. Even lighting, noticeably better contrast, even the "white" is a different shade of white more ivory than pale gray.
I have page numbers now, too. My 1st gen PW was fine, no blotches, only minor flaws in the lighting. I read many books on it and have already transferred my books to the new PW. |
