I do hope that amazon will not force people to buy tablets. They should keep at least 1 e-ink device.

Can review defectives.

However, most folks, who return defectives for a refund, lose interest in those discussions. |

I must have been a Nook GlowLight. Target does not list the Kobo Glo on its site at all.

I probably missed the distinction when I was first asked. It must have been the GlowLight, since it had the "N" home button.

Don't understand the fuss
I would class myself as fussy. I've had each generation of Kindle as it's come out as well as 3 x Sony. I think the Paper White is brilliant and far, far better than any of them. Yes the light is slightly uneven at the bottom but lets face it this is still an emerging technology and doesn't effect my reading. A solid 5 stars

It's great that some people are getting good screens and are perfectly happy with their new Kindle's but Amazon are really letting the ball drop here with poor quality control. I probably won't upgrade this year, but if I did, right now I'd buy a Kobo Glo over a Paperwhite... (although as I'm not desperate for a light, I'd probably just go with the improved K4).

Keep in mind, though, that these discolored screens only really look that way without any ambient light and low PW light levels.
If you do not read in "person next to me will wake up if there is any light" scenarios but with some ambient light (which can still be low enough to make reading on the Kindle uncomfortable if it had no light) discolorations do not really exist. On my Kindle PW it has a green shadow in the upper center at light level 5-10 and no ambient light. With my bed lamp on (but still not close to the Kindle - meaning I couldn't read well with a non-lit Kindle) and the PW on 18 however the screen is perfectly white. The only thing which is still there are the shadows on the lower end of it, but the effect of these is so miniscule that I find people who complain about them considerably more irritating than the lights themselves.
