I bumped this up because a person on the
Amazon forums posted that he/she is a flight attendant and had some folks from PVI (?) on a flight.
Quote:
I actually had the guys who work for the company that develops and manufactured the screens for the Kindle on my flight last week. They are apparently unaware of this issue, they didn't mention anything regarding feedback from customers or from Amazon about this problem.
They said that Version 2 of the Kindle is in production, it would suck to not address this issue before Version 2 comes out and Amazon is replacing Kindles over and over again because of this.

No mention of a date for availability so it could be October 2008 or 2009 or 2010...
One other thing, it seems multiple passes through xray machines (remember flight attendant) have caused the Kindle to be replaced 3 times due to black spots on the screen.
