My Kindle PW is scheduled for delivery on Oct 11. I have a Kindle HD 32 Gb scheduled for delivery on Oct 25.

Should I cancel my PW order? I'll go by the majority opinion of those who respond after my post. Please state reasons if I should cancel the PW.

There is a possibility that the splotch problem at the bottom of the screen was a defect in the first run on Oct 1. Possibly, the second run on Oct 11 may have that problem corrected.

I've already seen some complaints on the Amazon forum that the lack of sound is a serious problem for some folks.

Its possible that the next firmware upgrade will totally eliminate the blotches as well.

Its also possible that SO models have the blotches and NSO models do not. If that is the problem, one can easily convert from SO to NSO for a $15.00 free at the "Manage Your Kindles" site.
