I just received two repacements, and one won't even turn on and says it needs repair (ghosted on the screen)!! The other one has one white spot and three dark ones above it that at first I thought were on top of the screen, but it must be something stuck underneath the screen, as I can't rub it away. It looks like a flower with three petals. Arrrgh.

After so many returns it is possible Amazon is starting to recycle those as replacements. Sounds like you got doubly bent over the barrel on your replacements.

I'm not sure what I want to do. I will read on the replacement for the rest of the week and then either keep it or send both back and wait for the 2nd generation PW.
Oh, and it still came with Special Offers, so there was no upgrade.

My box is also labeled with the "R" as are most/all from what I'm reading. I'm sorry the replacement isn't better. I'm not totally pleased with mine either, but it is better than attaching a big heavy MightyBright to it, though just... So I'll keep it. But I plan to continue giving Amazon hell about this lackluster upgrade they call Paperwhite.
Hey we should start a thread on what PW could stand for:
PW =
Please Wait for your next replacement.
PW =
Paper Whiz because the color closely resembles the spot on the carpet after my cat whizzed on it.
PW =
Paper Where? because I don't see anything here that even remotely resembles paper.
