On my screen the discoloration is most noticeable when at high brightness levels. At lower levels the color retreats. Magenta and green clouds. I doubt that brightness level is much correlated with 'drying time' or whatever it is. In total darkness I have to turn brightness all the way down to zero or it is too bright. Conversely full bright does not seem as bright as it should be.

The whole experience is so subjective and variable (depending on small changes to ambient light), that I am having a lot of trouble deciding if the screen properties are changing, getting better, or getting worse. There's no reference to compare it to. Kindle Touch screen properties are so different that it is like comparing apples to oranges. In the end I may wind up requesting a replacement just so I can have two instances of the device that I can compare side to side.

I went through this with my first Kindle Touch as well and wound up keeping the one originally shipped.
