The screen alone I would rate no higher than 3 stars, and that is supposed to be its big selling point.

I saw one of the Paperwhite commercials on TV last night and really watched it carefully. Of course the screen was turned up to level 24 in every shot! But one time when they showed an angled view from the side I could the blue hue and center shadow, though only for a fraction of a second. I definitely would not have noticed that if not for our bad experiences.
I think I watched the same commercial, but all I saw was white white white, and very black text... absolutely no light cones. It actually made me mad that they are still deceiving customers. At this point, seeing how their unrealistic product description is creating expectations they could not meet even without all the other issues we are experiencing, they should come clean and show customers real product pictures and videos.
