I got one of those and my screen is a perfect white at PW level 22.

Bright light in dark rooms doesn't bother me at all but I really never read there anyway.

However, I usually SLEEP in a dark room. The darkest environment I read in is at my rocking chair by the window on a cloudy day. Being retired, I spend a lot of time there in cloudy days and sunny days.

I always have to lower the shades half way when reading my Kindle Fire at that location to prevent glare. I never have to lower the shades for my Paperwhite.

I can hold my Paperwhite at all angles and the screen and font contrasts are PERFECT.

I posted a picture of my unit elsewhere on the Forum. Others spotted a light on one corner and shadows on the bottom. I could not see them either in the photo or the actual device.

However, vision capability may be a factor. I have a large cataract in one eye (I can read and see perfectly out of it) and a small cataract in my other eye. Maybe those cataracts are filtering out the defects.

Maybe those with perfect vision are having all these problems with the screens.

Jack has had lots of PW replacements to date. Maybe he should just request a refund and buy the PW again in December after Amazon has finally corrected the problems.
