Following receipt of my first on 10/3 (Wifi), I have had two replacements, each far worse than the original. The replacements were green-tinted displays with numerous areas of pink hues, less contrast and slightly darker at the same light level setting. They have been returned. I just received my second pre-order (3G), to give as a gift, and it too is green with pink blotches all over. It is being returned as well. The "best" of the lot was the first one, which I will keep for daytime reading as it is cooler, or more white, with only a faint tinge in one area which goes unnoticed with natural lighting. The contrast and fonts are good but only in a well-lighted room. The very faint shadows at the bottom are almost non-existent to my eyes -- not so with the dreadful color blotches in low lighting.
It is truly a shame that the abysmal quality control has dampened the enthusiasm for what should have been a great device.
