color blobs (green, pink, and blue color hues on the screen)
black specks
glowing specks
one LED brighter
various black shadows on the bottom - some units worse than others
Some screens brighter than others
When I type it out that way it's pretty depressing actually.  It makes it seem very difficult to find a PW where none of these problems exit.
I actually went back and looked at my Kindle Keyboard and K5 last night just see if the screens really were perfect. I was wondering if maybe I missed something in the past, like a black speck. They were both absolutely perfect. After my PW experience that seems almost shocking now. |
I have the same list and two more:
Bright vertical light strip along the bottom left corner
Large bright spot at the first lightguide "intersection" from the bottom up, around 4 rows from the bottom.
I look at my little black NT and the screen is absolutely perfect. It's the lightguide technology that's the culprit here!
Michele, all my books are kindle ebooks, and I have a huuuuge TBR pile, and seem to be piling more and more onto it every day. Also, I love that I can send library books right to my Kindle without having to connect it to my laptop first. And, ultimately, I read so much that the price diffence between Amazon and Kobo would be painful pretty fast. So, even with all these problems, I just can't see myself moving away from Amazon. Yes, I am jealously eyeing the Kobo Glo and reading reviews about it, but I remain with Amazon. I love my kindle books. I love the kindle store. I just want to also love my PW. I did buy the black NT, even though I have last year's silver one, just because, but seem to gravitate heavily to the PW regardless.
