I bought two PWs. One is perfectly uniform in lighting. The other has v distracting colors that even my wife immediately noticed. Although I can still technically read on the defective one, the experience is unpleasant with text in the green patch being very dark and muddy. So much so that I need to use external background lighting which defeats the purpose othe lit screen. This is definitely a Quality Control issue with the screen where the light is not being refracted uniformly. Sometimes I cannot even raise the brightness above 14 or the colors appear prominently.
I don't believe that an ereader whose main selling point is the reading experience should come with these coloration defects. Just my opinion.
Good news is that a different customer rep has agreed to ship me a non SO version to HK, free of charge! Now that is great service and has restored my faith in amazon. Hope the replacement is better!
