I would agree with you.
The fact is, this is a new technology, where it might not be possible yet to get a consistently uniform screens in terms of 1) lighting - due to the inherent design of using LED bulbs that cause the mild shadowing effects and 2) coloration - zero to severe coloration patches.
Given that most of us are used to iPads and tablets with very uniform screens (using a different and more mature lighting technology) and e-Ink devices (without lighting) I believe that many of us were expecting the same level of precision and consistency. I doubt that will be achievable and the initial advertising from Amazon promised extreme uniformity.
Obviously, the quality control will improve over time and many people should just calm down and accept that a sample of initial PWs did have defects. Simply put... look at the Amazon website reviews and you will see many give the PW 4 stars or more, whilst a significant minority have complained about the coloration issues.
Based on that sample set, it seems like most people will get either a perfect or acceptable PW, and for those that don't you can always exchange it for a replacement PW. Hope it doesn't put people off getting this device because it has been easily the best ereading device I have used, despite the teething problems in manufacturing.
