That's exactly what I meant when I said it's possibly the capacitive touch screen of the Kindle that is causing issues. It makes sense since the Kobo Glo is still using infra red touch screen and therefore has one less layer and it isn't having this type of problem.
Is the capacitive touch screen really that much better than the infra red for Amazon to have risked having two layers on the screen? They obviously thought so but then didn't foresee these discolouration problems. Maybe not an inherent fault in the tech, since there are clearly plenty of very good screens out there, but just something that needs tighter quality control?
