Now you all have made me curious to see a 503, and to see if there's any difference to the "hue" of the light; wither it's a warmer yellow than the 502.
Ordered a new ( I wanted to see if they fixed the screen issue)
one after 3 color blob PWs. My new one is a 503 much better then all the previous units I received, the stage lighting on the bottom is less noticeable but I have more light bleed on the left side of unit. Very light pink hue almost midway on the screen very faint. No perceivable difference in the led color from the other paperwhites I received. Cannot say I'm jumping for joy with this unit as I was hoping for no coloration problems, but it is better then the others. I'm beginning to think the second generation will be the only answer to the coloration problem.
