My Paperwhite arrived today
and, as far as I can tell, the screen is flawless. No hotspots or color blooms, at least not yet. I only spent as long on it as needed to get it hooked up to house wifi, and it's charging as I type.
The spotlight effect is faint but noticeable along the bottom of the screen, but I don't imagine that it will annoy me as I get used to it - it only goes up a line or so onto the screen itself.
It was a bit of a challenge getting the house wifi password entered (oops, that's a B, not an 8!), but I was impressed at the touch screen sensitivity - not too much, not too little, and the virtual keyboard had the keys nicely sized for my fingers.
I won't be able (well, won't be willing) to take it out of the house until the case I ordered for it arrives - I'd be worried about damaging the screen if I toss it into my purse unprotected.
But I'm so excited! First thing I do, before I load any books on it even, is to play with fonts...
