Everyone keeps talking about these hues... I don't know if I was fantastically lucky or if I am just blind as a bat, but my device is hueless, with a single dust speck in the middle of the screen (completely ignorable) and a whitish-yellow screen cast. Batch 502. I've never had to send one back: this is not only the only Paperwhite I've ever owned but the only one I've ever seen, now I'm not riding the trains every day and surrounded by other Kindlers.
I was actually expecting hues and was very surprised to not get any -- given that the Paperwhite's light guide is basically a fibre optic cable on its side mixed with a diffraction grating, I expected some diffraction effects, but I can see none.

The shadows at the bottom are also alot more noticeable than any other PPW I've seen, even though yes I know these are 'normal'.

The visibility of the shadows depends on the external light level and the LED level, so probably one of those is different.
