But, with the greatest respect, taking pictures of the screen in the dark with the light on maximum brightness, although it certainly emphasises the colour fringes on the screen, it's not a realistic depiction of what the screen looks like in everyday use. I certainly don't have the screen on maximum brightness when I read in the dark - do you? And in daylight, on medium light levels, colour fringing will be a lot less visible, if visible at all.
My point is simply that these are not defective units (I'm not talking about the one you had with the misaligned screen - that clearly WAS defective). They may not be to the user's personal liking, but that doesn't mean that they're defective. If a person swaps a PW five times before they get a unit that they personally like, that's probably wiping out all Amazon's profit from at least a dozen "normal" sales, and that's going to lead to higher prices for everybody. If someone is unhappy with the colour fringing that's inherent in the light diffuser, it would be a lot more sensible to buy a different reader instead. It's unreasonable to expect Amazon to supply them with limitless devices until they finally receive one which satisfies their personal whim about what's a good screen (IMHO).
