Hi. This is not a thread where I am complaining about the screen though I wanted to start one just 30 minutes ago.

I bought a Kindle Paperwhite 2 hours ago and when i turned it on, it had pinkish glow on the top and the sides. I freaked out because after reading all the topics here I was worried.

I was on the verge of calling for a replacement when I remembered to try something else first. I hard reset it twice. It worked. The pinkish glow is relatively gone and now is it amazing.

I was also reluctant to order a replacement because I read on a topic from this forum that Amazon sends refurbished items.

Now I'm so damn happy.

Point: Try hard reset before you will ask for a replacement.
