Waaah, I really don't know what to do!!!

Ok, so here goes. I've said similar thing in another thread so if anyone already read it, please don't pay attention.

The PW I have is very good, there is no fault about it, no discoloration, no pin holes, no shadow exept bottom (which is normal) It has lower light levers that others I read of, I read at 12 in darkness and 18 to 24 in daylight. With my light sensitive eyes it suits me fine and I enjoy yellow tint it has at night because it doesn't hurt my eyes.
I could wish for darker letters as on my PW black is actually dark grey. All in all I like it very much and cannot find anything faulty - except battery doesn't hold as long as I wish. With light high on and reading for several hours (2,3 or more) and changing pages fast with full refresh - how long should battery last? Because mine is for a few days (wifi off) Is that normal? There was a thread on PW battery here but I couldn't find it.

Now, I am in a non Amazon country in Europe, meaning I would have to return it to USA, which would cost me I'd imagine 30€, registered. Oh the nerves if it arrives in one piece, if at all, you never know. No import taxes refund so another 20 to 30€ lost.

Reorder new one and pray it has no faults, good screen, unknown technology and is not too bright.
Sigh. That's why I am on the fence and REALLY don't know what to do. Taking all the above into account is returning REALLY worth it? I cannot wait for first review as I have time till September 21. There are moments when I feel like packing it up and then there are moments when I think it would be really stupid (and costly). Katsunami said already I should keep it and not bother. And firmware will be probably delivered OTA. But if I keep it and everyone starts singing songs of praise how good the new one is I will feel stupid too.
I will be kicking myself either way, it is just my character.

Anyway guys, thanks for reading my rant it will soon be over anyway.
