It's like trying to read an old book with the yellowed pages. It almost hurts my eyes.

That is the way Kindle eInk readers have been shipped since at least 2009. The single box is engineered for shipping and protection, and does a fine job of both. That is not to say the delivery guys didn't play basketball with it, but then no packaging would protect against that!
