As of right now at the PW 2013 page at Amazon there are 45 reviews of which 33 are five star and 2 are one star. One of those two complains he cannot play audible books on it and the other says his instructions came in French (he probably pressed French on the opening screen).

Its like last year's complaints here of discolored screens. The PW 2012 shows right now 17,087 reviews of which 10,964 are five star reviews and 813 are one star reviews.

If you want to find flaws, stare at any surface for 30 minutes in a concentrated way and you WILL find them aplenty. That is called Optical Illusions as contrasted with hallucinations which are only in one's mind. Optical Illusions are REAL as perceived but do not exist in reality.

Those pinhole reports here today on the PW 2013 are like the multicolor reports here last year.
They're not imagining things but people (especially on these forums) have way to high of expectations when it comes it comes to their devices. It almost borders on paranoia.
