My screen has a very tiny pinhole in one corner. With a black background (e.g. the Kindle hillside that appears during boot-up), it stands out very clearly, but it doesn't interfere with regular reading since it sits in the margin at the bottom of the page. I'm going to play with it for another week. If I find that I can't keep my eyes off of the speck, I'll exchange it--but given that I have to actively look for it (white speck on creamy white background), it really isn't a big deal.
