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.
My largest one sits at the bottom towards the right. The reason why I can see it and find it distracting, is that this one sits right on top of the black line that goes across the bottom, and when I have the PW in front of my eyes in bed, it shines through brightly. The other ones I cannot always see.
