I read for about 40 minutes at bedtime and another 20 this morning, so I think I'm around 90 minutes reading time with the PW2 (I'm not counting all the exploring time with settings menus).

The overly bright left LED with the purple blotch doesn't bother me in daylight, but it's more noticeable at night. I drop down to Level 2 and the purple blotch disappears, but Level 3 and up the purple blotch appears.

I seem to like Level 5 or 6 best in my nearly dark bedroom, and Level 16 while commuting to work, and you can see it at both levels. I think it doesn't bother me too much because it's on the left, where I hold the Kindle, so my eye almost naturally skims over it since it's so close to my hand?

If it doesn't get worse I think I can live with it.

For PW1 owners - do color blotches spread, or did they stay the same over time?
