What do you consider a perfect PW2?
Like Booklover said it is normal with this LED lightning. Under certain ambient light you will not see it. Amazon had an explanation for the PW1, they added it to the PW1 order page after many complaints and returns:

"Under certain lighting conditions, the illumination at the bottom of the screen from the built-in light is not perfectly even. See examples of how the screen looks in different lighting conditions. These variations are normal and are located primarily in the margin where text is not present. The illumination is more even than that created by a book light or lighted cover. The contrast, resolution and illumination of the Paperwhite display is a significant step-up from our prior generation. "

I am not returning mine because I could not deal with the colored blobs or pin holes which my current PW2 does not have.
