Those pinholes would not even be noticeable without the red lines around them. There are far more white spots in that picture.

In a normal reading pane fonts only occupy less than 10% of screen mass and background 90%. The odds of seeing those on a letter must be a 100 to 1 against the occurrence. Even if you saw it on a letter, it would not impede reading the font.

Accumulated dust would be far more of a problem and could be just cleaned off on a periodic basis if it became noticeable.

The only way they would be noticeable is if you used white fonts on a black background and, even then, they would be irrelevant.

That is the reason that not one of the one star reviews on the PW 2013 page at Amazon has even mentioned pin holes.

Order another PW 2013 and just live with "problems" like that if it happens again. It is really a great reading device.
