When you guys have some extra time, check how your color vision is with this online test. It is certainly an eye opener. It does not work on tablets/phones. |
I did this in my bedroom last night and scored 30, tried it again this morning in daylight and got 0, quite surprising as while my eyesight is fine, I don't think I've great colour vision. From the couple of photos posted of PW2 with colour hues I can see them very faintly, but there were a few of the pictures posted of the original PW last year that I couldn't see any.

I'm in total agreement with this. It seems pinholes are the main issue this year and the colour hues & any other faults are minimal, but there is still a bit of variation. So mainly a manufacturing issue? I think it's telling that the Kobo Aura looks to be similarly affected by pinholes, but while the Kobo Aura HD did have some examples of this problem, it was far less. It was made in limited quantities and is a little more expensive, so tighter quality control in the manufacturing process?
I am ready to upgrade from my Kindle 3, but have now all but ruled out the Kobo Aura due to a couple of other issues apart from the pinholes, so was hoping the PW2 would be the answer. Not sure it's going to be though, unless I'm willing to keep sending it back until I get a perfect one, or wait a little longer until they fix what is hopefully just early manufacturing issues. We shouldn't have to do that though.
