PW2 on left, PW1 on right. Edited to add - the light was on max for both. I also took pics at other light levels if anyone wants to see them, just let me know. I'm pretty sure I have a pic where I have the brightness pictured too, but it makes it so you can't see much of the pic.

That's pretty bad.
I wonder if, in an attempt to improve light diffusion, they have changed the substratum to something that looks more washed-out.
More likely, it is another quality-control issue.
For some reason, all ereaders I have owned, regardless of brand, seemed to suffer from huge within-model variation. Something about the manufacturing process has not been ironed out...
