A PIN hole or slight imperfections in the screen while using a flashlight and / or magnifying glass should not cause one to give it up. That would be like giving up one of the new self driving cars, which I own, because the leather cover on the steering wheel has a WRINKLE.

The function of the device is to READ BOOKS - not be a work of art. Every print book I have seen has occasional page defects (wrinkles, light print, illegible fonts, etc.). Why should the PW 2013 be free of all defects?
If the defect/problem/issue is one that bothers you, then the ease of reading is reduced. Ease of reading could be reduced enough that it's too much of a bother. That's why the exchanges.

You may be less sensitive to color blotches, light spills/bright places and pinholes but others may not be. Don't try to say others are wrong when they say they see these things and that they are a bother. All you are doing is getting others annoyed at you.
