Everyone sees things differently and I'm just sorry that once again this year, MR PW buyers have angst over what real or imagined "imperfections" their PW will have 
Personally, I never put much import in internet comments as you never know the agenda of posters (including myself of course). But for me only, this is the best ereader currently available. |
The problem is eInk varies so much some will have a good screen and maybe little to no yellow and some will have too much yellow and greyish text. So you can't go by anyone's posts here to make your decision. It's a gamble. You order and hope you get a good one that you are happy with.
Last year I waited till the third batch and I got a really good one on the first try. No color blobs and even lighting while others didn't have such good luck. It has nothing to do with me seeing things differently it has to do with Amazon's Quality Control which I know they could fix as they did it for the K4 when they released the improved version.
So it all comes down to do you want one bad enough to try it and return it till you get one you like if you're not one of the lucky ones.
