Goes to show we learn more every day! Some are even more particular then I am.  That is good info and great reason why places like this exist. I know Kindle 2 suffered similar woes for many Kindle 1 owners, although part of that was a feature of the new screen then, not an inconsistency.
I still think the level of issues on PW1 and possibly PW2 is on a whole different level though compared to any previous e-ink issues, due to the splotching, specks and LED color/inconsistencies introduced by the added layers. No? |
Yes but it really all boils down to Quality Control and Contrast is the most important out of them all. If you can't read on the reader the other stuff really isn't going to matter but it would seriously suck to get a one with good contrast and have green glowing specks in the middle of the page. The blobs seems to be almost completely fixed on the PW2. So QC has improved in that case. Now we have a sepia issue. Yellow background with poor text contrast makes for one yucky reading experience then add in specks, pinholes and light bleeds and you really are taking a gamble getting a good unit. It's the PW1 all over again
