Hmm... well I hesitated to respond, but here it goes anyway.
With all due respect to everyone, but I noticed a tendency in this thread to be overly critical, to the point of (IMO) obsessively trying to find even the slightest irregularities.
Jeez - this thing is supposed to be an e-reader. You read read books on it. You know, books which consist only of letters. The entire joy comes from the immersion.
I have a Paperwhite (1st generation), and it's not absolutely perfect. It has those light shadows at the bottom, and if I look very closely, I think it even has blotches, meaning that some parts of the screen are minimally darker/lighter than others. It may even have some slight light bleeding at the bottom left. But guess what: if I'm actually reading a book, I don't notice any of these.

I guess that nobody would be upset if every Kindle was perfectly lit, had perfect contrast, etc. But for the time being, the technology just doesn't seem to be 100% perfect, and there are some small irregularities. I simply fail to understand the huge buzz around those. It seems like some people are simply unable to live with a 99.5% good device, but need at least 101%.
