I don't know, I have bought eight total Kindles

1 K1
3 K2
1 K3
2 DXG
1 PW2

Of those Kindles, one has been returned for a screen defect and that was a K2 with the sun fade problem.

I understand that people are having problems with the PW but I don't think it is all that large a number. Problems are going to be over reported on a site like this one. I know that it doesn't help anyone who is having a problem but I think that the perception that there is a massive QC issue is probably not accurate.

We are never going to see numbers one way or the other but we need to acknowledge that the anecdotal evidence in this case is skewed. It sucks for the people with a bad screen, I hope that they get a good device soon. I don't think that it is more then 5% of the devices and I would be surprised if it was that high.
