I understand that you are bothered by the blue border but the fact still remains most people do not even seen an issue with it or even notice that there is one there. So, my point is that you try your best to drive the HDX down, spew false info like the HD screen is better than the HDX scree and take pot shots at the HDX every time you get a chance. OTOH, trumpet the Nexus 7 and HD as better devices.
I know you were disappointed with the blue border but for 90% of people there is either no problem or they don't notice it. It would be one thing if the device doesn't appeal to you because of the border and you stated so, but you've gone on what amounts to a campaign against it. Not only that but Amazon lists on the product page that some people might notice a blue border on it, so it is not a matter of people not being told about it anymore.

Now wait one minute I have never said the HD has better screen than the HDX?!?
This place is called MobileRead for reason people come here want the best
reading experience the other stuff like movies and games isn't important and in reading experience the Nexus 7 wins because of text rending and the HDs wins because of the blue border ruins the reading on the HDX. You may not use Sepia but I know from being here years and when the first Kindle Fire came out most people here do use that theme and the blue border really shows up on that theme and if you get one like my HDX 3 it shows up on everything.
Just because not many people notice the border it's still a issue that is very real on some units and people need to be made aware of it and that's what these forums are for. If you go look into the Kindle forum you will see many talking about the Paperwhite it's color blobs and pinhole issues. That's what this place is here for to talk about these things.
The forum people here are my friends and I don't want them to make uniformed decision and wind up with a headache. I care about these people so yes I am going to continue to post my experience.
