Not saying you're wrong, but wonder what you're basing that on. Amazon reviews? We'd have to know how many of those reviewers even use it for reading I suppose. There's a fairly long thread on Amazon's forums complaining about the issue & it's enough of an issue that they changed the product page to make mention of it. No doubt it's great hardware overall, but this is certainly a real issue for some users.
Personally I've seen three 7" HDX's. HDX 1 was a display model at Best Buy and had a very small blue fringe that if I had to guess I'd say wouldn't bother a lot of folks although it would have stopped me from buying after I tried reading just a few pages and found it distracting. HDX 2 is owned by a guy in our office building and his blue fringe is a little more prominent than HDX 1, but he doesn't care as long as his movies and games look okay, which they do. He said he hasn't read a book since college (25 years ago) and has no plans to start. HDX 3 is owned by a friend who bought it for his kid after loving his own HDX 8.9. This one has blue that extends over an inch onto the screen and is very noticeable so he's going to try for a replacement.
