I'm convinced that regardless of the yellow issue it's darker at the top than the bottom, like the LED lights are struggling to light the whole screen. As much as I know now I really do want one this one is going back today as faulty.

Nb I have no idea why it's sideways! But I think it's more obvious that way, the top is on the left.

Josieb1 - I am attaching 3 photos I quickly took showing my KPW2 and Aura H2O. They were taken using my iPhone. I used the cover page of the same book since due to the different resolutions, I can't match the fonts perfectly and did not want the fonts to distract from the screen photos.

The first photo shows both in ambient light with the ereader light turned all the way down. It's angled to minimize any glare and shadows on the screens from the window and overhead light.

The second photo shows both in a dark room with their lights at maximum and the third shows them with their lights at 30% for the Kobo and at 12 for the Paperwhite. When I tried to put both ereader's lights at 1/3, the light intensity did not match and I figured it was better to try and match equal light intensities. I think the colour casts noticeable in the photos are mostly from the camera, since I can't see any colour casts in the Aura H2O and the ones in my KPW2 are barely noticeable normally.
