Three were on the left side, and one at the center.
Since they were not disturbing on a blank screen, wich is majority the case when I'm reading a novel, I thought I could deal with it.

Unfortunately yesterday, three more dead pixels (dark points this time).
And the front light is less uniform than one week ago.

So maybe you're right, the H2o is better than any kindle.
But reliable ? I don't think so.
So I'm bringing it back tomorrow, and still don't know if I'll ask for a new one or a refund.
But in another thread, I'm reading about the Voyage having color variations. Cooler on the top 1/2 and yellowish on the bottom 1/2 and a replacement is not available from Amazon until November 26. from what I've read, there is no such thing as a perfect front lit Reader (where they all come without some sort of problem that needs to be returned). They all seem to have some that come with problem(s).
