Here's a picture (I posted over on a different site, too). I see pretty much every single color - pink, green, orange... Ugh. 
If you're astute, you'll be able to make out the hint of the stage-light shadows at the bottom of the screen. This also varies between the three units I have, but it's visible if you're very, very picky.
Image violates guidelines for size - MODERATOR |
I'm also seeing a yellow area in the top third of the screen. Is it just me?
This is starting to remind me of the early PW1 posts. Guess it's time to wait it out.
Also, have you tried holding it in what I call the magazine grip? As in holding the left side near the middle, one handed, and using your thumb to keep it securely pinched in your hand? The reason I ask is I want to know if the page turn buttons have any issues when you do that - if they're hard to use, etc.

Hoping they have not failed to wire them up everywhere they'd be useful, and not just for 'turning pages'.

No. It only seems to work in books. I tried to use it in the store and on my home screen and in the browser, and nada, not even a haptic feedback. |
That's what I was afraid of - I like to read on the bus, and you have to hold it by the bezel if not seated. Between that and the inability to use the page turn buttons to navigate the ToC or other things that also have 'pages', or sounds like I'll be waiting for firmware and hardware revisions - and maybe a price drop - before going Voyage. Especially when my Paperwhite does the same things the Voyage does, minus the 'buttons' and light sensor.
