Then again I could be (and probably am) completely wrong on this.

What I can see is that the fonts are really sharp. So once they get the lighting issues cleared up I think this is going to be a really nice reader.
Oh, I think it is pretty reasonable. The PW1 also had a lot of complaints early on, which eventually resolved themselves. It seems Amazon has quality control issues during the first big rush when a new device technology comes out and they are rushing to fulfill the release date orders.
PW2 did not have these issues, I guess since they didn't really do anything new...

I imagine it will be like the PW1: a lot of people will complain about the color in the first couple months, some will return it and some will get a replacement model which looks fine, and by January the problem will be gone, never to be seen again. But people will still be spreading FUD about it (the PW1 specifically) two years later.
