I'm that poster.

I think the flecks shown in the photo are similar in nature but there's no way my eyes would be able to focus that close to the text without a magnifying glass. I would definitely be able to live with the flecks in the close up photos on this thread.

My problem is that I have a number of prominent flecks (probably clusters of stuck pixels) that are visible from normal reading distance and located on the screen in those places in between lines of text on my usual font settings. These flecks keep drawing my eye and distracting from the reading experience.

On closer inspection my PW2 has these flecks too but nowhere near the same degree. Weird (and mildly disappointing) that the e-ink screens got worse in that regard when the DPI jumped from 212 to 300.
