Well, I wish I had taken pictures of my Voyage. But, when I first got it, the uneven coloring was very noticeable (pinkish to yellowish) at some intermediate lighting setting. If you turned the light all the way up, it was a very even screen.

My initial reaction was to return the device. Then I got lazy. Last night I was reading on it and I realized that the screen looked very good - I played around with the light and saw no lack of uniformity at any setting.

I remember going through something similar with the first paperwhite. The screen was really bad on the first day, but then it seemed to get better over time - although some degree of uneven coloring persisted.

Could it be that some "burn-in" is necessary? Some glue that needs proper drying? Humidity accumulated during the shipping process (my voyage was left on my porch on a rainy day while I was at work...).

Anyone else observe changes over time?
