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?

Mine did not change. I was able to verify that it didn't by turning my Voyage sideways in the same light and could very clearly see the original discoloration and graduation. I think eyesight tends to adapt to given circumstances. I did the same thing with my KV in all different positions and on a plane. It persisted. The only thing I read about was it disappearing in daylight. Again, that could be adaptation or it really goes away, but then returns. I sent mine back before testing in sunlight. Had it about a week.
If a "fix" is coming there's a problem, whether lighting or firmware.
ETA - re: Humidity - I always allow my devices time to reach ambient temperature and let any humidity also dissipate.
