For those of you who don't know or remember, I was one of the people here who went through a ton of PW1s when they first came out, only to keep the least bad one. Then, when the PW2 came out, I went through a ton of devices only to keep the least bad one. I no longer am willing to pay good money for subpar quality. Enough is enough. I will stick with my horrid PW2 (2013) screen for a while longer.
Also, I wholeheartedly agree that the newer Paperwhites [PW2(2014)?/PW3?] must be much better than the crappy ones I received in November/December 2013, because here in this thread, throughout this forum, and in the Voyage reviews on Amazon.com, I read again and again how Amazon fixed the blotchy PW1 screens with the PW2. They didn't, at least not in the beginning, or I would not have had to keep the least bad of the units sent to me, and my PW2 screen would be evenly lit now, with only a single hue of color.
The screens I saw in person and in pictures here when the PW2 first came out were multicolored, but more recent pictures posted here appear to be more even, as do devices I see in person at BB. This all leads me to believe that they improved the tech or QC or whatever, and they did not advertise it because they can hardly say: Pay the same money for the same device that now sucks less, or, as DuckieTigger more eloquently put it:

If your PW2 is still within a year I'd ring up and complain about it, explain that you settled for a bad one at the time as it was the best Amazom could send you and that now the issues are resolved you want a replacement. Especially as you can't get a decent Voyage.
