For the record, I've owned and used an assortment of PW1s, PW2s, Kobo Aura HDs and now an H20.

Having to tolerate lighting shortcomings is inexcusable and unnecessary, IMHO. How on earth Amazon's executives in charge of product development have allowed yet another release with the same problem/flaw and lack of quality consistency simply befuddles me. :banghead:
Yes, yes, and yes! I was just wondering the exact same thing in my above post.

I will say I was able to eventually get an evenly lit Kindle PW2 (without color hues, it was not an easy feat) last year, which in some ways is almost more disturbing because it shows Amazon can manage it, just not with any regularity. The whole thing baffles me. Why is this such a problem for them? It is truly inexcusable to keep releasing device after device with these issues, year after year. I don't wish to make anyone who loves their kindle upset, but I have to be honest and say that I feel they are really taking advantage of a lot of people. This is not a cheap device. It's frustrating and disappointing to me.
