There are now 71 reviews, and only 1 mention, out of that 71, of a bad screen. Does 1 out of 71 count as "many"?

I don't know why it is that a greater proportion of people in the US would seem to have screen issues. Do you have any idea why that might be so?
I think it was the great Amazon apologist Samarkind who used Amazon PW1 reviews to dismiss users experiencing colored blotching, despite the numerous images they posted on these forums, so I'm not sure how valid a measure the reviews are.

In any case, I wasn't discussing the QC of individual Kindles. I was discussing the general Kindle front-light technology, that is prone to producing discoloration, whether it be a gradient or blotching. The fact is the Kobo light has consistently displayed less extremes of discoloration. It's not QC of individual units that is making a difference. It's the base technology. What are they doing differently to Amazon?
