No device is perfect, but my H20 is quite evenly lit to my eyes. That said, I would assume it's fairly common to have the top of the device be slightly dimmer than the bottom since the lights reside at the bottom. However, on the voyage I had, there was an extreme gradient where the top of the screen was obviously yellow and the bottom blue. So not a slightly darker yellow at top and a slightly lighter yellow at bottom. No, instead it was two completely different shades, yellow to blue. I see it on all of the pics posted on the board, but to varying degrees.
Then there was the second issue of various other color hues entering the equation on the lit kindles. To my eyes, at least. I had pink and green blotches in the extreme on my PW1 and also on the voyage, but to a lesser degree. I still easily saw them on my voyage, however, especially at lower light levels and when reading in a dim room. I do not have this issue on my H20. So, like Rizla, I wonder what Kobo is doing differently.
