I'm on my second PW2, in the last two weeks, so I'm gonna return both of them tomorrow and try one more time (I'm not holding my breath, though). It does look like a crapshoot game. I agree.
First one is more or less evenly lit, except that it has two shadows at the bottom of the screen, smack dab in the middle of it, that a triangle is formed on the last 15-20% of the page when text is displayed. The second PW doesn't have shadows (at least not in the bottom center of the screen, they're a bit to the sides), but it's half-tone: the upper half considerably darker, more amber than full-blown yellow... No thanks. At my day job I work with tablets mostly, doing QA (Quality Assurance) for various software developers, and these inconsistencies stand out to me like a bad sore. So the heck with that. Amazon released the PW in 2012 and we're entering 2015. They had ample time to perfect it. If the third one isn't perfect I'm giving up on this generation of e-readers. The seller is going to hate me, but I really don't care. Too bad the Kobo Aura H2O isn't available in my country... It supports ePub, PDF, CBZ/CBR... Freaking Amazon with their closed-minded business practices... AT LEAST DO THE HARDWARE RIGHT, DAMMIT!
