I'm in China so I'm a few hours ahead of many here. People were reporting to receive their Kindles since 10 or 11am (GMT+8). I got mine in the afternoon around 4pm (GMT+8). A few people complain about the screen not aligning with the shell, some complain about the lights being a bit patchy (mine also a bit patchy but it's not serious). Compared to the Voyages I think the Voyages have a more evenly lit screen... all my Voyages are with my sister so I can't compare the three.
Thanks for taking the time. Your pw2 looks particularly yellow. Or maybe your pw3 is particularly cool? Pw2 "ink" looks darker but maybe it's just that the font is thicker.

How does contrast compare in real life. I know it's probably hard to judge since the cooler screen looks whiter so it will look like it has better contrast, but concentrate on the text. Also please try with front light on around 12. Max light can wash things out and I think few people actually use it that way.
