If I'm I'll probably ask for a replacement, if it is as common as it used to be I'll just let it be, this one is not that disturbing (my pw1 had 2 and both are waay brighter) cause I don't feel like going through multiple replacements this time...
Also, the low light setting, I used to be able to read in a dark room with it anywhere from 1 to 5. Is it indeed almost impossible (waaaay darker) in a PW 3 or is it only my device?

If this helps, know that every single unit is different from the other. That's a fact.
Tech is evolving, and it's far from being perfect. At this moment each e-reader is comparable to a human fingerprint. You won't find two identical ones.
Most people are not extremely picky, so they claim they have the perfect screen. But such thing does not exist at this moment, but it's still perfect for them, which is great.
Person "A" return and exchange his kindles multiple times, and he finds pinholes on 6 consecutive devices. (on all of them).
Person "B" bought 6 kindles during the last couple of years, and he claims all 6 of them are 100% perfect.
Take this for granted. Person "A" would have found all kind of imperfections on person's "B" kindles. In all of them.
If I were you, I would focus on the experience.
Evaluate if the pinhole is annoyingly distracting you.
If you can spot if without even trying.
If you find a pleasant light configuration...
If front light is reasonably evenly distributed..
And then read like crazy!
BTW, I've never owned a PW2. But with my PW3 I'm using from 10 to 16 to read in the dark.
I wouldn't be able to read at 5. So I guess yours is perfectly fine in that matter.
