I have seen the various pictures posted by members but it is difficult to judge from photos.
I owned a first generation Kindle Paperwhite and the screen lighting was so uneven that it was highly distracting. Moreover the screen was very splotchy and there seemed to be yellow and greenish tints on the screen. So my question is regarding whether the lighting is as bad as the Paperwhite first generation lighting.
If you're a very picky man who demands perfection in everything, then stay away from the i86. The light intensity is noticeably brighter on the lower end of the screen, but only just. I don't usually turn on the brightness to the max level because its not really necessary; level 3 or 4 is enough for me.
