Yes -- but in that picture, those "obvious shafts" were *not visible* in the environment in which the picture was taken. They were only visible if you looked at the camera image, even if you looked at that image after turning its brightness down so it was the same apparent brightness as the original screen.
Camera sensors are different from human vision. Amazon have optimized the Kindle for its users, human beings, not for cameras. So *of course* the things look horrible in photos: they're advanced optical devices tuned for the human eye and visual cotex being viewed by things that don't process light like the human eye and visual cortex do.
I did say my photo was useless at the top of my post
