Especially if we're talking about a $450 device that is sold as a premium device. Saying that its OK for a device to function properly only sometimes is a cop out and would breed some pretty awful behaviour/results in industry if it was a sentiment everyone adopted.

If someone's unhappy with their device, you're not going to be able to argue with them back into a state of happiness. It's how they feel - end of story.
I think you misunderstood my post.
Let's use the lights as an example.
We will use your 20 as an example.
The 20 is for extremely bright conditions. It is not recommended for use in a dark room.
That is why there is a dimmer.
And why if you burn your retinas using the device improperly then it is not the fault of the device.
Just because a device CAN do something, does not mean one should do it in all situations.

Yes, in a dark room, with bright lights one will see the splotches.

Oh and a little something I learned in an English class,
If one is looking for faults in something, they will find it. Even if they have to go to extremes.

Now I am sure, there will be a few lighting issues. But is it the device itself or is the device incompatible with the user? Or both?

Oh and haven't we (as a group)had this conversation on every lighted ereader?
