And we all know the answer is '42'.
Yes, the artifacts are (seemingly) missing letters, not missing pixels nor random missing blocks or pixels -- but specifically blocks of pixels that specifically bound complete single letters, as if by design. No software bug I know of can align to letter boundaries like that without an intelligent creator. This is too exacting to be a random bug, IMHO. Either a hoax, or a joke by a programmer from amazon (or here), or a kindle computer virus. Nothing else makes sense unless I am overlooking something here.
If it was a text document rather than just images containing text, then I could see other potential causes. But this specific condition remains a mystery to me.
