Dust Update...

Kindle 2? Ewww...



The fugly-ness alone turns me off. I'll keep my Sony7
Thank you very much.

As for the dust... My understanding is that the touch panel needs
to 'breath' so as to not form condensation or fog up from tempurature
changes and could be by design. However after attempting to blast air
into the reader and see if I could clear the underside of the touch panel
it turns out that the unit is air-tight. I was not successful making any
changes to a couple of flecks seen only at night against a dark background.
ie. photo

First I blasted air in the top right corner. That yielded Nada. Then I
removed the memory cards and stylus and blasted air into those large
openings and again Nada. I think this was present at manufacturing.
If it gets worse then the dust is originating from within the unit and not
outside as if a magical gust of wind swept some foreign particles into
only the top right hand corner of your exquisite Sony reader...

I'm tempted to open her up and just wipe the damn thing but I'm
waiting to hear back from Sony. Over-all I'm still VERY happy with
the reader and wouldn't trade for anything!
