It shows that it is definitely possible to produce a good front light Kindle. And since neither the Paperwhite nor the Voyage or the Oasis are cheap, customer are entitled to get a good device. I can imagine that it must be very frustrating to exchange devices constantly. It would be interesting to know how high the percentage of exchanges because of uneven illumination really is. The problem is of course that unsatisfied customers tend to be far more vocal than satisfied customers. Also, optics and illumination is processed differently by each individual.. Some are more sensitive and register faults where others see near-perfection. Others see slight faults initially but don't notice it anymore after a very short while. My hunch: the majority of customers are probably content with the illumination of their Kindles and for Amazon it would be more expensive to set up tighter quality control than exchange and liberally replace the devices for those who complain.

May I please ask, do you have pics of your voyage's lighting?
I want to see what "as good as it gets" means, as Id like to see how your gradient looks.
I exchanged mine, and the gradient is still noticeably there, but I think Im going to have to just get used to it.
From what I hear, Oasis is even worse as far as the gradient goes. Im just curious to see the range of the gradient, as I want to know if mine is on the low end or high end of the spectrum
