Of course it was a putdown.
Maybe you could have read more than the title before giving the "obvious response".
I said in my post that the visible light bulbs was not the only issue. When I noticed the uneven light at the bottom I looked for a reason and saw the lights on that edge only and that was something that was obvious, where slight variations in brightness are much less definite and hard to demonstrate. So that's why I lead with that.
Since this is the first actual Kindle I've had in my hands, I thought I'd ask other people who had them if this was normal. I have no other way to tell.
I had no idea that these were called "shadow cones". You can't find something if you don't know what people call it.
So, snark aside, it seems that the uneven lighting close to the lights is "normal', so I will just have to live with it.

Normally I have it on 11 or 12. So, no.
