The lights going up and down, you can go through the gradient gradually as you go down the screen.

I really want the 7" screen, but If the replacement doesn't have a really good light guide, i may just have to return it, and wait and hope they do a 7: paper white next year.

I got my next replacement today, and I am really torn on what do to.
This one seems to have the worst of both worlds, the other replacement had a more even lighting, but the whole screen was yellowed like old plastic.
This one has uneven lighting, and looks yellow.
I want to support amazon making the 7" screen, but I don't know if I am just being overly picky now. Now that I have noticed this uneven gradient, I'm not sure I will ever be able to un-see it if it is going to be present on every device.
Or if I just keep getting replacements from a stone that has had this effect in it, and I just need to keep trying.
This yellowing is very noticeable when I put it next to my paperwhite, thats my gold standard for "white" right now .
I'm open to any input people have. I may just send it all back, and try again next year?
