When I have google it people seem to say it’s expected as the leds are down the side so you notice it more, others say they swapped first one and second was better, trouble is I don’t know how bad a bad one is, more worried about the bottom left as too me the text does not look as crisp but that may be kind over matter. Would appreciate some advise, John Lewis have been helpful and said to just bring it in.
As for the battery in the kindle, I read 60% of a 340 (number of pages listed on amazon) page book over most of the day and used 50% battery, only had one book on and it had been charged over night after adding book and with it being new I was checking back lightnlevel with was on full most of time, is that about normal usage for a ereader ?
Appreciate any advise you can give

I didn't see any attached picture.
If the light brightness is at maximum, the battery drain is 3 or 4 times higher than with the light off. If you have wifi on all the time, that will affect battery life as well.
You can see pictures of an Oasis 2 next to a Voyage at various brightnesses from 1 to 24 in this thread:

From your description of what you and others see, your screen is probably as even as can be expected. That is, you are more likely to get the same or worse than better if you exchange it.
