Of course it's much easier when you've got a physical store nearby, but I would probably not bother even then. All my Kindles have been good enough for me to enjoy reading on them.

I offered to compare it to another model before requesting an exchange and used the physical store for that. I processed the exchange online. It was noticeable to both employees so I felt better that I wasn’t imagining it. I figure I’m staring at the device long enough that the screen should be acceptable. I think I went through three Voyages and three Oasis 1s before getting a solid screen. I went through five Paperwhite 1s and all were splotchy. I bought my friend a Paperwhite and it had a hole in the screen. I try not to be excessively picky but I’m discerning.
