I did the same thing, first said bleep it it is being returned without getting a replacement, but then decided to try one replacement. The Oasis is the best Kindle I’ve ever owned as far as lighted screen and ease on the eyes when reading goes. It was also the first lighted Kindle I’ve owned to have a great screen on the first go around. I returned 3 PW1'S and 2 PW2'S due to awful screens. But unfortunately it is also the very first Kindle I’ve ever owned to have a defect. Hopefully it was just a quirk, or maybe it got handled roughly during shipping. I searched the internet for others having this issue and didn’t see that many similar complaints. After that I decided to get it replaced. I really do like reading on it. Even with the vertical line I can read on it, although it does distract my eyes a bit. It isn't really noticeable much when using the inverted text mode. But one line can easily turn into many lines so it is best to replace it while I’m still in the 30 day return window.
