Mine did it immediately on exposure to sunlight. I got it out of sunlight, did a page change, and everything was fine again. There were a lot of complaints of poor contrast on early K2s, and mine seemed to have better than average contrast, so my solution was to keep mine out of the sun rather than return to amazon.
It certainly could be that modern kindles exposed to excessive heat would also fade, but maybe light is a factor as well. I've never had a problem with sunlight fading modern kindles. It's too bad the exact nature of the problem was never disclosed.
