Here are 4 photos of pictures as they appear on my Kindle. The first is a picture that someone on another board spent a lot of time editing and said appeared great on his Kindle. The last three I edited to 600x800 and made to greyscale in Photoshop on my own.
I still think something isn't quite right. The blotches never looked like this on my Kindle 1...
Does it seem like a hardware issue or just me expecting too much?
