If you were lucky, you got a darker gradient on the lower half of the screen with light green blotches in one corner. If you were unlucky, you got full on green and red blotches coming from the bottom edge.
Don't get me wrong; some people got uniform warm lighting, but I have to believe it is the worst implemented of any modern comfortlight by a significant margin.
There are way too many posts of people returning three and four devices trying to find one unaffected for me to believe less than 50% came without some irregularity.

This was exactly the same problem I had. It was
really bad on mine. Smaller variations in backlight I would not care about, but on my devices it was really irritating in my face. So much that I no longer enjoyed using the A1 and reading books in the dark.
Apart from the big problems I had with the natural backlight, it was a truley awsome device and a great e-reader (that was why I gave it so many chanses to find an acceptable one).
