How are the fine denizens of this forum finding it? I suppose I'll get used to it (and it's going to be less noticeable when I'm using the internal light less and instead using sunlight etc) but given the choice I'd have gone with the same temperature as my previous 4 or 5 kindles.

I bought three 12th Generation Paperwhites from Amazon. A Signiture Edition on Black Friday, a Kids Paperwhite in January and another Signiture Edition at full price (thinking maybe they knew what batches had yellow screens and were sending them out during sales). All three kindles had yellow screens. The picture attached is of my last one next to my other three kindles. All kindles on full brightness with no warmth.
I returned all three. I then bought three 12th Gen Paperwhites from eBay. Hubby and I have kept two and are re selling the other one. From the Warranty dates shown in the Devices section on Amazon it appears the newer they are (I.e the longer Warranty period left) the warmer they are. We have two whitish ones and a cream one, nothing as bad as the ones I got from Amazon.
I have no idea what Amazon are playing at but it’s not good. Hubby and I had 11th Gen PWs and only wanted the 12th Gen’s as they are much faster navigating through menus and downloading books.
