Not sure if I'd return it if that were possible; I got this via a work reward scheme I've never used before and can imagine it's a faff. I'll probably get used to it. Not really sure how the warmth is implemented - isn't it a mix of warm and cold LEDs? Couldn't a software update allow it to use fewer warm LEDs when warmth is zero? Or do they have batches of warmer cold LEDs?
Edit: Because it's in warranty Amazon are going to send me a replacement tomorrow, so I'll update this thread when I see it.
Note that when I asked if it was likely the replacement would be less cool I got some replies which, despite being slightly ambiguous due to grammar issues, suggest it's a known problem:
"The issue will be a random which will be occurred only with the few device not all the device will have this issue so please don't worry."
"This is caused by the intermediate hardware issue over the device.You will not encounter this same issue over the replacement device."
Your "send 'em yellow screens during sales" idea is intriguing and plausible; perhaps by the same token they have known non-warm screens to use for replacements?

It’s worth trying a replacement, good luck, unfortunately e-reader screens are a lottery.
