Is there anyone here with a colored PP who is NOT experiencing a problem with the finish? I am curious!
I caved and ordered the purple PP (PPP?) on the 17th before I read this thread. It arrived yesterday. It had a blistery spot on the back about the size of a thumbprint. This AM it has a small blister on the previous page button on the left side. I can live with the marring on the back, and even with the tiny blister on the front. But not if the finish further deteriorates, which it seems likely to do.
I'm very torn about this! I've been very happy with my ebookwise and my ipaq, but my eyes do get tired reading and I thought perhaps the eink screen would be a good solution. I've never been attracted to the Sony or other devices for various reasons but I liked what I read about the PP. And what can I say? I must be shallow because the purple color pretty much decided it for me.

I understand we can return the unit for another but it seems every colored unit is likely to be defective, so our choice would be black or white, which I don't really want. Like I said, I'm shallow....
